Description

OMhandig is compact and straight to the point. Just enough space for the things you actually need, without carrying more than necessary.

The bag is cut from retired fire hoses and shaped by hand. The material is firm, durable and easy to clean. It keeps its structure while slowly developing more character over time. The adjustable shoulder strap makes it comfortable to wear crossbody or over one shoulder.

Because of the strength of the hose material, this is the kind of bag you’ll keep for years. Not because you have to, but because it holds up.

Each piece carries subtle surface variations from its previous life. That’s part of what gives every OMhandig its own presence.
