Three tiers of the goldenrod, bison leather shows off the many textures that come from different parts of the hide. This mid-sized tote is accented with a leather sunflower brooch that I have owned since 1985! It was just too perfect for this tote. The thick straps are from a vegetable tanned leather and attached with copper rivets. ***The brooch is pinned onto a special panel on the bag and can be removed, but another brooch or scarf would need to replace it.***
