Small leather basket","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade from 4-5 ounce vegetable tanned cowhide, this basket tells a story. Back in 2024, I briefly set up my leather shop in my friends' warehouse in Cortland, NY. Around 5 am one morning, a water pipe broke right above my leather rack, soaking most of my hides. After carefully being laid to dry in a room with high-powered fans, some of the hides were salvageable. This basket was made from a hide of natural (undyed) vegetable tanned cowhide that water marks all over it. At first, I thought the hide was ruined, but then I realized that the pattern of the water marks was actually beautiful! I traced the edges of the water marks with black leather dye, sealed the dye with acrylic sealer, then finally gave the leather a deep oiling. So there you have it, a one-of-a-kind basket bag born of an accidental flood. A beautiful mistake, if you ask me!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasket is one-of-a-kind and is approximately 8\" wide at the bottom, by 10\" long, by 8.5\" tall.
