All of the bags from Forestbound are made using recycled materials. They are beautiful to look at it, and you know the leather will last a long time, becoming moulded to your body and faded and soft in a ruggedly attractive way.
The top one is salvaged material from a WII duffel bag, which is interesting. Good to know the fabric will last a while.
I bought Mat a leather satchel type man bag thing in a very similar leather about five years ago with the hope it would do the faded lived in look thing, and it has. It's also masculine and rustic looking, and you know, not a murse or anything. Really, it's not. It's shiny from rubbing on his body every day, and soft in just the right way.
Pleather has its place (S&M clubs?), but a good bag is made of good leather, and there's no way around that.
