Fulfilled by our friends at Handicraft Soul
This "vegan leather" crossbody messenger bag is one of a kind. Handmade in South Africa from car and truck tire inner tubes, this bag looks like leather, but is actually made from recycled materials. It is very durable and eco-friendly, too!
The bag features a flap closure with a magnet fastener, a front pocket, and an adjustable crossbody strap. The inner lining is made from shwe shwe fabric and there is one inner zip pocket. The strap is also lined with matching shwe shwe fabric.
Size:
Since each bag is 100% handmade, they're all slightly different in size. This style is approximately 11" tall x 11" wide.
Each purse is made with love and is completely unique! Check out our bio on Nick & Nichol's to learn more about the artisans who made this product.
