The Totem bag is a hand-stitched, compact handbag made from taurillon leather from the Basque country. It features an inverted leather insert that creates a contrast of textures. The bag is fully lined in white Italian leather. Its clasp features a totem mandorla inspired by motifs of the peoples of the world. The design is made from sculpted and sheathed leather.
