The Mira Bag

DESIGNER’S NOTES

The Mira Bag blends timeless style with thoughtful construction, creating a handbag that’s as beautiful as it is functional. A striking woven texture wraps around every side of the bag, giving it a polished, high-end look while creating a sturdy fabric that holds its shape beautifully. The bag is worked seamlessly and finished with a refined I-cord bind-off, producing a clean, polished edge around the opening.

An I-cord casing allows the straps to thread smoothly through the bag, where they’re secured with simple overhead knots at the bottom for an effortlessly modern finish. Wear The Mira Bag as a crossbody or messenger bag, and customize it with an optional magnetic clasp or zipper closure for added security. Whether paired with linen on warm summer days or layered with cozy knits in cooler seasons, The Mira Bag is a versatile accessory that brings understated elegance to any wardrobe.
