1970s Escanda Large Hair-on-Hide Leather Bag – Rustic Bohemian Satchel

1970s Escanda Large Hair-on-Hide & Leather Bag – Rustic Bohemian Satchel

A striking large vintage bag by Escanda, dating from the 1970s, with a wonderfully rugged bohemian character. Combining richly textured natural hair-on hide with warm brown leather, this distinctive piece captures the earthy, expressive style of the decade.

The hide displays a beautiful mixture of golden brown, caramel and chestnut tones, interspersed with lighter hairs and a pronounced darker stripe. Variations in hair length and direction create a lively surface with plenty of depth and movement. The slightly shaggy edges emphasise the bag’s organic appearance, while the smooth leather provides a contrasting frame.

Its generous, broadly rectangular shape recalls a traditional satchel, reinterpreted with bold proportions and decorative leatherwork. A wide fold-over flap is secured by an elongated leather strap and a substantial brass-tone buckle. The rounded leather panel at the top of the fastening forms a particularly distinctive detail.

Dark leather lacing outlines the edges, handles and attachment points, adding definition throughout. Two brown leather handles connect to metal rings, with knotted leather ties and loose ends providing an additional touch of seventies character. Darker leather sections reinforce the lower corners and frame the base.

The flap opens to reveal a spacious main compartment with a warm tan interior and a darker brown base. The Escanda name is stamped inside the flap.

A statement accessory for lovers of original seventies fashion, rustic leather goods and textured vintage pieces. Wear it with flared denim, a fine-knit turtleneck and boots, or combine it with a flowing dress and a long wool coat for an effortless bohemian look. Its substantial scale and richly varied surface make it a focal point even with a simple outfit.
