Tropical Jaguar • The Ikat Bamboo Tote
Step into a story woven through time.
Crafted using silk velvet ikat, handwoven in Uzbekistan on traditional looms, each piece reveals the softly blurred patterns created through a centuries-old thread-dyeing technique.
Defined by its structured silhouette and natural bamboo handles, this medium tote balances artisanal character with everyday elegance, offering a versatile size that feels both polished and practical.
Thoughtfully assembled in Turkey by skilled artisan ateliers, the bag is wrapped in handwoven ikat, while the bamboo handles bring a sculptural, organic contrast to the richness of the textile.
Designed for versatility, this model includes a detachable shoulder strap crafted in matching ikat textile and reinforced with leather. The underside of the strap is finished in leather for added comfort, durability, and ease of wear.
The interior mirrors the functionality of our Grand Tote, featuring two open pockets finished with matching ikat trim, along with a secure zippered compartment detailed with metal hardware.
No two pieces are exactly alike — each one is uniquely shaped by the handmade process.
