MANJU 2025 Limited Edition Powder Sand Series - British Cowhide Vintage Crossbody Small Bag

‘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 the people we haven't met yet. We sit and imagine who you might be, what secrets you hold; contemplating what brings you a heartfelt smile and what might cause a sigh. We sit at our cluttered desks, freely exploring various materials and raw elements. What will add colour to your life? That's the answer we seek. We disregard the clamour of busy streets, rigid regulations, and life's troubles. Beara Beara crafts exquisite and unique bags, simply hoping to see you smile. **Supply** In our minds, we are like Julio and Maria and Cesar and Natalia, who also sit at their desks in Bolivia, twisting and shaping pieces of leather into something never seen before. Our connection with our suppliers is one of the most special aspects of Beara Beara. It's a collaboration built on mutual admiration, respect, understanding, and general positivity. Improving people’s lives through trade, 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's special and harmonious collaboration with manufacturers in Bolivia is founded on mutual admiration, understanding, and respect. Encouraging local employment and improving the living standards of the local community have always been our goals. **Quality** As a young business, we were quite difficult to work with; a spoilt child wanting everything, right now. Overly demanding in production schedules, uncompromising in material quality, relentless in the pursuit of our exact designs, and 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, our persistence has 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 customers' trust in us. Beara Beara is a very young and nascent brand. In this competitive fashion industry, we are dedicated to adhering to high-quality materials and original designs, gradually growing stronger. Natural dyed fabrics, unique patterned textiles, pure cotton linings, and robust leather structures have become synonymous with Beara Beara. To ensure that those who purchase Beara Beara feel our dedication and to thank you for your trust, our commitment to quality will never waver. **Overview** This is an exquisitely cute yet fully functional refined leather bag. The brass-toned vintage buckle adds a touch of retro charm, making it a perfect choice for various occasions, from daily outings to evening events. Though seemingly mini, its interior capacity can hold daily essentials like cardholders, phones, lipsticks, and more. *Each order comes with a 'Custom Stephy Leather Strap'. Please note if you wish to switch to a metal chain strap. Thank you. **Detail** Material: Cowhide Lining: 100% Cotton Dimensions (cm): Length 20.5 x Height 14 x Width 7.5 Strap (cm): 105 Weight (g): 420 **FAQ** _Is the bag made of natural leather?_ Yes, Beara Beara only uses natural leather. Beara Beara bags are made entirely from unprocessed cowhide, which will feature natural variations in texture and tone. This is a hallmark of handmade leather products. __Does the leather soften with use?__ Yes, after a few weeks of use, the leather will gradually soften and develop a richer character. However, to maintain the bag's shape and ensure its longevity, we recommend not overloading it with excessively heavy items. __Is the leather waterproof?__ Natural leather is not waterproof. However, both leather and suede can be protected with a waterproofing spray. As the spray may affect the leather's sheen, please use it sparingly. __Will the bag be damaged if it gets wet?__ Exposure to small amounts of moisture will not damage the leather. If a small amount of water is splashed on it, simply hang the bag to air dry naturally. __Will the suede fade?__ Under normal use, it will not fade, especially when protected with a waterproofing spray. However, severe water immersion can alter the colour of the suede. __Are the materials used organic?__ Yes, we use natural wool and natural leather from Bolivia. __Is Beara Beara part of the Fair Trade organization?__ Since our establishment in 2012, our philosophy and mission have been to assist residents of developing countries by encouraging employment and providing economic support, thereby improving their living standards. We have chosen not to sign up for Fair Trade certification because we believe it's unnecessary; our brand has consistently operated in this manner. Origin/Manufacturing Method Bolivia
