Why we made this one:
-
We weren't always into red. Our leatherwala, Ganesh, made us take the leap. Obviously, he knows what's up. This particular bag is one of three different red pieces we made. This one is a true bright red, (no orange-y undertones). The leather itself is smooth, with just enough grain to give it the perfect edgy-yet-earthy vibe.

Why you'll live in it:
-
So flattering. The shape compliments your body. It's even kinda sexy.
-
So functional. It fits everything you need (and more than you think!) but isn't heavy or bulky like a typical carry-all.
-
So accessible. Be hands-free all day, and easily sling it in front of you to access your stuff. So much better than having to take off your whole backpack just to grab your credit card.
-
So comfortable. Shape and strap designed to evenly distribute weight, which is great when you're wearing it for hours at a time.
-
So versatile. Daytime adventures. Dinner dates. Travel days. Bike rides. Brunches. Festivals. Walking for hours. All of it.
-
So worth it. It's unique, made from recycled material, and gives profit back to the artisan — aka the 'wala' — who made it. That's the real deal, and so are you.
Since this piece is handmade by a real person, and is made from reclaimed material, it may have "imperfections" — like a trace of chalk from the maker's pattern-drawing, a light mark on a part of leather or a light wearing of the leather from its time in reclamation transit. These are imperfections in appearance, not in functionality, and we find them endearing! We encourage you to embrace them, as they are quite literally the receipts we get for choosing to support #sustainablefashion.
