This is the one people photograph. The leather is embossed with a crocodile grain and finished in a pale cream, and the kitenge does not stop at the front pocket, it runs down both side panels and over the top handle as well.
The embossing is not only for looks. A textured surface hides the small marks that a plain cream leather would show within a week, which is what makes a pale bag survivable here.
It is the most involved bag in the range to make and the workshop turns out fewer of them, so the print combinations change more often than on the others. What you see is close to what you get, not exactly it.

Looking after it
Wipe the leather with a dry cloth and work in a leather conditioner every few months. Spot clean the fabric only and do not soak it, the colours are vivid and they will run.
