When I was a kid, we had a saddlebag in the barn, covered in dust and missing the leather tie tails.
When I finally asked what it was used for, since we didn't use it like the others, I was surprised at the answer. It was a bag that Stevie [our mule] used to carry every night when she helped run the trap line. We don't run trap lines anymore, and Stevie has since passed, but I still think about the dusty old memories on the wall. This hand-tooled crossbody canteen bag will surely carry many memories for you too.
