We have distinct memories of arriving on Fiji’s coral coast with our little ones in tow and watching these beautiful local women weaving baskets on the beach. Their broad smiles beckoned the children to watch and even participate in this cultural and ancient craftsmanship. Sanasana is the very region where we find ourselves going back to over and over again, aware of how lucky we are to have met some of the wonderful people who grew up, work and live on this part of the island. Villages are interspersed amongst luxurious resorts, the colour of the water matches the jewels in the gift shop, and the friendly banter and compassionate care from Fijians is what creates a loyalty amongst frequent travellers.

The Sanasana handbag is a new addition to this collection, a nod to the woven goods that remind us of some of our favourite family holidays. Made with our soft and rich full grain leather, the attached curved handles are a beautiful and luxurious addition to this design, and the internal pockets create organisational opportunities, even in a small space. This petite handbag is an essential for any island hopping you might do or backyard browsing in one of the many roadside stalls that dot the landscape of this beautiful tropical nation. Featuring our BRAND NEW "W" cotton lining.

All our products are made with the best quality full grain leather. This is a natural product meaning each piece is beautifully unique. No piece will be exactly the same as another and some may have natural markings and character that should not be considered a fault.

Our leather is the best quality full grain cow hide and is sourced from Australia and Europe. It is is custom tanned to our specifications using Italian techniques and products.

Our bags are designed by us in Sydney, Australia and shipped from our warehouse and flagship store in Sutherland in the south of Sydney. Read our story

Our leather is tanned and our bags manufactured in a family run factory in Pakistan. They are very proud of their skill with leather which has been passed down through generations!

Notes on colour variants. 

  • Our Azzurra full grain leather is a multi-dimensional blue/green colour. The depths and hues of the blue/green colour on your bag will depend on which parts of the hide are used to create the panels that will be used to craft your bag - meaning every bag is unique. Our Azzurra Colour represents the multi-dimensional blue and green shades of the sea, particularly in the Amalfi Coast areas of Capri and Ischia in Italy...forever our muse.
  • Our Grigio Alpino full grain leather is a light grey colour. Grigio Alpino translates to “Alpine Grey”, and the colour reflects this name. It is a very light shade of grey and although it will reflect slight variations in different lighting conditions, the colour will not reflect that of white or cream.

We have endeavoured to provide web images of our leather products that closely match their actual colours but due to the differing colour settings of computer, phone and tablet displays, we cannot guarantee that the colour you see on your screen will exactly match what you receive.

Our bags are crafted with full grain leather (the best quality and strongest type of leather) and in their most natural state it is best to protect the leather using one of the many leather care products on the market. We like leather conditioner as it protects and conditions the leather. We have found creams and leather rubs work much better on our leather, rather than sprays. More about leather care.

You may find that good old fashioned warm water on a damp cloth and a gentle rub will get rid of any marks!And be sure to let it air dry! There are also some great leather cleaning products you can purchase and we have had some success cleaning off marks with an “authentic art eraser”. Pressing the art eraser over and over onto the marks sometimes removes them completely!
