Fold-Over Sling Bag Leather – Tan

Our Fold-Over Sling Bag Leather - Tan made from a 100% South African Cow Leather. Our Leather buffed, coated in oil and then burned through an ironing press to achieve the effect. Once in use, the oil disperses into the hide, softening the leather from inside out.

The Fold-Over Sling Bag Leather - Tan was designed to limit theft with it's folder design. Hence a durable metal zip and antique brass snap hook to secure all your personal belongings. The interior of this Sling Bag also lined with an original South African Shweshwe fabric for strength and style. As well as another zip pocket at the back for smaller items. All NAVA Apparel bags are handmade by local South African craftswomen.

When buying one of our Bags you support our women's workshop in Cape Town. All women work for themselves and get paid per item. We operate as a fair-trade business and create more jobs in South Africa. Giving women an opportunity to empower themselves by operating their own little business within our business. Respecting each other and learning from one another. This is the future I would like to live in one day.
