Naturally dyed, handwoven cotton fabric is juxtaposed with remnants of the highest quality leather used to refurbish jet planes.
A weaver can produce approximately 30 cm to 200 cm of these complex patterns in one day, making these bags functional works of art. The fabric component of the bags is crafted sustainably in Laos by talented traditional hand loom weavers whose skills have been passed through generations of grandmothers, mothers and daughters.
All leather and hardware finishings are applied in New York by a boutique leather luxury accessories workshop.
THE BOBO
This seasonal fabric hobo complements a bikini or a parka equally well thanks to the rich patterning and deep indigo hues contrasted by ecru colored yarns that peek through this stunning maze of shapes.
