Hamsa
Description
A structured top-handle bag built for the working day and what follows it. The boxy, lightly tapered body holds its shape in the hand or set down on a table, framed in smooth leather with neat stitched corners and a speckled hair-on hide panel at its center. Twin rolled handles ride on polished silver rings, and an adjustable, detachable strap lets it sit cross-body when your hands are full.
No two are the same — the markings fall differently across every hide, so each bag keeps its own pattern. The smooth leather frame is sealed to resist everyday marks and softens gently with handling. Handcrafted in Cairo.

Care
Cared for simply, this piece will only grow more beautiful with time. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth to lift everyday dust, and keep it away from direct sunlight and heat, which draw the natural oils from the leather. Should it meet the rain, blot the moisture — never rub — and let it air-dry, well away from any heat.
Every month or so, work a small amount of neutral leather conditioner into the grain to keep it supple. At rest, store the piece in its dust bag, loosely filled with acid-free tissue to hold its shape; never seal leather in plastic, as it must be allowed to breathe.
With wear, the leather will soften and gain character — deepening gently in tone over time. This is not damage, but patina: the quiet record of a piece well lived with.
