Totebag – Issyk Kul – Indigo

The tote bag or shopper is the ideal handbag when you need to take more with you than just your wallet and phone. The bag is sufficiently spacious to store all your stuff and comes with a sturdy, thick leather handle.

Issyk-Kul is the world’s second largest alpine lake  – located in the northern Tian Shan mountains in eastern Kyrgyzstan. In the Kyrgyz language Issyk-Kul means “warm lake”; although it is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, it never freezes.

Long ago this lake was a stopover on the Silk Road, a land route for travelers from the Far East to Europe. Nowadays the lake – and his region – is famous for its treks, hikes, beaches, resorts and spa services.

The felt being used for this item originates from the south side of lssyk-Kul: with the greatest care and attention this 100% Merino woolfelt is hand- and fairmade by local women. And we do believe this item will give you the same kind of warmth and care as the lake is named after!
