A funky looking saddlebag woven with undyed goat´s hair and decorated with knotted “flowers. This type of saddlebags would carry in each pocket a pitcher with water. The goat´s hair will swell when wet and the water wouldn´t go all over the place. This saddlebag it is fun to look at and its naive design looks very cool and contemporary.
