Fringe Bag With Mandela Embroidery

A soft cotton and jute sling bag with fringe, circular embroidery and a natural, easy-going feel. It has the relaxed character of a market-day bag, made for carrying light essentials cross-body while the textured front does the quiet styling for you.

Fringe, embroidery and natural texture

• The embroidered front gives the bag a centred, decorative focus without feeling busy.
• Brushed cotton fringe adds movement as you walk, softening the simple sling shape.
• The natural-look textile suits linen, denim, loose knits and festival layers.
• Its slim form is made for light carrying, not for heavy books or a laptop.
• The leather-effect strap brings a cleaner contrast to the softer cotton and jute body.

Cotton, jute and a lined interior

The bag is made from cotton, jute and PVC, with a cotton lining inside. The strap has a leather-effect finish, while the fringe keeps the look relaxed and tactile.

How to carry it

Wear it cross-body for hands-free days, or over one shoulder when you only need the small things close. It suits a walk, a market visit, a summer gathering, or travel days when you want a light second bag.

Care for the textile and fringe

For printed or embroidered cotton-blend textiles, gentle care is best. Wash lightly in cool water with mild detergent, avoid wringing, and let it dry flat or in shade. If ironing is needed, iron the textile from the reverse on a moderate setting.

Made in Bali

This piece is ethically traded and made in Bali by a family business. Bali has a long relationship with small-scale textile, craft and market culture, where practical objects often carry decorative detail as part of everyday dress. Here, the fringe and centred embroidery give a simple sling bag a slower, more personal feeling, something closer to a favourite holiday find than a plain utility pouch.

Size and details

Measures 24 cm high by 20 cm long. The strap measures 112 cm, and the bag weighs 94 g. Materials: cotton, jute and PVC.

A thoughtful textile gift

A lovely choice for someone who likes natural textures, small cross-body bags and relaxed styling. It feels especially suited to birthdays, travel gifts, festival packing, or a small present for a bag lover.
