KINGSLEY Cowhide Casual Crossbody Waist Bag 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 people we haven't met yet. We sit and imagine who you might be, what secrets you might hold; thinking about what makes you smile and what makes you sigh. We sit at our cluttered desks, freely exploring various materials and textures. What will add a splash of color to your life? That's the answer we seek. We disregard the noise of bustling streets, rigid rules, and life's troubles. Beara Beara creates exquisite and unique bags, simply 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 the living standards of the local community 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 nascent brand. In this competitive fashion industry, we are committed to adhering to high-quality materials and original designs, and we are gradually growing stronger. Natural dyed fabrics, unique patterned textiles, pure cotton linings, and sturdy leather structures have become synonymous with Beara Beara. To make you, our customers, feel this dedication and to thank you for your trust, our commitment to quality will never waver. **Overview** Kingsley is another stylish piece from Beara Beara, redefining how we wear short-strap crossbody bags – it’s both vintage and chic.

Beara Beara bags are made entirely from unprocessed cowhide, which will have natural variations in texture and color depth. This is a distinctive feature of handmade leather products. __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 its 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 water will not damage the leather. If a small amount of water is accidentally splashed on it, we recommend hanging the bag to air dry naturally. __Will the suede fade?__ Under normal use, it will not fade, especially with the protection of a waterproofing spray. However, severe water immersion can alter the color of the suede. __Are the materials used organic?__ Yes, we use natural wool and natural leather from Bolivia. __Is Beara Beara part of the Fair Trade organization?__ Since our establishment in 2012, our philosophy and original intention have always been to help residents of developing countries, encourage their employment, provide economic assistance, and improve their living standards. We choose not to sign up for Fair Trade certification because we believe it's unnecessary, as our brand has always been actively doing just that. Origin/Manufacturing Method Bolivia
