Shoulder Bag, Wool with Leather, Navy

Handmade in a small workshop in Italy, the messenger bag impresses with its combination of strikingly embossed leather and sustainable REWOOLY felt. The origin of the messenger bag lies in the Wild West, where couriers like William Cody (Buffalo Bill) distributed documents for miles around the country by horseback in large leather bags. Later, it was mainly bicycle couriers who used these bags to transport parcels or letters. The special feature of this bag is its upper material. REWOOLY is made from recycled wool garments (50 %), virgin wool (20 %) and, for optimised durability, 30 % polyester. The production of 1 kg of REWOOLY felt saves around 540 litres of water compared to conventional felt. After the process of shredding the used wool, the fibres of the garments are sorted once again according to colour and type, so that the piles end up with the same appearance as freshly shorn wool. This valuable step means that the subsequent dyeing process can be avoided, which guarantees an even lower environmental impact.The sporty bag offers plenty of storage space and can be carried comfortably with the wide shoulder strap. The carrying strap is detachable and individually adjustable in length for an optimal fit. The spacious main compartment has a durable cotton lining. On the inside it features two smaller compartments and two zipped compartments for everyday essentials. Small brass rivets on the bottom protect the bag from dirt and damage when put down.
Highly suitable for everyday use, the shoulder bag is the ideal companion for work, leisure and travel. The messenger bag impresses with a combination of Italian charm and functionality. The attention to detail, the craftsmanship and the use of sustainable materials make the bag a real must-have.
