Why we love it
- Large enough for a standard laptop so great for work or school as well as shopping or days out
- Produced from heavyweight 3-yarn cotton, woven on a traditional handloom
- Handmade through small workshop affiliated with the Nepal Leprosy Trust, giving opportunities through work for marginalised people
The monochrome mix colour is achieved by weaving black and natural undyed yarn together resulting in an uneven texture that can disguise a bit of the rough and tumble of everyday use! Other features include a flat, stitched-in bottom panel for extra shape, black cotton lining and a useful carry handle which double as a hanging loop when not in use.
Approximately 34cm wide x 40cm deep. Straps measure approximately 110cm x 3cm. Hook handle drop is 8cm. Maximum opening width is 37cm.
Handmade by a small Nepalese workshop affiliated with the Nepal Leprosy Trust, who employ marginalised people, giving them opportunities through work. AURA QUE have worked with the team since 2006 developing new products, improving skills and providing equipment for the workshop. As a World Fair Trade Organisation certified member, the workshop give their employees a fair living wage, health care benefits and monthly contributions to their children's school fees.
The brass buckles and specialised fittings are handmade by artisans in Kathmandu who hand cut, file and polish local Nepalese brass into shape. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, of historical and enduring importance because of its hardness and workability. Brass offers superior recyclability and overall environmental advantages as it can be recycled an infinite number of times with no loss in properties or performance.
