Ladies' leather belt bag

This belt bag is made by O My Bag from wonderfully supple soft grain leather. The strong, vegetable-tanned leather still shows its natural grain, as the surface remains natural and is therefore slightly textured. This also results in the particularly pleasant feel and grip of the cowhide. Typically, with time and use, it will develop its own beautiful leather patina and take on the marks of everyday life such as scratches and the like. The leather edges of the hip belt are quilted and carefully sanded, polished and waxed. It is infinitely adjustable and generously sized so that you can wear the bag on your hip, crossbody or over your shoulder. The inside of the belt bag is lined with the striking blue and white striped twill, in this case made from pure cotton. An integrated zipped compartment and three small slip pockets provide space for small items and cards. The belt bag closes with a zipper, which is additionally reinforced with leather.

Support Trade, Not Aid. These words, heard by Paulien Wesselink during her studies, would one day be the basis for her bag brand O My Bag. Since 2011, the philosophy behind her company has been based on principles that are as simple as they are ambitious: to create beautiful bags that are made with respect for the environment and people. But this does not only apply to O My Bag. The Amsterdam-based label works exclusively with companies that follow the same principles. Production takes place in Kolkata, India - a conscious decision to offer local producers and their families fair wages and access to the global market. The design is created in Amsterdam.
The bags from O My Bag are characterized by a clear, functional style that is timelessly contemporary and corresponds to the durability of the material from which they are made: high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather. For Paulien Wesselink, leather is still the most sustainable option due to its low environmental impact when tanned and dyed in an eco-friendly way. In addition, GOTS-certified cotton is used, but the label is also open-minded about innovative, environmentally friendly materials: since 2021, O my Bag has been making bags and purses from AppleSkin™, a vegan leather alternative.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
