Aces High Trick Rider Western & Frontier Series · Vintage L.L. Bean Large Tote · One of One
Hold on and wave your hat. A cowgirl rides a rearing paint horse across the front panel, stitched big and set right over the handle like the gate just swung open. The horse is worked in brown and white with a wild black mane flying back, every muscle and patch of coat shaded in fine, layered thread. A navy bridle studded with gold stars and red rosettes holds the reins tight. Up top, she's all grin: auburn bob, royal blue shirt, teal neckerchief, and a gold fringed sash, waving her turquoise hat high in one yellow-gloved hand. Below her, a saddle blanket in red, navy, and sky blue, and boots dug in for the ride. Eight seconds is nothing to her.
Off to the side, a gambler's hand:
An ace of spades framed in gold filigree, the card you want showing when the bets are down
A pair of red-dotted dice on a navy tile scrolled in gold, topped with a lit fuse
A coiled snake in red, white, and black, outlined in gold, for anyone who thinks they can bluff her
Finishing touch A braided rope in chocolate and cream is laced through the top of the bag and tied off at the side, cinched like a lasso ready to throw.
