Sling Bag Leather – Tan

Our Sling Bag Leather - Tan made from a 100% South African Cow Leather. This leather range is 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 the inside out. This creates a 2 tone distress appearance with a soft velvet touch.

The interior of our Sling Bag also lined with original South African Shweshwe fabric for strength and style. This Sling Bag Leather - Tan also has an adjustable shoulder strap with brass buckle. Detachable brass snap hooks and durable metal zip slider. All NAVA Apparel bags are handmade by local South African craftswomen.

When buying one of our Bags you are supporting 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.
