This one-of-a-kind bag is crafted from vintage Romanian handwoven fabric. Although the exact age of each fabric piece cannot be pinpointed, they are at least 50 years old, with some dating back to the 1930s.
The bag's red and black geometric pattern serves as a canvas for symbols steeped in tradition and storytelling. The symbols used in Romanian traditional textiles are rich in meaning, each carrying a story or a message passed down through generations. These symbols, found in embroidery, weaving, and other forms of traditional art, are not just decorative; they are a language of their own, deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual life. For more insight into these cultural motifs, please visit 'Discover FTLO' - 'The tradition'.
Handcrafted with precision and designed for versatility, the 'Village Street Style Bag' offers three distinct ways to complement your personal style. It comes with two adjustable straps: a wristlet and a longer crossbody, both fashioned from sustainable rPET cord. Alternatively, use the metal buckle to clip it securely to your jeans, adding a touch of casual sophistication to your outfit. Reinforced with a cork backing for durability, lined with linen, and finished with high-quality metal accessories, this bag is a statement of eco-conscious fashion.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
To prolong the life of your bag, we recommend the following care instructions:
Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any surface dirt. The cork part can be cleaned using a soft cloth slightly dampened with water.
Stain Removal: For stubborn stains on the vintage fabric, consult a professional cleaner. If the cork has stubborn stains, gently rub the area with a soft cloth dipped in a mixture of water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the cork.
Avoid Liquid Exposure: Avoid contact with water, oils, perfumes, and cosmetics to prevent damage and discoloration.
Storage: Store your bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged and direct exposure to sources of light and heat. Use the dust bag for added protection.
Conditioning the Cork: Though not always necessary, you can apply a natural cork conditioner or a simple beeswax-based product to keep the cork soft and pliable. This can help prevent cracking over time.
Handling with Love: The handmade nature of our bags means they should be handled with care.
