BAGS
All of our bags are handmade in Berlin Germany. The process of creating such a bag takes a lot of time from sourcing the fabrics, creating the patterns, sewing and embellishing. Every single one is a totally unique piece, created out of a beautiful vintage fabric. Wether they are made of Asian woven vintage fabrics, Moroccan Kelims, European folklore Stichlings or old Barbour Jackets. Every one has a great story and an unique design.

HIP BAG CULTURE
€99.00Our bag CULTURE is part of the HERITAGE SERIES (Bag2/8)
I would like to start by talking about this unique fabric.
This fabric is not from Germany like the other fabrics I use.
It is very difficult to set an age for that kind of fabric, but it should be at least 30- 40 years old. According to the seller, this fabric should come from the border region of Vietnam and Laos. Probably they are weavings of the ethnic groups "Thổ" or the "Mường" Tribe. As I am very interested in this, my research is not finished yet.
(And I would be very grateful for any tips or hints).
