What customers are saying

Fantastic color, texture and design!

I am thrilled with this Crisscross Shoulder Bag, the hand feel of the material is superb: soft and sturdy. The design is beautiful, and I love that scraps from production are repurposed in making the strips of material that go into the construction of this bag. This feels like a high quality item that will be with me for decades, and I just love it. I would highly recommend!

Favourite bag!

Absolutely love this bag, the color, the shape, the size. It exudes style in an understated yet elegant way. Classic and minimalist. Perfect for everyday. Especially love that it is made of remnant leather.

Sexy bag

This bag gets all the compliments, and is the perfect size for a night on the town.

Great purchase

I have had my eye on this purse for a long time and when it came back into stock, I knew I wanted to grab it. It is such a pretty color, great quality, and I love that the thought behind the design is to utilize scraps of leather. I'm so happy with my purchase and recommend JOYN to everyone!

Made by hand, not by machine.

Ethically sourced and made by hand. Our partner JOYN is a Fair Trade workshop in Rajpur, India, where skilled local makers turn remnant leather from major fashion brands into bags made to last.

Because each one is woven by hand, no two are alike. You'll notice small variations in the leather and the stitching, and over time the leather will soften and deepen in color. The marks it gathers as you use it are part of its story, and it will only grow more beautiful with the years.
