An Ode to Sun-Drenched Days
Brought to life in collaboration with Mia Melange, our locally made Vessel and Ola bags are a combination of simple yet luxurious textures, embodying the essence of a Cape Town summer. The textured cotton and jute rope adds a tactile dimension to the genuine leather components that is both simple and luxurious. VERSE partnered with Mia Melange in the manufacturing process and each piece stands as a testament to the dedication and passion of our local artisans, telling a story of craftsmanship and collaboration.
The marriage of supple leather and the textural embrace of rope weaves a visual and sensory narrative, echoing the bohemian essence of Spanish espadrille shoes and the tranquil allure of the seaside. Thick leather straps are designed to be wrapped and knotted on the body organically and intuitively; and while the woven rope adds tactile dimension, it also ensure that the handmade bags maintain their structural integrity, becoming a canvas for treasures gathered during sunlit adventures.
All VERSE handbags are made with genuine leather, and are designed and handmade by our leatherwork artisans in our studio in Woodstock, Cape Town. We are a proudly South African brand and we source our premium leathers solely from local tanneries. All leathers used are a by-product of our local agricultural industries in the South Africa.
