El Dorado vintage handmade leather briefcase/small school bag (small)

**Design** 『Beara Beara' creates bags for those who we have not yet met. But we sit and imagine who you may be. What secrets you have, what makes you smile, what makes you sigh. We sit at our messy desks and rummage through materials and shapes and patterns. We play. We play with our ideas. What will make your life a little brighter? We ignore the chaos in the street, the technology, the worries of life. We create something new. Every month we go home with our wages to give to our landlords and government and banks but still feel quite content. We like making strangers smile. We design bags for people we have never met before. We sat quietly, imagining the role you might play, the secrets you might hide; thinking about what can make you smile, what can make you sad and sigh. We sat at a messy table, arbitrarily fiddle with all kinds of materials. What can add color to your life? Is the answer we are trying to seek. Ignore the hustle and bustle of the bustling streets, the regulations of the system and the depressing troubles. Beara Beara has created exquisite and unique bags, I just hope you will have a smile. **Supply** In our minds we are Julio and Maria and Cesar and Natalia who also sit at their desks in Bolivia and twist and shape pieces of leather into something that has never been seen before. Our connection with our suppliers is one of the most special aspects about Beara Beara. A collaboration, which exists on mutual admiration, respect, understanding and general positivity. Improve people's lives through trade and not aid, is one of the principles on which the business is built, yet none of us imagined it would become so much fun . Beara Beara has a special and harmonious partnership with a manufacturer located in Bolivia, based on mutual appreciation, understanding and respect. Encouraging local residents to find employment and improving local living standards has always been our goal. **Quality** As a young business we have been quite hideous to work with; a spoilt child wanting everything and wanting it right now. Over demanding in production schedules, uncompromising in material quality, relentless in the pursuit of our exact designs, pedantic in finding faults. Hats off to our suppliers for putting up with us in our infancy but now that we are a tad more mature we have been justified by the fact that our customers appreciate our continued pursuit of quality and perfection. Naturally dyed hand-picked hides. One-of -a-kind cloths displaying history in a modern style. Soft linings and strong hardware. Our aim is always to create a quality product that will reward our customer's trust in us. Beara Beara is a very young and just starting brand. In this highly competitive fashion industry, we are committed to persisting in high-quality raw materials and original designs, and gradually growing stronger. Natural dyed fabrics, unique patterned fabrics, pure cotton lining and tough leather structure have become synonymous with Beara Beara. In order to make you who buy Beara Beara feel this intention and thank you for your trust, we will never compromise on the persistence of quality. **Overview** This bag is in a retro distressed style and is handmade from hard cowhide.

Beara Beara's bags are all made of unprocessed cowhide, and the leather will have natural and different shades of texture, which is a major feature of handmade cowhide products. __Will leather become soft after a long time?__ Yes, the leather of the bag will gradually become softer and more flavorful after a few weeks of use. But in order to maintain the shape of the bag and make the bag last longer, we recommend not to pack heavy items. __Leather waterproof?__ Natural leather is not waterproof. But whether it is leather or suede, you can use waterproof spray as protection. As the spray may affect the gloss of the leather, please use it appropriately. __Will the bag be damaged when it touches water?__ Leather will not be damaged if it absorbs a small amount of water. If you accidentally spray a small amount of water, it is recommended to hang the bag to air dry. __Will the suede part fade?__ Under normal use, it will not, especially under the protection of waterproof spray. However, the color of the suede part will change under severe water immersion. __Are the materials used organic?__ Yes, we use natural wool and natural leather from Bolivia. __Has Beara Beara joined a fair trade organization?__ Since our establishment in 2012, it has always been our philosophy and original intention to help the residents of third world countries, encourage them to find employment and provide financial assistance, and improve the living standards of local residents. We chose not to sign to join the Fair Trade Organization because we believe that we do not need to be recognized by this level, because our brand has been doing exactly this.
