The Brief - Myra Bag

Western Aesthetic

Design a free spirited classic western aesthetic with emphasis on craftsmanship, movement and textural elements.

Our Approach

Dust & Drape

The design draws inspiration from the raw, untamed spirit of the Western culture — blending heritage motifs with a free-spirited charm. Soft suede leather was chosen to evoke warmth and authenticity, allowing the bag to drape naturally against the body. Fringes were added to create dynamic movement, while intricate Western-inspired embroidery adds a layer of artisanal storytelling. Every element—from antique hardware to buckle details — was carefully selected to reinforce the relaxed, rugged elegance of Western culture. The construction remains unstructured and fluid, celebrating effortlessness and individuality.
