# Handwoven Genuine Leather Tote Bag – Triple-Jump Bamboo Weave | Two Sizes, Leather Base, Zip Closure, 5 Colourways

## **Hand-Woven Genuine Leather. Every Strip. Every Stitch.**

This is a large handwoven leather tote built from genuine leather strips woven together in a traditional triple-jump bamboo pattern — a technique where each strip crosses over and under three adjacent strips simultaneously, producing the dense, diagonal lattice surface visible across the entire body of the bag. The result is a tote that is structurally self-supporting, visually striking, and immediately recognisable as something made by hand rather than manufactured. Available in two sizes and five colourways, with a leather base panel, protective metal studs, and a fabric-lined interior with full-length zip closure.

Five colourways: Tan, Coffee, Black, Blue and Brown, and Brown Mixed — each in the same triple-jump bamboo weave with contrasting multi-strand braided leather handles and a matching smooth leather base.

### ► Key Features

-   **Genuine Leather Strips, Hand-Woven Triple-Jump Bamboo Pattern:** Each strip of genuine leather is woven individually in the triple-jump bamboo style — a traditional weaving technique where each strip crosses three adjacent strips at once, creating the distinctive dense diagonal lattice that covers the full body and sides of the bag. This is not a printed or embossed texture — the weave is the structure, and every intersection is a genuine leather crossing. The technique requires significantly more time and skill than standard intrecciato weaving, which is what produces the bag's exceptional density and visual depth.
-   **Two Sizes:** Large (W 49cm × H 30cm × D 13cm) is the serious carry-all — it fits an iPad, a camera, sunglasses, cosmetics, a long wallet, phone, and more simultaneously. Small (W 42cm × H 25cm) is proportionally the same silhouette in a more compact, lighter-carry format. Both use the same weave construction and hardware.
-   **Smooth Leather Base Panel with Protective Metal Studs:** The base of the bag is finished with a full smooth leather panel in a contrasting tan tone — providing a clean, structured base that defines the bag's width and protects the woven body from the floor. Four electroplated metal studs are set into the base corners, lifting the bag off hard surfaces to protect the leather from wear and keeping the base clean. The hardware is anti-oxidation treated and wear-resistant.
-   **Multi-Strand Braided Leather Handles:** The handles are braided from multiple leather strands in contrasting colours — a construction detail that is both visually distinctive and structurally stronger than a single-strip handle. The braid distributes carry weight across multiple strands rather than concentrating it, which reduces handle stretch and extends the bag's working life.
-   **Full-Length Zip Closure:** A smooth zip closure runs the full length of the top opening, securing the bag's contents completely. The zip sits within the woven top edge and does not interrupt the clean profile of the bag when closed.
-   **Fabric-Lined Interior:** The interior is lined in a warm tan fabric lining — smooth, structured, and easy to wipe clean. The lining protects contents from the woven leather surface and provides a clean backdrop that makes finding items in the bag straightforward.
-   **Large Capacity Interior:** The main compartment is wide and deep, designed to carry the full range of daily essentials without over-organisation. A camera body, iPad, sunglasses, cosmetics, wallet, phone, jewellery, sunscreen, and more sit comfortably inside the large size simultaneously.
-   **Antique Brass-Tone Hardware:** The zip pull and base studs are finished in warm antique brass — consistent with the warm, artisanal character of the woven leather body and complementary to all five colourways.
-   **Five Colourways:** Tan, Coffee, Black, Blue and Brown, and Brown Mixed — each pairing contrasting leather strip colours in the weave for a distinctive multi-tone finish that changes appearance depending on the angle of light and wear.

### ► What Is the Triple-Jump Bamboo Weave?

The triple-jump bamboo weave is a traditional leather-weaving technique that takes its name from the visual rhythm of the pattern — each leather strip "jumps" over three adjacent strips before locking under the next, producing a bold diagonal lattice that is denser and more structurally complex than a standard over-under weave.

-   **Structural density:** The three-strip crossing interval means each strip is locked by more intersections per unit of surface area than a standard weave. This produces a stiffer, more self-supporting structure — the bag holds its shape from the weave itself, without requiring an internal frame or base board.
-   **Visual depth:** The triple crossing produces a surface with a pronounced diagonal rhythm and a three-dimensional quality — the strips create visible ridges and shadow lines across the body of the bag that change depending on the angle of light. This visual character is one of the reasons the bamboo-style weave is associated with artisan leather goods.
-   **Colour interplay:** Because the strips in this bag use two or three contrasting colours, the triple-jump pattern creates a natural colour mixing effect across the surface — the dominant colour shifts depending on which crossing direction is most visible. In the Brown Mixed and Blue and Brown colourways, this effect is particularly pronounced.
-   **Time-intensive construction:** Weaving a large tote in the triple-jump style requires significantly more time than standard weaving or panel construction — each strip must be individually threaded and tensioned to maintain even spacing and density across the full surface. This is a bag where the construction time is visible in the finished piece.

### ► Style Notes

> _"The bamboo-weave leather tote is one of those bags that people ask about — the weave is detailed enough to be immediately interesting up close, and bold enough to read as a statement piece from a distance. In the multi-tone colourways, it carries the visual character of a handcrafted artisan object without trying to look like anything other than what it is: a woven leather bag, made by hand, built to be used."_

Tan is the most classic option — a warm honey-brown that pairs naturally with cream, white, denim, and earth tones, and works across seasons. Coffee is deeper and richer, sitting closer to dark amber, and reads as more polished in professional contexts while remaining relaxed enough for casual carry. Black provides the highest contrast in the weave pattern, making the triple-jump lattice most visually distinct. Blue and Brown is the most distinctive of the five — the cool-warm contrast creates a visual movement across the surface that is unique to this colourway. Brown Mixed sits between tan and coffee, with a warm multi-tonal character that softens across the weave.

This bag works as a beach bag, a market tote, a weekend carry, a work bag for days when you need more than a structured briefcase can offer, or a travel day bag that is both practical and visually memorable.

### ► Care Instructions

-   Wipe the woven surface gently with a soft dry cloth after use to remove surface dust. For dust caught between the weave strands, a soft brush (such as a clean paintbrush) works effectively without pulling at the leather.
-   Apply a leather conditioner to the woven surface every few months to keep the leather strips supple and prevent drying or cracking at the cross-over points.
-   Blot moisture immediately if the bag gets wet — the woven structure retains moisture between strands. Allow to air dry naturally, ideally stuffed lightly to maintain shape, away from direct heat.
-   The smooth leather base panel can be conditioned separately with the same leather conditioner.
-   Store in a dust bag when not in use. The structured base will maintain the bag's shape during storage without needing to be stuffed.
-   Avoid dragging the woven surface across rough or abrasive surfaces, which can snag individual leather strips.
