Description
The Bachuma Bag is a roomy shoulder bag woven from paper in an open, net-like pattern and finished in gold with a soft metallic sheen. Two slim gold handles rise from the top edge, long enough to sit over the shoulder rather than in the hand. It measures 52cm long, 36cm high and 15cm wide, so there is space for a good deal more than the essentials. At 0.23KG it adds next to nothing to the load you carry.
It suits anyone who wants a light, everyday bag with a little shine: a trip to the shops, a day out with friends, or a place for a book, a scarf and a water bottle. The 15cm width gives it a real base, so it takes bulkier things than a flat shopper would. Between outings it looks good hung from a hook in a hallway or bedroom, and we like it at home too as a loose holder for knitting, magazines or spare throws.
Paper is a light material, which is why a bag this size weighs so little. Paper also softens and weakens when it gets wet, so we suggest keeping the Bachuma out of the rain and away from damp corners. To clean it, brush off dust and wipe marks gently with a dry, soft cloth rather than a wet one. The weave is open, so small loose items such as keys, coins or lip balm are best kept in a zipped pouch inside the bag. Hang it up between uses rather than crushing it in a drawer, and it will be ready for the next outing.
