    Functional hinged cantle, custom turned knobs and rivets- bag lined in red pigskin suede.
    Edit: I forgot to mention that the pelt is actually a vintage MINK, which has been amazingly well crafted to look like spotted cat.
    I've worked with some antique leopard before, and this fur is really REALLY amazingly done.
    The commissioner found it on an antique handbag and it was repurposed.

    As always constructive commentary is welcome.
