The bag. What if this age-old transportation device was individually hand-crafted to order, using hand-dyed and hand-woven organic fabrics? Then it becomes something more than just a bag. It is a musing upon an ancient time, when people transported precious stones and scripts, and not just their iPhones. The beautiful first run of WORTHIS bags extend to two versions of the duffle – a low-slung duffle tote, and a roomy duffle backpack – in three natural ikat colourways.
The Ikat fabric has been sourced from India, where a standard run can take 6-12 months to complete: the cotton must be harvested by hand then hand spun into thread. The thread is wound and measured, wrapped over an open wooden frame then each thread is individually dyed according to the designed pattern. The threads are then individually set up on the loom and woven. With a bag like this, it doesn’t matter what you’re toting around, your mode of toting is truly unique.
