This crossbody bag is handmade, using recycled cotton remnants; handwoven on a traditional 200-year-old loom, these remnants are upcycled into navy blue, turquoise and grey striped fabric and combined with natural calf leather to create a unique, one-of-a-kind bag. A handcrafted sustainable product.
Every crossbody bag tells a story of transformation: reclaimed cotton scraps become an exclusive design with stripes in navy blue, turquoise and grey on natural beige leather. This ancestral Andalusian technique, known as jarapa, transforms textile waste into unrepeatable artisan pieces.
Jarapa represents centuries of Andalusian artisan wisdom. This shoulder bag is born when the craftsman reclaims cotton scraps from the furniture manufacturing industry, shredding them according to the traditional method that salvages every textile fiber. On a 200-year-old wooden loom, these fibers are manually rewoven creating the characteristic striped pattern in blue tones - deep navy blue, vibrant turquoise and soft grey - that make each crossbody bag absolutely unique.
The natural calf leather in camel tone brings warmth and contrast to the cool tones of the recycled fabric. This combination of recycled materials and premium quality tan leather results in a durable shoulder bag that celebrates both sustainability and traditional Andalusian craftsmanship.
Versatility defines this design. The adjustable natural leather strap allows multiple wearing styles: wear it crossed over the chest in traditional bandolero style - as Andalusian bandits did when they needed free hands - or hanging over the shoulder for a more relaxed look. The stripes in navy blue, turquoise and grey bring freshness and style to any outfit.
Every element reflects conscious production: the recycled fabric avoids textile waste, the centuries-old loom operates without electricity, and each shoulder bag is crafted entirely by hand. The exterior zipper keeps your essential items secure, while the interior pocket in different fabric organizes small accessories. The thick cotton lining provides lasting structure.
This crossbody bag in blue tones is a one-of-a-kind piece that merges Andalusian jarapa tradition, distinctive design and sustainable production. Support fair trade and carry an unrepeatable artisan work.
