Friends of Ava know she's the one you call for anything - whether celebrating life's biggest moments or trying to navigate its hardest. She's always there with her contagious laugh, a smile that lights up every room, and an unwavering willingness to show up for you.
Ava is effortlessly multifaceted. One day she's running 100 miles (literally), the next partying all weekend long, and in between relentlessly showing up for all the women in her life. Absolutely beautiful, indefinitely capable and endlessly dependable, she's the kind of woman everyone is lucky to have in their corner.
She doesn't seek recognition for it; she simply shows up, every single time. That's what makes Ava unforgettable.
Ava is the bag that wants to come along for the journey and do everything you do. A large cowhide tote, with internal pockets (zipped and open) she carries your laptop, your lunch, your gym fit, and the bottle of wine you pick up on your way home - all with class. Structure where you need it, softness where you don't. She goes from desk to dinner without missing a beat.
Designed for the woman who never stops and looks incredible doing so.
No two Avas are identical.
Your hide, your markings, your bag.

The Clara details
Materials
Exterior: Cowhide leather
Sourced from Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Cowhide is a natural byproduct of the meat and dairy industry. Each hide retains its own unique natural markings, colour variation and texture, meaning no two bags are identical. Cowhide is a durable, long-wearing natural material that maintains its quality over time.
Lining: Suede
All friends of bags are lined with synthetic suede.
Hardware: Zips & Studs
YKK zips are used throughout. Stainless steel studs.
Specifications
Magnetic snap closure
Fixed strap | Drop 28cm
Internal zip pocket | 20cm
Internal open pockets | 2 x 12cm
Measures | 28cm H x 45cm W x 15cm D
Structured base sewn-in for shape retention
Care
Everyday care
Always clean with the lay of the hair - never against it, this can cause the hair to lift and fall out. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a lightly dampened cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Always patch test first. Do not soak the hide. Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight and heat - do not use a hair dryer. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents and alcohol-based products.
Hair shedding
Some natural shedding is normal, particularly with new bags. Continued friction against a specific area - such as rubbing against clothing or a car seat - will cause the hair in that area to thin over time. This is a natural characteristic of cowhide and is not a fault. Rotating how you carry your bag will help minimise this.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Do not store in plastic - cowhide needs to breathe. Fill with tissue paper to retain shape and do not hang by the strap for extended periods.
