bay bag / fig

The Bay Bag is from Pisces, a collection I made during a really low time. I'm a typical Libra, but back then I felt much more like a Pisces. My moods were like water, flowing every which way, and some days my tears were too. I wasn't feeling inspired by much. All I wanted was to make something, so I leaned into the craft to find some calm, and I could only draw on my melancholy. I named it the Bay for its trapeze silhouette, the same shape as a bay. Even then, I made one of the two magnets on the flap bigger than the other, on purpose, to give it a little more personality. A little hint of joy. Fig is named for the fig tree in our backyard growing up, and the fresh figs that were a treat whenever it fruited. The colour itself is closer to a marinated Sicilian olive. A deeper, dirtier green than matcha. It's one of three new colours that arrived with Figura. ~ Australian bovine leather made in Queensland, Australia ~ Each hide is natural, so every batch is a little different, with the grain and texture of the animal it came from ~ Available in nine colours: Black Rock, Red Rock, Peppercorn, and our custom colours Mist Blue, Wheat, Matcha, Passata, Fig and Almond ~ Gold-tone hardware and zips ~ Magnetic flap closure, with one magnet bigger than the other ~ Two main compartments, a card pocket and a zip pocket ~ For your plus sized phone, keys, eyewear, passport, a few makeup items and a small wallet ~ Adjustable, removable crossbody strap, from 68cm to 120cm ~ Removable short top handle ~ Made in small batches, so some pieces are ready to ship and others are made to order ~ Made by hand in our Brunswick atelier and with specialist makers in Reservoir and Ballarat ~ Comes packaged with love in an organic cotton dust bag made by the women at SisterWorks Size: W30cm x H16cm x D7cm
