An everyday handbag in rich velvet jacquard
This women’s everyday bag is made from Mobra, a traditional Moroccan upholstery fabric in velvet jacquard. The jacquard weave creates raised patterns directly into the fabric, while the velvet adds its characteristic soft, slightly plush feel. Together, they give the fabric depth, texture and a particularly beautiful feel.
With its rich pattern and shades of blue, yellow, ochre and black, this velvet jacquard bag has something both vintage and very contemporary about it. It works beautifully with an autumn or winter outfit, whether worn with a plain coat, jeans or a simple dress, adding a graphic or subtly ethnic touch to the look.
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 has 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, the 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. 🙂
A vintage Moroccan fabric, one-of-a-kind piece
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 design 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 bag is designed to be a true everyday handbag. 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, this bag also gives existing textiles a new life, taking them well beyond their original purpose.
