A broad black silhouette gives this messenger bag a clean, purposeful presence. Made from Black Cowhide and Black Cane Toad skins, invasive in Australia. Paired top handles offer a composed way to carry it, complemented by a separate shoulder strap. Its restrained design lets proportion, construction, and finishing take the lead.
Designed and made by BOEWA’s founder using hand and machine techniques, with close attention to stitching, edge finishing, and the balance of beauty and practicality.
Dimensions (W × H × D): 19 × 17 × 6 inches.
Behind the name
Lyall is named after Lyall’s wren, a small bird from New Zealand that could not fly. Its last known population lived on Takapourewa / Stephens Island. After cats were introduced in the late 1800s, the birds disappeared. Lyall’s wren is now extinct.
