Each Nushki Tote is made slowly and in a run of just nine. The carpet is traditionally woven by hand by Laila and her women’s cooperative in Boujaad, Morocco. These bags are made from the offcuts, the leftover pieces that would otherwise go unused, which are then cut and pieced together in London and paired with sturdy dark denim straps with studs.
Because every bag comes from a different piece of weave, no two are the same. The weaving alone takes days or weeks by hand, and the price reflects the time, skill and relationships behind each piece, from the women who weave the carpets to the hands that finish each bag.
Every piece carries human time, physical memory and the knowledge of the women who made it.
