OBJECT LOST IN THE PAST
I lost a tube that was designed and created for me by a leather maker. She
actually made two tubes for me, but I lost one of them. They are similar in dimensions : 84 cm in length, 8,5 cm in diameter and 24 cm in circumference. The one that I lost was made by a piece of dark brown-coloured american leather and had a 1,5 cm wide leather strap that accommodated both as a strap and fastener for the top cap of the tube which could be taken off. The strap could be worn over the shoulder or across the chest and was more than the entire length of the tube connecting to the top and to the bottom (the extra length allows for some slack so that the strap can be placed over the body). I could carry the tube while riding a bicycle. The tube was used for carrying
work, papers or anything that could fit inside it (even a wine bottle). The tube was created by folding a long leather rectangle tube into a circular shape and then stitching the two touching sides together. Another circular shape is cut from a piece of leather and stitched to the bottom of this circular tubularsh ped leather. To reinforce the bottom stitching of the tube, leather adhesivewas heated onto the stitching. The cap was made in a similar fashion butsmaller length. Both the cap and the tube have an opening side where one canstore things inside. The two are assembled together as one piece - a tube witha cap. The strap is the piece that connects the bottom of one side, extendsover the top and lands in the middle of the other side. This strap can befastened by a metal buckle that is stitched on the cap. The leather of this tubewas then treated with a polish and protective layer so that it can withstand theelements and weather. Unfortunately, I left this tube in a hotel one night a few
years ago. Every time I use its brother, I wonder where it might be in the world whether taken by another traveler and following along new adventures or simply thrown in a waste dumpster.
