Fully hand sewn with authentic stitches.  Double buckskin draw strings at top to secure contents.

Large size was used as bulk storage for tobacco or smoking blend.  Indians typically filled the smaller version with a ceremonial blend, and put this bag in their pipe bag with their stem and bowl.  A mountain man may tie the smaller size to their belt, or carry it in their possibles bag for easy access when they wanted a pipe full.

Often decorated with beading and/or quillwork.  If you intend to do so on yours we recommend the Indian tanned hides.  Nearly impossible to do good looking work on a ready-made commercial tanned bag.
