Calonge is actually a premium Spanish brand whose bags are handwoven in India. I spotted the bag in Manila and was quite impressed by it. It just happens that my husband was flying to Chennai the next week. We were on the phone and the staff at Calonge sent me photos over the net so that I could pick out a “cabat-ish bag.

What a bargain! The seem to be very well made but I will let you know when I get the bag.

I know except BV & Calonge, there is an emerging brand called SD Marvel that also provides it’s own woven pattern styles. The price is really affordable for the quality. I am not sure if it is Italy brand / Singapore but quality is good no matter where is made for……

Calonge is a Swiss/Indian collaboration and its quality compares very well with BV. The colours are beautiful and the weaves exquisite. The prices are way, way less than BV and besides bags they do lovely shoes/wallets/belts.

BV isn’t the only one that makes woven leather. There’s a French-Indian collaboration brand called ‘Calonge’ that makes lovely bags, shoes & belts in woven styles. Not as luxe as BV, but way more affordable. Not sure where they’re available in US or Europe though…

I would like to post a message to BV, please make these amazing bags better accomodate
a shoulder carry. Spoke to another woman in NM yest. pondering a BV purchase, and the comlaint was the same as mine. Arms bags are great, but realities are those moments
when only a shoulder wil do.
