Like it or not, with American West, we always know what we we’re going to get. The label fiercely clings to its country heritage with hand-tooled leather accessories like the Harvest Moon.
It’s easy to insult a bag like this. It is dated and without any fashionable features. But it’s also impossible to ignore the work that’s gone into it. The hand-tooled floral design covering the front slip pocket and side pouches is intricate and impressive. I also appreciate the whipstitching which decorates the top of the bag and its pocket. It might not be to my taste, but I can’t deny the craftsmanship.
The Harvest Moon is also a very practical purse. It’s rare to find four pockets, including the slip on the back, before we even open the bag up. And American West doesn’t stop there. The interior features a pair of open pouches for gadgets and a secure zippered one for valuables. That amount of interior pockets is generally standard, but most bags don’t have the external features we see here. The Harvest Moon is on the small side though, so if you like to carry plenty it may not be the purse for you.
$151.20 is quite affordable for any leather bag, but especially for one that’s handmade. And with American West’s lifetime guarantee, we know we’re spending money on a worthwhile investment. If your style veers towards the Deep South, this one’s worth considering.
