With a deep-rooted passion for craftsmanship and a profound love for the art of coffee. My creation, a bag made from coffee-dyed leather and jute, embodies a commitment to sustainability and the use of natural materials. The leather, dyed with coffee, not only reflects my appreciation for this beloved beverage but also showcases an innovative approach to eco-friendly design. Paired with durable and biodegradable jute, the bag is a testament to my dedication to creating beautiful, functional items that honour both tradition and the environment.
