JOJO Brown Cowhide Zippered Small Leather Goods / Card Holder

‘Beara Beara’ creates bags for those who we have not yet met. But we sit and imagine who you may be. What secrets you have, what makes you smile, what makes you sigh. We sit at our messy desks and rummage through materials and shapes and patterns. We play. We play with our ideas. What will make your life a little brighter? We ignore the chaos in the street, the technology, the worries of life. We create something new. Every month we go home with our wages to give to our landlords and government and banks but still feel quite content. We like making strangers smile. We design bags for people we haven't met yet. We sit and imagine who you might be, what secrets you might hold; contemplating what brings you a smile and what brings you a sigh. We sit at our cluttered desks, freely exploring various materials and raw components. What could add a splash of colour to your life? This is the question we seek to answer. Disregarding the hustle of busy streets, rigid regulations, and life's troubles, Beara Beara crafts exquisite and unique bags, simply hoping to see you smile. **Supply** In our minds we are Julio and Maria and Cesar and Natalia who also sit at their desks in Bolivia and twist and shape pieces of leather into something that has never been seen before. Our connection with our suppliers is one of the most special aspects about Beara Beara. A collaboration, which exists on mutual admiration, respect, understanding and general positivity. Improve people’s lives through trade and not aid, is one of the principles on which the business is built, yet none of us imagined it would become so much fun. Beara Beara's special and harmonious collaboration with manufacturers in Bolivia is built on mutual admiration, understanding, and respect. Encouraging employment for local residents and improving their quality of life have always been our goals. **Quality** As a young business we have been quite hideous to work with; a spoilt child wanting everything and wanting it right now. Over demanding in production schedules, uncompromising in material quality, relentless in the pursuit of our exact designs, pedantic in finding faults. Hats off to our suppliers for putting up with us in our infancy but now that we are a tad more mature we have been justified by the fact that our customers appreciate our continued pursuit of quality and perfection. Naturally dyed hand-picked hides. One-of-a-kind cloths displaying history in a modern style. Soft linings and strong hardware. Our aim is always to create a quality product that will reward our customer’s trust in us. Beara Beara is a very young and emerging brand. In this competitive fashion industry, we are dedicated to adhering to high-quality materials and original designs, and we are gradually growing stronger. Natural dyes, unique patterned fabrics, cotton linings, and sturdy leather structures have become synonymous with Beara Beara. To ensure that you, our customers, feel our dedication and appreciate your trust, we will never compromise on our commitment to quality. **Overview** Handcrafted from 100% natural leather, the Jojo features a zip closure for securely storing your small essentials.

All Beara Beara bags are made from unprocessed cowhide, which features natural variations in texture, a hallmark of handcrafted leather goods. __Does the leather soften with use?__ Yes, after a few weeks of use, the leather will gradually soften and develop a richer character. However, to maintain the bag's shape and ensure longevity, we recommend not overloading it with heavy items. __Is the leather waterproof?__ Natural leather is not waterproof. However, both leather and suede can be protected with a waterproofing spray. As the spray may affect the leather's sheen, please use it sparingly. __Will the bag be damaged if it gets wet?__ Minor exposure to moisture will not damage the leather. If the bag accidentally gets slightly wet, we recommend hanging it to air dry naturally. __Will the suede fade?__ Under normal use, it will not fade, especially when protected with a waterproofing spray. However, severe soaking can alter the colour of the suede. __Are the materials organic?__ Yes, we use natural wool and natural leather sourced from Bolivia. __Is Beara Beara part of the Fair Trade organization?__ Since our establishment in 2012, our philosophy and mission have always been to assist residents of developing countries by encouraging employment and providing economic support to improve their living standards. We have chosen not to sign with a Fair Trade organization because we believe external accreditation is unnecessary, as our brand has consistently upheld these principles.
