Giveaway...$35 Gift Card to any CSN Store

Victoria Leather Teardrop Bag

Can't you just picture yourself toting this around this winter?

Victoria Leather Luxe by CSN

Victoria Leather Company began over 28 years ago in a barn in northern New Jersey. Victoria Leather purchased their leather, at that time, from a jacket manufacturer in New York City. The Teardrop, Victoria Leather's original design, was inspired by the need to use the small pieces of leather that were a by-product of leather coat manufacturing. (One of our earliest methods of recycling!) Little did they know the Teardrop would become their bestseller for over a quarter of a century. Today Victoria Leather uses only the finest hides available.

I have owned Victoria bags in the past and the quality is superb.
