'Melaka' is the bag that loves catching people off-guard, in the best way. At first glance she’s a classy little evening companion, beautifully shaped with soft gathers, a curvy flap and a subtle shine. Then comes the twist… she’s made from recycled plastic bags!
Crafted from plarn in white, black, blues, greys and greens, then blended with natural raffia twine, this bag is full of character and wonderfully textured. It has a soft, squashy feel with that gentle “crunch” you only get from reimagined materials. The black leather adjustable strap adds a touch of polish, while the pretty cotton lining and zipped pocket keep things practical.
She’s roomy enough for a mini umbrella and all your essentials, elegant enough for a special event, and quirky enough to spark conversations all night. A clever mix of style and sustainability—Melaka is the bag that makes people say, “Wait… it’s made from what?!”
