Bling! 
This leather and textile duffle bag is made with loooove....

These beautiful fabrics were hand sourced by me on a trip to Rajasthan. They are vintage dress panels, all hand embroidered with thousands of tiny stitches and tiny glass mirrors rumored to ward off evil for the wearer. I found them in a tiny market stall in a sweet little village over near the Pakistani boarder. 

They bounced around in my bag for a while until I met a leather worker in Dehli who upcycles vintage leather into wonderful new pieces. 
We chatted over chai and came up with some ideas. My favourite of all the pieces we created was this stunning bag. 

It is truly one of a kind! 

It's made to fit carry on dimensions, so 50cm long. It has two sturdy handles and an extra strap that can attach for over the shoulder wearing. We added studs to the base also so when you pop it down it's supported for wear and also off the ground to keep clean. Inside you'll find a zipper pocket and two open pockets. It's the perfect weekender. 

I love to think of the countless women who tenderly embroidered these fabrics for themselves and their loved ones, and the man who had the vision and skill to put it all together. 

Make your next trip special with this beauty. Once she's gone she's gone!

Please know that these fabrics and leathers have had a life. They're not "prefect" and will have quirks. We love that and feel that it adds to the charm of each piece and we don't consider their character to be faults.
