It represents the power of different things coming together to form something strong and beautiful. The naturally varying shades of brown hint at the depth in diversity of people in every group, woven together to represent our interconnectedness. We are better together, and what better to represent that than a bag of woven leather strips that we can all carry – one that embodies the fact that we are so much stronger when bonded together. The Deset Woven bag captures the strength and beauty that exist in the balance of uniqueness and togetherness.” - Latasha Morrison, Be The Bridge
What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
- ·Made by Parker Clay in Ethiopia.
Longevity & Care
- ·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.
- ·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.
