Crossbody shoulder bag in leather and upcycled cotton in red stripes

Handwoven Crossbody Bag with Red Stripes - Recycled Andalusian Fabric

This exceptional crossbody shoulder bag combines Andalusian artisan heritage with sustainable contemporary fashion. Each piece is handwoven on a 200-year-old wooden loom, transforming recycled cotton materials into authentic Andalusian jarapa featuring red and burgundy striped patterns.

Traditional Craftsmanship with Recycled Materials

An Andalusian artisan specialising in the ancestral jarapa tradition creates each crossbody bag from scratch. Cotton remnants from the furniture manufacturing industry are shredded, then rewoven on an historic loom to create recycled fabric with thick colored stripes in varied red tones. The fabric combines with premium quality calf leather to create an elegant, durable shoulder bag.

The process transforms recycled textiles into an exclusive piece, supporting sustainable fashion and preserving Andalusia's artisanal heritage. Each crossbody bag is truly one-of-a-kind, with slight variations in the striped pattern that attest to its handmade origins.

Versatile Design for Everyday Wear

The adjustable leather strap offers multiple wearing options: carry it classically over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag across the chest. This design, called "bandolero" in Spanish, is name after the 18th and 19th century Andalusian bandits who wore their bags across the body to keep their hands free, provides maximum comfort and security.

The exterior zip closure protects your belongings, while an additional interior pocket keeps your small items organized. The thick cotton lining adds structure and resilience to this handwoven shoulder bag.

Authentic Style with Andalusian Roots

The striped pattern in red tones, from deep garnet to intense burgundy, brings distinctive character. This crossbody shoulder bag complements both casual looks and more polished outfits, ideal for those who value sustainable fashion with authentic history.
