The length of the handles is just right for wearing the bag over your shoulder.

Each product is handmade, often by women who lack basic numerical skills and cannot use a tape measure. However, they put all their love and care into each product. We hope that you find the tiny variations in size, pattern, and colours as part of the charm of the product!
