Leather Bag Kamalamai

The bags are manufactured at a leather workshop in Kathmandu, by the leather artisan Chakdor. Bente, the designer behind the bags, has a long and close relationship with Nepal, ensuring that the bags are ethically made and of the highest quality.

The buffalo holds significant importance in Nepal, both as a working animal and as a source of nutrients. They utilize all parts of the animal to meet various needs in the community.

Work: The buffalo is used in agriculture as a draft animal for plowing and tilling the soil, as well as in transportation to carry goods.

Nutrition: The milk from the buffalo is a significant source of nutrition, and the meat is used in many traditional dishes.

Leather Production: The hide from the buffalo is used in the production of leather goods, contributing to the local leather industry.

Fertilizer: The dung of the animal is used as natural fertilizer for agriculture, and this is crucial for maintaining soil fertility.

Keep it Dry:

If your leather gets wet, gently blot away excess moisture and let it air dry. Avoid heat sources, be patient, and stuff the inside with newspaper to help maintain its shape.

Give it condition:

When your leather feels too dry, massage in a quality leather conditioner. Use a clean cloth to wipe away excess, keeping it supple and well-nourished.

Stay Clean:

Handle your leather with clean hands to avoid transferring oils and residues. Regularly sweep it with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. A deeper clean a couple of times a year, using a leather cleaner in circular motions, keeps it looking sharp.

Proper Resting Place:

When not in use, store your leather treasures away from heat, humidity, and sunlight. A fabric bag or box is perfect—no plastic! Air them out regularly to avoid any unwanted surprises.

By giving your leather these thoughtful touches, it becomes more beautiful and tells the stories of its adventures—and yours.
