Carry all your necessities at ease with the Cheyenne Rope Bag! You will love the way this bag lies comfortably against your back or over one shoulder and you’ll love it even more for its innovative construction. This bag is composed of only TWO main pattern pieces! This design also lends itself well to the addition of hand embroidery or appliqué.
