The Shieldmaiden bag

The Shieldmaiden is not merely a bag—it is an artisan, handmade wearable shield. Crafted from high-end, durable 6 oz Canadian cowhide, it is designed to function as both protection and statement, strength and ritual.

Burned into wood and sealed with stain and resin are the runes Thurisaz and Algiz, symbols of defense, resilience, and sacred protection. Two small deer antler tips anchor the piece in ancestral tradition, while a detachable talisman featuring stained and resined vertebrae adds a potent, removable focal point.

The bag carries a shamanic Viking presence, finished with cut fringe and laced entirely by hand using grey leather lace to honor old-world craftsmanship. Its large scale allows it to wear like a true shield, complemented by an adjustable leather strap for modern use.

The Shieldmaiden represents strength, resilience, and determination—

crafted for the modern Shieldmaiden who walks with ancestral power, grounded protection, and unapologetic presence.
