The world of fashion has gotten a wake-up call in recent years with a handful of its most prominent leaders bringing many of the less than eco-friendly (if not downright wasteful and unsustainable) issues to the forefront. And, while big-name brands still have a way to go, there are plenty of small, conscious brands that can hold their own when it comes to quality and aesthetics. Case in point: Kmana.

Kmana Travel Bags

A family-run design company with a passion for sustainability, Kmana creates some of the most stunning leather travel bags and accessories you have ever seen. Each crafted by hand in Bali, the growing Kmana line is designed with stylish wanderers, male and female, in mind – those who enjoy looking good while on the go. Driven by the idea that “we are constantly creating the world we live in”, Kmana promises to shake up the world of design and fashion, but in a way that’s gentle enough not to ruffle any feathers.

Ethical Luxury

Sustainably produced in small batches, Kmana has quickly become a leader in its niche, considering the brand’s relatively recent start back in 2017. And, while many eco-conscious and sustainable labels use “doing good” as the sole headline of their marketing campaigns, Kmana’s products speak for themselves – just as beautiful and well-made as any other luxury leather bag on the market.

Slow Fashion

Seen on men and women around the world, from Hong Kong to Barcelona, the current Kmana product range includes day-to-day crossbody bags to yoga mat bags and carry-all weekenders and travel bags. Each bag is cleverly designed from just one piece of either full-grain cow or sheep leather, so Kmana products will last decades – if not a lifetime.

Our Top 5 Kmana Bags

And, while every Kmana bag deserves a place in your life, to help you choose which will be your travel (or every day) companion, we have narrowed it down to our Top 5 picks from their current collection, including classic totes, a stylish yet functional luxury leather backpack and those essential travel bags you simply cannot go anywhere without:-

1. The Mini Tote Bag – The perfect size for everyday use, the CHTWIN Mini Leather Structured Tote Bag features sturdy leather handles, useful side pockets, and that all-important top zipper you want for the main compartment to keep contents safe. Available in black and camel brown, it’s easy to feel like you need both colours (because you do).

2. The Travel Bag – The MAYA Travel Bag looks so good you won’t believe how well it works for you every day, too. With a simple zip closure and no lining, this is a throw everything in carry-all for any occasion. Use it whether traveling or not – we won’t judge.

3. The Maxi Weekender Bag – Beautifully designed and perfectly slouchy, The CHTWIN Maxi Weekender Bag will look as good over your shoulder as it does by your feet. The all-leather handles give you the option to wear the bag over your shoulder or hold it in your hands – either way, it’s super comfortable to use and a total fashion win. Plus, each one is handcrafted in Indonesia and will feature a unique and colourful fabric lining.

4. The Working Tote Bag – Totally professional and stylist-approved, the handcrafted executive-inspired CHTWIN Working Tote Leather Bag comes in black or brown, giving you the ability to transition easily from work to a night out. This classic working tote bag has plenty of room for all of your business essentials, such as a laptop, tablet, wallet, phone, etc, and makes a stylish (and sustainable) alternative to a briefcase or laptop bag.

5. The Backpack – Kmana’s CHTWIN Folded Backpack is designed with a folded top and front buckle fastening for a timeless traveller look. Handcrafted from vegetable tanned full-grain cow leather in a choice of classic black or camel brown.
