Handmade by our very own Kate Sherman of Prattsville, NY! Kate's attention to detail and craftswomanship is truly unparalleled. She has literally sold thousands of these over the years, so though you may not stand out in the Northern Catskills because everyone has a "Kate Sherman" original, you and your bag will definitely be noticed everywhere else. Designed with style, durably constructed for day to day usage and machine washable (just remove the inside bottom).
