CROSSBODY BAG M GLOSSY MAROON

The NONA brand relies on slow fashion in a fast-paced modern world. It doesn’t recognise seasonal collections, instead focusing on limited editions of sophisticated accessories inspired by Japanese minimalism. Designed in a studio in Rotterdam, the handbags are created in collaboration with a small family-run workshop in Spain that still abounds with a rich tradition of leather craftsmanship and cutting-edge materials.

The brand’s founder Anona van der Linde believes that a handbag should naturally blend in with our bodies, just like a comfortable piece of clothing. That’s why the designers at Studio NONA strive to create handbags that are not only aesthetically unobtrusive, but also enjoyable to wear every day for years. By only creating handbags in a limited core collection, the brand can truly focus on ethical production, avoiding overproduction and wasted resources. The materials used, such as leather from Spain and cotton canvas from France, are carefully selected to minimise the carbon footprint associated with their transportation.

CARE

Natural leather:it is recommended to use a protective spray before using the bag for the first time. Waterproof and dirt-repellent sprays are available for different skin types. For smooth leathers, use a damp cotton cloth to clean the bag once in a while. If you get a stain on your leather, try to remove it with a dry cotton cloth or handkerchief and then clean it with a damp cloth.

To keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out, use a small amount of clear wax or leather cream once every one to two months to treat the bag. You can apply the leather wax to the bag in a circular motion using a cotton cloth. Don’t forget to apply the wax to the corners of the bag – these are the delicate parts of the bag that regularly come into contact with the surface when the bag is put away.
