- Object name(s):
- Leathercraft Patchwork Bag
- Brief description:
- Made from Devon Leathercrafts samples, this vibrant bag was sewn together by the donor. It consists of different samples of green, orange, brown, blue and red leather. When Vicary’s leather-goods department closed, a new business called Carter & Douglas was established in 1922 in an old stable off Albany Street. The business succeeded but the partnership did not. Carter bought out Douglas and the name changed to Devon Leathercrafts. Over the years the range of merchandise produced by the company varied but was largely based on purses, wallets, key cases and gift items.
