Camel Crisscross Handbag
The Crisscross Shoulder Bag was created to make use of leftover strips of leather. This bag was one of those moments where the challenge of creating with what the earth has already given us resulted in something magical. The generous interior is fully lined with hand block printed cotton canvas and features one zipper pocket and one slip pocket, all safely secured with a magnetic closure.

JOYN is a socially-conscious fashion brand producing women’s handbags that are 100-percent handmade. Each bag is unique. No factories, no automation, because the more hands that it takes to make the products, the more jobs that are created. They have invented a system of “purposeful inefficiency” that drives every decision of the company.
Raw cotton is processed by hand, spun by hand, then woven by hand. Wooden blocks are carved by hand and then the design is pressed on to the fabric. This is all done by hand, reviving an ancient traditional art form that is native to India.
