Priestess | earth snake
The Priestess is a modern take on a classic leather bucket purse. Our favorite feature? Open her up and see everything that's inside -- no more digging around, everything has its place. In true Maven form, the Priestess is versatile. Transition between crossbody, forearm and shoulder lengths. Going shopping? Wear as a crossbody. Going to dinner? Carry as an adorable handheld. A simple overhand knot keeps your length in place and the dangles of the strap ends add the modern edge.
This design was stitched with a signature "Snake" meditation. For thousands of years, in ancient cultures across the globe, the snake has signified rebirth and wisdom. Our friend the snake sheds her skin over and over again, creating herself anew and learning from what she left behind.

Additional Notes
Please note that every bison leather hide comes from a free-roaming animal, native to the North American landscape.
Expect interesting markings and slight variations in color and material texture – all contributing to the uniqueness of your special piece.
These markings are signatures of authentic leather and the Maven aesthetic.
This design was also made with plant-dyed leathers, which were dyed by hand in the Maven leather studio. No two pieces are exactly alike.
