A Story Behind this Handmade Leather Purse

Price Change- Deciding to tell the bare summery of the story behind this genuine hand sewn leather sachet- looks/feels almost as fresh as when I got it in 2005, In Maine, USA. Still in highschool, (before pot was legal) I always heard rumors of a guy who would throw the biggest, secretest, funnest party you could EVER imagine going to only once a year.. a party that sometimes never ended & best of all, you could do ANYTHING you wanted there. & that freedom for a young girl who just wanted to let loose for the first time- man, the utter aching desire I felt of just wishing to god my friends & i could find out WHERE exactly these parties were at so I could finally “expand my mind” & dance all night long. Well i bought this bag from a random younger than me but older guy who worked hard all year making tons of different sized bags just to sell at those festivals. He was our unofficial travel guide, seriously a character from “Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas” & this was the cheapest one he had available & he literally made a map, & we took off for a 4 hour drive that I’ll never forget. I paid him my last $100 because he was the coolest person i’d ever met in my LIFE at the moment…Wherever he is now? I’ll never know. Outer space..? hopefully on the brighter side of the moon... I think he’s still kickin it somewhere sending loving vibes to each & all- Russ Arbo- I should just write an actual story about you & that adventure you took us on omg….😆 ❤️✌️ you’re rare
