Description:

Shoulder bag and backpack in one, made of rugged eco-leather

The Cloe is what you call a bag with two faces. You can use it as a trendy shoulder bag with an overhanging flap. But with a simple movement you turn it into a handy backpack. So you have two beautiful bags in one.

The bag is made from strong cowhide that has been vegetable tanned. The leather is oiled, giving it a rough, vintage look.

Highlights
● Material: robust matt vegetable tanned and oiled cowhide
● Dimensions: 32 x 25/42 x 9 cm
● Adjustable shoulder strap (max 170 cm).
● Fully lined with cotton fabric, including zip pocket and 2 pockets.
● Zip pocket on the outside.
● Weight: approx. 650 grams
● Produced in fair trade in India
● Available in honey brown, dark taupe and matt brown vintage


From shoulder bag to backpack

Using the bronze rings, you can change the Cleo from a shoulder bag to a handy backpack in two ways. You can see this in the photos.

To make a backpack in the shape of the shoulder bag - so with the flap down - you first put the shoulder strap through the large ring at the top and attach the musketon hooks of the shoulder strap to the small D-rings at the bottom of the bag.

If you want an elongated backpack, put the shoulder strap through the square ring on the flap and then through the small D rings on the sides of the bag. You can use either the top or bottom rings. Just try what is most comfortable for you.


Three inner pockets

The Cleo is fully lined with a light khaki fabric, so you can easily see what's inside. Inside you will find an inner pocket with zip and two pockets.

The bag closes at the top with a strong bronze-coloured metal zip. The zip is double-sided, so you can open and close the bag from both sides. There is also a spacious zip pocket on the outside.


Vegetable tanned leather

This bag is made from high-quality cowhide that has been tanned mainly with vegetable substances. It is then treated with oil, which gives the leather a natural and rough vintage look. This way, it retains its natural character and will acquire a beautiful patina over time.

Due to the high fat content, the eco-leather may shed slightly at first. However, this is purely vegetable and will completely disappear with a normal wash.

Fairly produced in India

The bags and accessories are produced in a controlled and certified Fair Trade company in India. This means, among other things, that there is no child labour and no social exploitation of employees and that the employees receive a fair wage. The company is a member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO).
