Sivana Large Woven Bag

The ‘Sivana’ shoulder bag, named after her maker, is a statement in slow fashion style. 

 

She is a one-off, one-of-a-kind classic that nobody in your village will have. 

 

Woven on a back strap loom, from alpaca and sheep’s wool which has been hand-dyed the traditional way using plants, flowers and fungus, the ‘Sivana’ is a tribute to Pachhamama (Mother Earth).

 

Connect with your inner artist and channel the spirit of the Andes, when you casually sling her over your shoulder and stuff her with your life’s possessions. 

 

Featuring a top zipper, lined interior and padded base, ‘Silvana’ will hold a laptop, your drink bottle, an iPad, sunglasses, a wallet, makeup and more.

 

Lighter than a supermodel, with the looks to match, the ‘Sivana’, is a slow fashion staple that will work with wardrobe favourites, earthy tones and boho styling.

I have personally selected the ‘Sivana’ bag to be part of my collection because of her beautiful looks and roomy curves.  She showcases exquisite weaving techniques:  woven symbols that communicate to other women in Sivana’s village her dreams and that she is the maker.

 

Wonderful to wear with your everyday denims, the ‘Sivana’ also looks great dressed up, adding serious ‘sas’ to a navy or black suit and tailored pieces.
