Craftsmanship Stories | The Horsehair Ai Bag

The Ai Bag is a truly extraordinary handbag that fully lives up to Albert's belief that "functionality is beautiful". In essence it is a tote bag, but when it is closed, the top corner folds, like origami, and are fastened by a discreet, custom-designed trapezoid clasp. Akris's horsehair is sourced in Mongolia, where it is trimmed from the long tails of the native horses. Once trimmed, the horsehair is sorted by color, inspected for quality, and tied into bundles of equal natural color for shipment.
