Our skilled artisans put their heart and soul into making each of our bags. Handcrafted in India, our bags are a true testament to the beauty of slow and sustainable fashion.

Each of our bags carry a story, they've been given a new lease of life being made from recycled nylon. What once could've been an old carpet, fishing net or scraps has been delicately transformed into one of our MONTY Bags.

Due to the nature of recycled nylon fabric, please bare in mind that each bag is unique and may have minor imperfections, these are not faults but what we consider to be a raw beauty of their past life that adds to their quirky disposition. 

We kindly ask for you to embrace their minor imperfections, like all of us, not every one is perfect. 

Minor Imperfections may include:

• Loose threads
• Difference in stripes 
• Pulls within recycled nylon fabric
• Holes smaller than 5mm
• Natural markings
• Handcrafted size or shape variations
• Weave texture

To give your bag the TLC it deserves:

• Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth
• Avoid long-term sun exposure to prevent fading
• Your bag will arrive flat, don't worry pre stuffing your bag will help it spring into shape

Please note - colours may rub against light coloured fabric.
