I've long been a fan of the backpack, or mini backpacks to be precise. I have a gorgeous little oval tan one that I take everywhere with me. They are so practical, despite their small size they can fit so much in them and normally they have zip pockets too. I was browsing the web the other day, looking for a new backpack to add to my growing collection when I stumbled upon this great brand,
Beara Beara.
Handcrafted from high-quality durable leather and vintage Andean cloth in Bolivia, each bag is a distinct and unique reflection on the skills passed through generations within this rich culture. Here's a selection of the backpacks they create:
The Santa Cruz Backpack comes in a range of natural leather colours including black, tan, red and brown. They also come in this embossed version.
The Mochata Backpack is also available in a mini version called Mochita, which has one front pocket instead of two. These come in a series of suede brights including dark green, purple, red, mustard and aqua green.
The Bamba and the Stefano backpacks are built with durability in mind, constructed with a rigid leather. The Bamba is available in black, dark green and red.
If backpacks aren't your cup of tea, why not try one of the other bag types Beara Beara has to offer, from satchels to handbags:
Great for casual daywear or adding a splash of navajo chic to your work outfit, these satchels available in regular and small sizes stand out from the crowd of satchels being produced since The Cambridge Satchel Company craze.
These cute clutches not only look great with their woven cloth outer but are practical too with the addition of handy mobile phone size pockets.
Add a pop of colour with these vibrant suede handbags. The shoulder strap is perfect for throwing over your arm and stepping out on your daily journeys of discovery!
Their bags have an amazing story too; the founder of the company Jake Bullough, having journeyed to Bolivia as a travel writer, met a family who produced leather bags in a small shop in the back streets of the city. Recognising the exceptional craftsmanship, Bullough began to collaborate with the family, turning his designs into reality. Ethically minded, Bullough's intention has been to help the family, and other struggling Bolivian families, by providing them with a substantial amount of work to improve their financial means and standard of living.
