Ethical Luxury

Loreto Flap Crossbody — Blue Cowhide and Blue Salmon
$250.00

Tonal blue gives this flap bag a quiet richness, with brighter salmon leather trim tracing the contours of its shaped flap. Slender straps and a polished-looking front clasp complete a considered silhouette with an individual point of view.

The strap can be moved so one is longer than the other for a crossbody style.

Designed and made by BOEWA’s founder using hand and machine techniques, with close attention to stitching, edge finishing, and the balance of beauty and practicality.

Dimensions (W × H × D): 8.5 × 6 × 4 inches.

Behind the name

Loreto is named after the royal gramma, a small purple and yellow fish found on Caribbean reefs. Invasive lionfish prey on this native fish. The royal gramma is still living, and its story reminds us of the reef life affected by lionfish.

Percy Shoulder Bag — Nubuck Brown Cowhide and Deadstock Whipsnake
$350.00

Warm brown tones meet a curved silhouette in a shoulder bag with an understated sense of character. A patterned front tab and metal clip hardware create a distinctive focal point, while the single shoulder strap keeps the design simple and wearable.

Designed and made by BOEWA’s founder using hand and machine techniques, with close attention to stitching, edge finishing, and the balance of beauty and practicality.

Dimensions (W × H × D): 12 × 20 × 4 inches.

Behind the name

Percy is named after the Percy Island flying-fox, a bat known from just one specimen, reported as collected in 1859. No further confirmed records are known. It is often listed as extinct, but scientists still debate whether it was a separate species. Why it disappeared is unknown.

Effortless pieces, timeless style

We design each of our collections with the intention of creating pieces that can be passed down through generations, with minimal waste and minimal carbon footprint.

Lyall Messenger — Black Cowhide and Black Cane Toad
$550.00

A broad black silhouette gives this messenger bag a clean, purposeful presence. Made from Black Cowhide and Black Cane Toad skins, invasive in Australia. Paired top handles offer a composed way to carry it, complemented by a separate shoulder strap. Its restrained design lets proportion, construction, and finishing take the lead.

Designed and made by BOEWA’s founder using hand and machine techniques, with close attention to stitching, edge finishing, and the balance of beauty and practicality.

Dimensions (W × H × D): 19 × 17 × 6 inches.

Behind the name

Lyall is named after Lyall’s wren, a small bird from New Zealand that could not fly. Its last known population lived on Takapourewa / Stephens Island. After cats were introduced in the late 1800s, the birds disappeared. Lyall’s wren is now extinct.
