This mini clutch is a handcrafted, limited edition handbag as part of the Cairo Key Collection. This heritage collection is comprised of three vintage keys acquired from Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo, Egypt, circa 1850. Each key was paired with a handbag that was designed and handmade specifically to match its look. The key functions as part of the bag's closure system. Also included is a detachable shoulder strap to also function as a crossbody purse. 
Note, it comes with a detachable strap (not pictured), so it can be used as a crossbody purse, too. 

It is hand-cut and hand-stitched. This handbag is unlined.
  • About 6" L x 4.25" H (15cm x 10.5cm)
  • Camel leather (black); natural, hair on camel hide for the flap and side walls
  • Stitched by hand with French linen thread
  • Unlined

This item is shipped in special, complimentary, gift-ready packaging.

Why camel leather?
Our choice to use camel leather is intentional. The camel leather we use is ethically-sourced, which means camels are not raised for leather.

Also, our camel leather is tanned using a chrome-free process. Avoiding the use of toxic chemicals to make this leather allows the tannery to recycle 80% of the water and to compost the waste. From an environmental standpoint, this is very important. On the sustainability side, it is also important to note that camels require up to 40X less water than cows, which significantly reduces their impact on the environment.

Cool fact: Camel leather is up to 3X stronger than cow leather, and softer.

Every one of our items is completely designed and made by hand without machines in our California studio.
