The Original – Cow Leather – Green: $750 Pledge

Each week we receive grass-fed cows, pigs, goats, lambs, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits from allover New England, upstate New York and Pennsylvania. Everything is broken down and portioned out to the restaurants at our butcher shop. The only part of the animal that we were not using was the hide. So, after 10 years of dreaming together of a simple leather goods brand, we found a tannery in upstate New York who would custom tan the cow and pig hides of the animals that we serve in the restaurant. They are picked up from our slaughterhouse in Troy Pennsylvania and taken to Gloversville, NY. for tanning. Once the leather is tanned and colored it is taken to our bag maker in midtown, NYC. All linings are made of organic canvas, our zippers are riri, and our hardware is solid brass.

• Canvas lining, pocket and zipper
• Width: 19 inches / Height: 14 inches / Thickness: 4 inches
• This cow leather is valued for its suppleness and ability to conform and mold to the wearer over time

Reward includes two tickets to our triumphant dance party. This distinctive tote will also come stuffed with a hand drawn map of its very own creation myth/narrative and the, in comparison, decidedly ordinary Tarlow original Cyclops drawing and an Anna Dunn drawn Odyssey coloring book!
