- Description
- The young man's bag is a striking white accessory, adorned with bold black stripes that create a visually appealing contrast. Its surface is embellished with an array of beads and flat bead strips, adding texture and depth to the design. Long, elegant throngs made of goat skin drape gracefully from the bag, enhancing its uniqueness. The sleek, straight lines of the bag suggest a masculine touch, hinting that it carries the essentials for his pipe and tobacco, reflecting both style and practicality.
