An innovative carrying solution
''Strap bags'' are designed to evenly distribute the weight of a bag or purse, reducing strain and enhancing everyday convenience. Ideal for hands-free use, they ensure comfort even in cold weather, as they can be worn effortlessly under thick jackets and winter coats.
Inspired by nature
The design takes inspiration from the organic shapes of sea pebbles and shells, reflecting their smooth, natural elegance. This influence gives each bag an artistic and unique touch, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
Crafted for durability
Made from dark, thick cow leather, the bags offer both resilience and sophistication. The robust material ensures longevity while maintaining a timeless, versatile style suited for daily use.
Everyday practicality with a touch of elegance
With their ergonomic design and nature-inspired aesthetics, strap bags combine practicality and elegance. Whether for a busy urban lifestyle or outdoor adventures, they offer a reliable and stylish solution for carrying essentials.
