Berber Nomad Bag

We love to match our vintage with artisan pieces from around the world. These products are brand new but made by using the ancient, traditional techniques that were passed from many generations. The items we choose to sell in our shop are rare and made in small batches, by authentic ethnic groups. 

About the bag

This is a traditional Moroccan taureg bag with a flap decorated with tribal embroidery made of cactus silk. Handcrafted from the goat leather by the Nomads of the Sahara - Berber tribes. 

Tightly woven colorful leather strips make up an intricate geometric tribal Moroccan pattern on the front, leading to an excess of fringe along the bottom. Flat tote body has a foldover design with a small toggle closure and large patch pocket on the front.

Made by Berber tribes

"Berbers are the indigenous ethnic group of North Africa. They are continuously distributed from the Atlantic to the Siwa oasis in Egypt, and from the Mediterranean to the Niger River. The name Berber appeared for the first time after the end of the Roman Empire. Many Berbers call themselves some variant of the word imazighen (singular: Amazigh), possibly meaning “free people” or “free and noble men”."

Note: some handcrafted products may have some minor natural age marks on leather, this all adds to their individual character.
