The Loyal Workshop was founded by a young Auckland couple, to provide an opportunity for freedom for women trapped in the sex trade.

This bag has been hand made by a women from backgrounds of poverty, each with their own story of trauma and oppression: sold, stolen, trafficked and forced against their will into the sex trade. Without prospect of finding alternative employment, they were trapped. Every product we create is part of a woman’s freedom journey.

On behalf The Loyal Workshop thank you for your support.

She is compact and light-weight but still with plenty of room for the essentials. This timeless design crosses through all seasons, making her the perfect complement to any ensemble, year after year. Durability to explore the globe with you. Cute enough to take out to dinner with you. This girl is ready to join you for any adventure.

We believe in keeping it real and simple. Minimalists at heart, this is a decluttered design, with only the bare essentials. This thing is legit.

Material

LEATHER
2.2mm full veg-tanned cow leather produced using a unique eco tanning technique; resilient, sturdy and weathers with grace.

The Leather we have selected has been chosen for its strength and durability but also for its natural full grain look. The veg-tanning process allows the full character of the leather to be exposed, honestly displaying the patina accumulated over a lifetime already lived. In its second lifetime as a Loyal satchel, it will darken slightly and develop more character. This heavy stiff leather has the substance to protect your cargo and maintains its shape.

HARDWARE
Naked, polished stainless steel roller buckles & rivets; sturdy & tarnish resistant.

THREAD
Hand stitched .8mm Gauge woven polyester; super resilient, stretch proof and UV resistant.
