Vanna Bag

Vanna is the chic ‘boho’ version of the classic fanny bag. It’s big enough for just your essentials. Wear it over your shoulder, around your waist or as a fanny bag. It is made of rattan with a vegetable tanned leather cover in nude or black, which closes with a magnet and the bag includes a cotton lining inside. The cotton strap is army green coloured and is adjustable. It takes 24hrs for one artisan to finish one Vanna bag. Each purchase supports Manava artisans in Cambodia.
