JAQUELINE Vintage Cowhide Hardware Backpack - Brown

**Design** ‘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 craft bags for the unseen. Sitting quietly, we envision the roles you play, the secrets you hold; pondering what might bring you a knowing smile, or a gentle sigh. At our cluttered desks, we freely explore diverse materials and forms. What could add a touch of radiance to your life? This is the question we seek to answer. We deliberately tune out the clamor of busy streets, the constraints of convention, and the burdens of life. Beara Beara brings forth exquisite and unique bags, simply hoping to see your bright smiles. **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 shares a special and harmonious relationship with our manufacturers in Bolivia, built upon mutual admiration, understanding, and respect. Empowering local communities by creating employment opportunities and enhancing local living standards has always been a goal we strive to achieve. **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 this fiercely competitive fashion industry, we are dedicated to upholding high-quality materials and original designs, and we are gradually growing stronger. Naturally dyed fabrics, uniquely patterned textiles, pure cotton linings, and robust leather structures have become synonymous with Beara Beara. To ensure that those who purchase a Beara Beara bag can feel this dedication and to thank you for your trust, our commitment to quality will never waver. **Overview 總覽** The JAQULINE vintage leather doctor bag is handcrafted from sturdy cowhide.

All Beara Beara bags are made from unprocessed cowhide, which will feature natural textures with varying depths of color. This is a key characteristic of handmade leather 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 its longevity, we recommend not overloading it with excessively 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?__ Brief exposure to small amounts of water will not damage the leather. If the bag accidentally gets splashed with a little water, we recommend hanging it to air dry naturally. __Will the suede fade?__ Under normal use, it will not fade, especially when protected with waterproofing spray. However, severe saturation with water can alter the color of the suede. __Are the materials used organic?__ Yes, we use natural wool and natural leather sourced from Bolivia. __Is Beara Beara part of the Fair Trade organization?__ Since our inception in 2012, our philosophy and founding principle has been to assist residents of developing countries by encouraging employment and providing economic aid, thereby improving their standard of living. We have chosen not to sign with the Fair Trade organization because we believe such formal recognition is unnecessary, as our brand has consistently operated in alignment with these principles.
