This is a great looking, premium leather bag that harks bag to a more elegant golfing age. In terms of aesthetics, this beautifully constructed bag is hard to beat – it definitely turns heads.
Made from 100% Mongolian Yak Leather, it’s soft to the touch but it’s also highly durable – it’s not a bag you’ll take out every game but if well looked after, it should last for years of special golfing occasions.
