Backpack: All leather (except webbing and hardware), All Handsewn. Hand sewing adds strength: the thread I use is braided and stronger than the more-common twisted thread AND the holes are cut cleanly and will not rip but will give a little to avoid damage to your bag (machine sewing starts with the needle ripping thru the leather)

This backpack is called "Plato II" because it is designed to use as a book bag and to make you feel like a famous Greek philosopher.

The Basic Plato II include single-layer shoulder straps and a small pocket on the front that can be located where you want

Padded Shoulder Straps - add $25

Inside Hanging Pocket - $19

ONE-OF-A-KIND:
Allcorn Leather’s One-of-a-Kind creations are absolutely unique; you will NEVER see another one like the one you buy. These creations are COMPLETELY hand sewn. I start with a pattern I have and make the basic creation.   After that, the remainder of the work is based solely on inspiration. I have been making similar bags for more than 40 years.
I hope you will enjoy all my One-of-a-Kinds. If you have a special request or suggestion, let me know; you can be my inspiration.
THE BOX:
          The basic pattern for this box is called Noula (see background below). The box is 5½” square and 4” tall. It is completely lined with goat skin which extends to the outside maintaining its natural edge. The inside of the lid is also lined; the top has a hole with a “puff” of goat skin trying to escape! The box is dyed with three shades of brown. It is finished off with a couple coats of leather balm and wax.
BACKGROUND:
          Noula is a heroine of Greece. Okay, maybe not, but she is a dear friend I’ve known for more than 50 years. She’s just a little bit crazy (hence “dear friend”).
