Crafted from natural Bog Oak wood and fauve barenia leather, the Kellywood features a front flap of barenia leather, barenia accents, white contrast stitching, two straps with center toggle closure, single rolled handle and a removable strap. This finest oak wood grows in bog, absorbing moisture and leaves the surface with a mysterious dark green sheen.

Kellywood celebrates the encounter of two types of expert craftsmanship: saddlery leatherwork and joinery. The fruit of an inventive procedure, almond shaped wooden hulls from a wood and metal marquetry, revealing an overlay chevron motif in aluminum that seamlessly becomes one with the material.
