Raffia sourced from Madagascar, dried in shade and hand-woven over six to nine days. Pebbled leather is vegetable-tanned, full-grain Italian hide that softens and deepens with carry. The emblem is sand-cast brass, hand-polished, and debossed by hand.
Store in the dust bag, away from direct sun. Spot-clean raffia with a soft dry brush; condition leather twice a year with a neutral balm. Every J. Lore bag carries a lifetime repair promise — bring it to the Cairo atelier or post it to us.
Free shipping on orders over EGP 8,000, dispatched within 3–5 working days. International delivery available at checkout. Unworn pieces may be returned within 14 days in their original dust bag.
Carries well with.
Woven slowly,
by name.
The Sahel Hobo begins on a loom in Antananarivo and finishes in our Cairo atelier — one weaver, one cutter, one stitcher per bag. Between six and nine days of work go into a single body before the leather is ever cut.
It is signed, not stamped: the maker's initials sit beside the edition number on the inner flap.
214 carried, and counting.
Carried carefully.
