Bags of your dreams: Furmoo

It’s been said that if diamonds are a girls’ best friend, then handbags are family, and you’re sure to find the bag of your dreams at Furmoo – the coolest wee bag shop in town.

Sassy styles and demure designs are what you’ll find at Furmoo: home to a tastefully crafted collection of handbags, travel bags, wallets, clutches, passport holders, keyrings and more. Locally owned by Shelley Double, this boutique accessory business was established to provide women and men who like beautiful things with stylish, high-quality accessories, while keeping both affordability and fair-trade in mind.

Shelley works directly with the factory in Indonesia – a factory she wholeheartedly supports. “I’m all about giving back,” Shelley says, and it is because of this unique and laudable approach to business that the factory has been able to thoroughly improve their working environment.

The accessories are all individually handmade and dressed in either premium cowhide or ‘crazy horse leather’; an ultra-long-lasting leather made of full grain cowhide. With a vintage-y feel that develops character with age, this leather is used for all products in the ‘Fur Man’ range.

Picking a bag or wallet that’s perfect for you is easy thanks to the myriad of styles, designs and colours that are available both in store and online, plus there’s a new and unique style added to the range every week! Furmoo can also customise any bag to suit your taste.

Stylish, long-lasting, affordable and fair trade – what more could you ask for? Browse their collection at 3/177 High Street or shop online at www.furmoo.co.nz.
