About the Shoulder Bags

Handcrafted and shaped slowly by hand, our shoulder bags rest easily at your side through every part of your day. Each piece carries its own artistry: delicate hand embroidery, intricate cutwork, hand-pleated detail, hand-painted artwork or the warm glow of 24K gold gilding done on nappa leather. Quiet in form and considered in detail, they are made to be carried for years.

Every shoulder bag is finished with 24K gold-plated hardware and carries a QR code that connects it to the artisan who made it.
