- A tactile alternative to synthetic purses, thick wool felt provides cushioning and moisture resistance to help protect belongings from minor knocks and spills.

ABOUT THE COLOURWAY
Mustard Yellow combines a rich, earthy yellow top stripe, sitting between warm ochre and antique gold, with a charcoal Dark Grey melange base. The two shades create a subtle ombré effect, with the muted mustard bringing warmth to the darker grey while retaining a smart, understated feel. Rich and characterful without being overly bright, this sophisticated colour combination makes an easy everyday accessory and offers a more grown-up alternative to our playful colourways.

HANDMADE IN NEPAL
Our felt and leather accessories are handmade by a small workshop affiliated with the Nepal Leprosy Trust, providing employment for marginalised people. AURA QUE has worked with the team since 2006, developing products, supporting skills and providing equipment. We developed our felt accessories specifically to create more paid work for the workshop’s small team of women felters. As a certified member of the World Fair Trade Organization, the workshop provides a fair living wage, healthcare benefits and monthly contributions towards employees’ children’s school fees.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our bags, pouches and purses are handmade from mulesing-free 100% sheep wool, carefully felted using just soap and water. The distinctive soft texture and subtle tonal variations give each piece its handmade character. Wool felt is renewable and biodegradable; shades of grey, brown and cream are undyed, while other colours use azo-free dyes. The accessories are lined with black cotton. The leather zip pulls are made from offcuts left over from producing our cotton and leather handbag handles.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Layering the fleece: Wool fleece is carefully prepared and arranged in layers, with the fibres positioned to create the shape, thickness and colour required for each AURA QUE design.
- Wet felting by hand: A small amount of water and soap is used as the wool is repeatedly worked by hand. Moisture, friction and pressure encourage the fibres to bind together, gradually creating a dense and durable felt.
- Constructing the design: Skilled artisans cut, assemble and stitch the felt panels to create the shape and structure of each accessory. Pockets, cotton linings and other functional details are added according to the design.
- Adding the leather: The leather zip pulls are made from offcuts left over from producing our cotton and leather handbag handles. Natural variations in the leather add to the individual character of each piece.
A THOUGHTFUL, HANDMADE GIFT
