The Miji Bag
Your smart casual, go-to bag for those days where you need to feel confident but cool. Its dark olive-green exterior in dry-wax with a deep maroon quilted interior gives it a smart, luxurious finish while the sturdy slouch brings on a unique take to the messenger bag form.

Please note that the colour displayed on screen may differ slightly to the actual colour of the material.
Sometimes we cannot be certain where a material originated. This is because where we sourced it from may not have kept records of it. Where we can be sure, we have marked it. In most cases, multiple countries are involved. For example, a fabric may have grown in one country, milled in another, and cut somewhere else. We have written where the last process was carried out. For example, the dry-waxed canvas was milled in Scotland, and the inner lining offcuts are from a production activity carried out in Kenya.

CLEANING & CARE ADVICE
To remove any stains, gently dab with a moist cloth. Leave to air dry.
Iron out any creases on the canvas using a low heat indirectly by placing a white muslin cloth or light towel that does not bleed dye on top of the section that needs to be ironed.
Though sisal is a sturdy material, the sisal panel is delicate and may sometimes crease if not stored well. To rectify this, make only the creased area slightly wet and flatten it out. Leave to air dry completely to avoid moisture collecting. Do not tamper with while wet and avoid friction against the sisal panel.
DO NOT steam the bag
DO NOT put the bag in a washing machine
