Calfskin shoulder bag with blue, turquoise and grey striped upcycled cotton

Artisan Leather & Handwoven Shoulder Bag | Eco-Friendly Sustainable Fashion 

Where Traditional Craft Meets Coastal Colors

This handcrafted leather shoulder bag brings together natural premium calfskin with a loom-woven body in striking blue, turquoise and grey stripes. The traditional jarapa weaving technique produces vertical bands that shift from ocean blue to soft silver-grey. Brass-toned hardware and decorative buckles add elegant finishing touches to this artisan-made design.

One Weaver, One Wooden Loom, One Vision

Behind every bag is a single self-taught artisan working in rural Andalusia - the only craftsperson in the world creating these pieces. Using a wooden loom passed down through generations and now over 200 years old, he transforms furniture fabric remnants into wearable art. No two bags are identical; each reflects the weaver's eye for color and the natural variations that come from true handcraft. This is ethical fashion in its purest form.

Jarapa: A 16th-Century Tradition Revived

The jarapa technique emerged in Andalusia's Alpujarras mountains after silk weavers were expelled in the 16th century. Without silk, local artisans adapted their looms to repurpose fabric scraps and worn textiles - practicing sustainable fashion centuries before the phrase existed. This eco-friendly bag carries that same philosophy forward, giving discarded materials a second life while keeping an endangered skill alive for future generations.

Effortless Style from Morning Coffee to Evening Drinks

Whether you're out exploring, meeting friends for brunch, or heading to an exhibition opening, this shoulder bag works with your day. The cool blues and greys complement white linens, denim, and black equally well. Roomy enough for your essentials - phone, purse, sunglasses, keys - the adjustable strap lets you find your perfect fit for comfortable all-day wear.

A One-of-a-Kind Gift She'll Treasure

Looking for something more meaningful than mass-produced accessories? This handcrafted creation supports traditional Andalusian artisanship and tells a story worth sharing. The combination of premium calfskin, upcycled cotton, and centuries-old technique makes it a memorable gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply to celebrate someone special.
