Blue Handbag: Velvet Jacquard in Three Distinctive Patterns
These women’s handbags are made from Mobra fabrics, vintage Moroccan upholstery fabrics woven in velvet jacquard. The jacquard weave creates raised patterns directly into the fabric, giving it texture and depth, while the velvet adds its soft, slightly plush feel.
The result is a fabric with plenty of character: the patterns change subtly with the light, the surface feels soft to the touch and the weave gives the colours real depth. This collection brings together three fabrics in different shades of blue, each with its own personality: an ornamental medallion, a more regular graphic pattern and a generous foliage design.
Easy to wear with neutral tones, jeans, a coat or a simple dress, these blue velvet jacquard bags add a vintage, graphic touch to an autumn or winter outfit without needing much else.
Tote or structured: one bag, two ways to wear it
The softness of the fabric allows the bag to be worn in two different ways. Carried open, it takes on the relaxed shape of a soft tote bag, with more room inside. Fold the sides inwards and it becomes more compact and structured, with an almost triangular shape.
If you’re the kind of person who carries sunglasses, wallet, phone, pouch, notebook, scarf and a few things that might come in handy someday, your bag will naturally take on a more relaxed tote shape.
If you’re more of a perfectly organised bag person, with just the essentials inside, the sides will stay more neatly in place and the shape will feel more structured.
Because there are women who need to have absolutely everything in their bag… and those who know exactly where everything is. 🙂
Vintage Moroccan fabric, one-of-a-kind pieces
Each bag is made from a vintage velvet fabric sourced in Marrakech, selected for its pattern, colours and character. As these fabrics are found in very small quantities, the same pattern is rarely available in exactly the same way twice.
That’s what makes these bags one-of-a-kind pieces or very small-batch designs: the amount of fabric we find determines how many bags we can make.
The leather handles add a simple, understated finish that contrasts with the richness of the velvet jacquard. Inside, a slightly satin-finish lining and a zipped pocket keep your smaller essentials close at hand.
A handmade bag for everyday wear
With its striking fabric, this handmade Moroccan handbag is made to be worn and enjoyed every day. It can be carried over the shoulder and works just as well with a casual outfit as with something a little more dressed up.
Wear it with jeans and a white shirt for an instant graphic touch, or with a simple dress and let the bag become the statement piece. And if you’re already wearing colour… well, go for it. Mobra fabric was never really meant to blend into the background.
Handmade in Marrakech from vintage Moroccan upholstery fabrics, these bags give existing textiles a new life, taking them well beyond their original purpose.
