Stylish shoulder bags: durability and craftsmanship
Whether you use it in the city, the park, on the bike or the beach, with this sustainably made cotton shoulder bag orange and blue, you not only have a practical accessory but also make a statement for quality and sustainability.
Because our bags are not only stylish; they tell a story of care for nature and appreciation for the ancient weaving craft.
Eco cotton
The shoulder bag is made of cotton grown and harvested in a sustainable way.
Farmers cultivate the land on a small scale without pumping rivers and lakes dry.
The annual rainy season provides sufficient irrigation.
Nature thus provides variable harvests, making organic cotton scarce and expensive in Thailand.
Yet the result makes the effort more than worth it:
There is no environmental damage and the high-quality fabrics stand the test of time with ease.
Sustainability in every stitch
This orange and blue shoulder bag carries a piece of the earth with it.
Made of high-quality responsibly grown cotton, these bags are a conscious choice for sustainability.
The orange colour of this scarf was sourced using ancient techniques from the red fruits of the Orlean tree (Bixa orellana).
After picking, the seeds were boiled to give the cotton yarn its orange colour.
The weaver learned how to make the colour from her (grand)mother.
Before weaving, she dipped the yarn several times in this durable dye.
Thanks to this sale, the traditional craft of dyeing and weaving is preserved.

Artisanal mastery
The hands behind our shoulder bags are true artists.
If you look at the scarf in detail, you will notice the uneven thickness of the yarn.
This gives more structure and depth to the fabric.
The raw cotton, after removing the cotton seeds, was spun by hand by spinners into fine threads.
This way, no polluting machines have to be used in making the yarn either.
And it is important to us that the spinners get a fair price for their work.
Our weavers learned the old craft from their (grand)parents.
They know the secrets of spinning, dyeing, weaving and sewing.
Every stitch is thought through, every choice of colour and texture is a tribute to craftsmanship.
Fair price, fair valuation
Like our scarves and table cotton, this Shoulder Bag Orange with Blue is also made with love.
The weavers and seamstresses received a fair price for their work.
They are the heroines behind this beautiful product.
When you carry a bag like this, you also carry their story with you.
Only one copy
All our shoulder bags are different.
The colours are different and the details are unique.
Only one copy of each design exists.
When you carry one of these bags over your shoulder, you are not only carrying your belongings, but also a piece of yourself.
A unique accessory that reflects your personality.
So, next time you head into town or go shopping, don’t forget to bring your orange and blue shoulder bag.
It is not only a practical choice, but also a conscious step towards sustainability and craftsmanship.
