Details & Care
Fatick XS is the
perfect purse for summer festivals and an indispensable everyday item. Use it to
store your credit cards and keys or a few of your make-up essentials.
The Fatick XS
purses are made of skin from wild python snakes found in Senegal. Each bag is
unique not only because it is handmade, but also because each animal has had
its own story represented by its different scars and patterns on its skin. The
bag is treated carefully during production, which ensures that the surface of
the snakeskin comes out looking both natural and beautiful.
Conscious luxury
Our Senegalese
workshops cooperate with a special group of local hunters who have held on to
old cultural traditions. They eat the meat left behind, which means that no
part of the animal goes to waste. The skins are
sustainable in that each bag is CITES certified, which means that the species
used has been studied and is not considered endangered. We adhere to principles of sustainability, full
transparency, open communication and proper wages for our local partners in
Senegal.
