— No two bags are the same! Hiptipico prides itself on uniqueness and authenticity. Every Hiptipico product is 100% handmade and has the human touch of the weaver and maker in each stitch. This makes our products uniquely charming and distinct from factory-made accessories. No two are exactly same and imperfections are to be expected and appreciated.

Every piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind, so the shape, size and colour will vary per piece.
— Materials: Crafted with 100% Egyptian Cotton + Vegan Synthetic Leather
— The composition of Hiptipico's vegan leather is plastic synthetic fibres and does not hold up as long as natural leather.
— Care: Raw textiles should be spot cleaned or hand washed only with cold water and gentle soap. Loose threads are common yet harmless. Do not pull loose threads. We recommend using scissors to cut away any loose strings cleanly. Trimming loose threads will not diminish the strength or integrity of the straps or bags.
