ALEX MINI Vintage Cowhide Round Barrel Crossbody Bag - Mini - Black

‘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 the people we haven't yet met. We sit and imagine who you might be, what secrets you hold, what brings you a smile, what makes you sigh. Sitting at our cluttered desks, we sift through various materials and designs. What can add colour to your life? That's the question we seek to answer. Ignoring the clamour of busy streets, rigid rules, and life's troubles, Beara Beara crafts exquisite and unique bags, hoping to bring a smile to your face. **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 local employment and improving living standards has always been our committed goal. **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, nascent brand. In the competitive fashion industry, we are dedicated to upholding high-quality materials and original designs, gradually growing stronger. Naturally dyed fabrics, unique patterned textiles, pure cotton linings, and robust leather structures have become synonymous with Beara Beara. To ensure that those who purchase Beara Beara feel this dedication and to thank you for your trust, our commitment to quality will never waver. **Overview 總覽** The Alex bag, one of our most popular products, now features a mini version crafted from matte black and brown natural leather.

Beara Beara bags are made entirely from unprocessed cowhide, which will feature natural textures with varying degrees of depth, a hallmark of handmade cowhide products. __Will 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 sprays may affect the leather's sheen, please use them sparingly. __Will the bag be damaged if it gets wet?__ Minor exposure to water will not damage the leather. If a small amount of water is splashed onto the bag, simply hang it up to air dry naturally. __Will the suede fade?__ Under normal use, it will not, especially with protection from waterproofing spray. However, severe submersion in water can alter the colour of the suede. __Are the materials used organic?__ Yes, we use natural wool and natural leather sourced from Bolivia. __Is Beara Beara affiliated with the Fair Trade organization?__ Since our establishment in 2012, our philosophy and original intention have always been to assist residents of developing countries, encourage their employment, provide economic assistance, and improve their living standards. We have chosen not to sign up with the Fair Trade organization because we believe that such a formal accreditation is unnecessary, as our brand has consistently embodied these principles.
