Handcrafted by Pradeep, whose steady hands cut, stitch and finish each Merta sling one at a time — an everyday object made with the patience owed to an heirloom.
From Merta — a Marwar town remembered as the home of the poet-saint Meera Bai — comes a companion pared back to its essentials. The Merta Mobile Sling carries your phone, a few cards and a folded note, and nothing you do not need. Cut from supple natural leather and lined in hard-wearing canvas, it is the kind of everyday piece that only grows more beautiful with the years, softening and deepening as it travels with you. Carry a legacy, lightly.

How your bag is made
The hides are tanned with babul bark, then worked and laid out to cure by hand. It is the slow way, and the reason the leather softens with age instead of cracking.
