Karlen Swiss

Our handcrafted Swiss vintage woolen handbags are made out of recycled Swiss Military blankets.

Once used for centuries by the Swiss military in remote mountain huts to keep warm, these blankets became redundant with the advent of the sleeping bag. Our craftsman has cleverly recycled the blanket material, creating stylish handbags, shoppers and backpacks out of the still very useful boiled wool fabric. The bags are finished with classic Swiss leather straps.
