Shella Copper Crossbody

The Shella

Named after Shella — the quiet village at the edge of Lamu Island, where the Indian Ocean arrives gently and the architecture has been the same color as sand for centuries. The name carries that stillness.

This bag is a study in blue. A lighter blue on top, open and coastal. A deeper blue below, the color the ocean goes when it gets serious. Between them, three bands of copper trim — not one, three — sitting in sequence like a seam of warm metal running through cool water. The copper doesn't separate the two blues so much as it makes the difference between them visible.

Two blues and three copper lines. Seven decisions that look like one.

Compact crossbody. 7" x 8" — built for what you actually need on you, not what you think you might need. Nubuck leather strap, adjustable, the kind that settles into the right length and stays there.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Keep from prolonged moisture, store somewhere dry. Each bag is unique — the depth of each blue will absorb differently into every fiber, and the copper trim will vary slightly in intensity between pieces.

7" x 8" — Sisal and Nubuck leather — Handmade in Machakos, Kenya.
