The Bergendy Bag is our take on the classic tote bag and inspired by the arched architecture in Morocco. An oval base makes it deceptively roomy while the angled opening is both ergonomically comfortable to enter and gives it a unique shape.
This limited edition bag is made with a handwoven strap from the Bagobo women, an indigenous peoples in Southern Philippines. It is made with the abaca plant (a type of banana) and dyed with natural vegetable dyes. Sourced from my Papa for the Great Women Project by The Leather Collection
It has 2 patch pockets on the outside.

Dimensions: Handmade bags can have variations on dimension, but generally
11"x5" base
9.5" short height, 16" tall height
Note: There are natural variations in textures and shades in our full grain leathers.
Our insoles are cut from a thicker vegetable tanned leather than typical shoes to help with breathability and shock absorption.
The midsole, which serves as the chassis for a shoe, is also made of a vegetable tanned soling leather sourced from the US and Spain (we never use the typical factory cardboard). The material is also ideal for bacteria and odor prevention and great shock absorption.
Between the soles is a layer of cork.
Our soles are sourced from a family run sole manufacturer in Portugal in an area reknowned as one of the shoemaking capitals in Europe. Our soles and heels are made of Italian vegetable tanned leather. The heels are stacked leather or wood, no hollow plastic core heels, and rubber slip resistance.
We manufacture in Europe so have highest standards in glue safety, toulene free.
Makers: Our shoemakers are the absolute heart of our work. Handmade to order shoes require a deep understanding of the leather as it is being stretched and formed around the mold, of patterns and materials. Read more on our small and wonderful team of craftsmen here.
