Lucky You Speedy (Medium)

Lucky you — and you are, if you're the one who gets this bag. A hand painted Ace of Spades with leopard print spade body, red lips, "Lucky You" script, cherries, dice, and an 8-ball embedded in the most densely and beautifully hand tooled two-tone floral scroll leather barrel bag in the collection, with brown whipstitch edging and adjustable crossbody strap.

This is the bag for the woman who makes her own luck and has the wardrobe to prove it — the "Lucky You" barrel bag combining the hand painted lucky charm iconography that made the casino cowhide bag a collection standout with the full two-tone hand tooled leather body treatment that makes this version the most ambitious and most technically complex bag in the entire collection. Where the casino cowhide bag places its lucky charm imagery against a cowhide top panel and a tooled front band, this bag is entirely, completely, edge-to-edge hand tooled genuine leather — the full front, back, and side surfaces of the barrel body covered in the dense Western floral scroll carving in the two-tone natural tan and dark brown treatment that is the most dramatic and most traditional presentation of Western leather tooling. The two-tone tooling creates the shadow-and-highlight depth of a bas-relief sculpture — the raised scroll and botanical forms in the warm natural tan of the vegetable-tanned leather reading against the dark brown background of the antiqued depths in the maximum-contrast presentation that makes every carved element stand forward from the surface with dimensional clarity. Against this extraordinary tooled ground, the hand painted lucky charm elements of the composition occupy the center of the front panel in a playing card format — the Ace of Spades card face rendered in the large, upright rectangle of a playing card, the spade suit filled with a hand painted leopard print in tan and brown spots that references the wild, untamed energy of the woman who owns this bag rather than the standard black spade of the conventional card deck. "Lucky You" is written in flowing black script across the center of the card face, a pair of painted red lips below it delivering the flirtatious personality of a bag that knows exactly how irresistible it is. Red cherries with green leaf detail scatter across both sides of the tooled body, white dice with black pips sit at the lower left of the card composition, and a painted 8-ball completes the lucky charm vocabulary at the lower right.
