Reed Satchel Bag - 25cm - Green & Blue

Entirely handcrafted in Portugal, this rush bag is a testament to demanding artisanal expertise, passed down with precision. Each piece is hand-braided, assembled, and finished, then protected by a subtle varnish that enhances its durability while preserving the natural beauty of the material.

Its design has been conceived for real and versatile use: a round handle for carrying by hand, a removable shoulder strap for more freedom. The magnetic closure, hidden under an elegant leather buckle, secures your personal belongings while maintaining a sleek line. The protective studs ensure stability and durability, even when placed on the ground.

Each bag reveals subtle variations in the weaving and shade of the rush. These irregularities are not flaws but the signature of authentic craftsmanship, making each piece unique.

These bags are made by the old artisans of the village of Castanheira Alcobaça, brought together by Nuno Barreiro, a son of the village. A beautiful, authentic story!

Rush grows wild in the region, no fertilizer, no pesticides, it just takes a little effort to harvest it.

Calibration, drying, everything is manual and local: no transport, no chemicals, no machines...

Weaving: At this stage too, everything is local. The village artisans share a workshop and take turns fulfilling orders.

Assembly, finishing, and quality control: no bag leaves the workshop without the elders having inspected it thoroughly.
