Details

The Emu feathers complement the bag's black leather and beads. They also add to the stylish exoticness that comes with the Plumas.

These beads are hand stitched to the bag to ensure longevity of life while completing the bags inspiration.

The Plumas is not an ordinary bag, and unlike ordinary bags, the Plumas's hardware is stitched through beads to ensure that no exotic detail was overlooked.
