01 — The idea

Texture instead of decoration

There is no print on this bag, no plate, no chain and no contrast trim. Everything interesting about it is built into the surface — an open weave knotted across the whole lower body, in exactly the same colour as the smooth panel above it.

02 — Design

Knotted, not printed

The lower body is a real openwork weave: narrow strips knotted into a lattice that lets the light through, wrapping the front, the sides and the back without a break. It is the kind of surface that photographs flat and looks completely different in the hand.

Above it sits a smooth band in the same deep claret, with a short flat handle set into the top and a gold zip running the length of the opening.

The handle drop is only 3 cm. It is a lift-and-carry handle for picking the bag up off a table, not a way to carry it for an evening — that is what the strap is for.

03 — Carry

Crossbody, or in the hand

The strap detaches completely and adjusts between 49 and 56 cm of drop, which is crossbody on most people. With it off, the bag is a flat clutch with a small handle on the top — which is exactly how a 25 cm wide, 6.5 cm deep shape is meant to be carried in the evening.

  • Detachable, adjustable strap — 49 to 56 cm drop
  • Zip closure along the top
  • One interior slit pocket
  • Fits an iPhone 15 Pro and anything smaller

04 — Versatility

Deep claret is an evening colour that works in daylight.

It is dark enough to read as brown from across a room and red enough to be a decision up close. Worn with black it warms the whole outfit; worn with cream or camel it does the same job a bag in burgundy leather has always done.

05 — In the hand

One colourway

This listing is the deep claret with gold fittings. The weave, the smooth band and the hardware are the same throughout — there is nothing to select.

06 — The value

Why this makes sense

An openwork body cannot be cut from a panel. Every strip is knotted into the next one, the lattice has to stay even across the front and around the corners, and the ends have to be secured where the weave meets the smooth band or the whole thing unpicks itself. That is hours of hand work on a small bag, and it is the reason most bags imitate this with a printed or embossed surface instead.

The zip is the other piece of work: fitting one along a top band that sits above a flexible body means the opening has to stay rigid while the rest of the bag moves.

  • Sold direct — no boutique markup

08 — Questions

Before you order

Can you see through the weave?

The lattice is genuinely open, so light passes through it. The maker does not state a lining material for this bag, so we cannot promise the contents are fully hidden — assume small pale items may show against the dark weave.

Can it be carried by the handle?

Only briefly. The handle drop is 3 cm, which is enough to lift the bag from a table but not enough to clear a hand comfortably. The 49 to 56 cm strap is the way this bag is meant to be worn.

Is this real leather?

No. The maker lists vegan leather as the material — a synthetic used in place of animal hide. No lining material is given.

How much does it hold?

A phone, a card holder, keys and a lipstick. At 6.5 cm deep it is an evening and light-day bag, and the maker states it fits an iPhone 15 Pro and anything smaller.

Limited stock

Hand-knotted bags are slow

Every strip in the lattice is placed by hand, so runs are short and a colour that sells through is not quickly replaced.

Add it to your bag while it is here. If it is not right, send it back — the only thing you risk is missing it.
