Hart In The Highlands
Hart In The Highlands
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
- Robert Burns ‘My Heart’s In The Highlands’ 1789
hart /hɑːt/ noun
an adult male deer, especially a red deer over five years old. Found on moorlands & mountainsides across Scotland & England.
Handcrafted by traditional sporran makers near the Highlands of Scotland, Rory Hutton & Nixey have collaborated to create their ‘Hart in the Highlands’ bag. Embossed with a distinguished stag head designed by award-winning artist & designer Rory Hutton. Like NIXEY, Rory is inspired by the history of these shores and he creates his designs through his chosen medium of lino cutting.
Each Hart bag is made from top grain saddle leather; the softest & most luxurious cut which will develop an individual patina with use. Dyed using vegetable tan to a rich chocolate brown & finished with brightly polished brass hardware, the Hart is designed to be worn as a cross-body bag; the perfect companion for country strolls & pursuits. The three hand-pleated rope tassels add a quintessential touch, for those who have left a piece of their heart in the Highlands.
