This is a laptop case, but it could also be used as a briefcase. Carrying this beautiful bag definitely makes a statement about a proud heritage. Six lines of decoration (chunks of turquoise, bone and cobalt blue trade beads) represent the Iroquois six nations.

This drum bag was created for Michael Red Sky. Michael is a charismatic teacher. The organic cut of this bag reflects his walk of the traditional Native American path; he wanted his bag to look as if it may have been made by the elders many years ago. Two bear paw appliques made from chocolate colored leather surround a lazy stitch Medicine Wheel in his tribal colors. Appliques and beadwork cost extra.
Buff Color Leather
We have had many requests for a leather drum bag. This bag is hand-crafted, with a leather hole punch and hand lacing. It is fully lined and padded, so that the weight of your drum is supported by the interior layer. This way, your leather will not stretch.
We use top-grade deer hide, soft and durable. Leather bags are adorned with bone and glass beads, if the customer wants, at no extra charge! We use decorative stitches in different colors of leather. These bags are truly works of art.
Choose from chocolate brown, british tan, gold or buff natural colored deer hides. Mixing the colors of the deer leather also makes an attractive bag.
Cost is determined by cost of materials and the hand labor involved. Large price jumps mean that an extra hide is necessary to build the larger size bag. Typical waiting time on a leather bag is at least one month.
Hole punch, leather needle, lacer, scissors and thousands of stitches make this the ultimate bag for a sacred hand drum. Cheryl builds each bag like a piece of buckskin regalia. Using different leather stitches for detail (herringbone, straight line, crosshatch, etc.), each bag is truly one of a kind. You will not find another bag like this anywhere, so bookmark this page before you continue to search the internet!
