The Konso Barrel Bag
A sculptural statement with a soft edge. The Konso is our handwoven barrel bag — bold in silhouette, surprisingly easy to wear.
Handcrafted by Ethiopian artisans, it blends upcycled leather with our signature handwoven checker weave, giving each piece a distinct depth, movement, and artisanal character.
Designed for real life, its curved shape creates a surprisingly spacious interior, while the adjustable shoulder strap offers comfort and versatility for everyday wear. Whether tucked under the arm or carried on the shoulder, the Konso moves with you — refined, grounded, and quietly bold.
This is the kind of piece people ask about. Not loud. Just unmistakable.
From artisan hands to yours.
