I was sent this exquisite bag from @clarehynesdesigns and OMG, I am actually in love. I knew I loved Claires bags, but this one is just stunning. It is made from T'nalak fabric handwoven by the T’boli people of lake Sebu, Mindanao, Philippines. What I love the most about this is that T’nalak weaving is a way of life for most of the T’boli women, handed down from generation to generation. This type of craftsmanship has given the T’boli women economic freedom and a sustainable source of income. It is £145 so not cheap, but it is handcrafted with a large brass clasp and wooden beaded strap. Plus it also comes with a long gold chain so that you can wear across the body. I'm imagining it with a floaty dress in the summer and with jeans and heeled boots during the winter. It's a thing of beauty and will last forever. Here I have teamed it with a dress from another one of my favourite sustainable brands, @aceandjig They work intimately with artisan weavers in India and you can't help but fall in love with their beautiful textiles. Swipe left for a more detailed shot of the bag.
