THE BOHO

Discover the Boho Bag, our bestselling new launch. Inspired by the classic slouching shape typical of the hobo style, it has been designed with real life in mind. Made from rescued leather and fire-hose, it is the perfect crossbody bag, compact but with room for all your essentials; stylish, durable, and surprisingly spacious. 

Let your bag do the talking.
