Lara: Handmade Recycled Turkish Rug Handbag | Necla

Carry daily essentials in a compact crossbody bag made from repurposed Turkish rug, with a vivid geometric pattern that stands out against plain coats or denim.

Lara is a rectangular handbag cut from authentic recycled rug fabric. The face shows a red field framed in green, black and cream borders, centred on a bold four-point motif in blue and yellow. Small orange diamond accents run along the inner border. A long woven strap in grey and cream attaches at the top corners and finishes with short fringed ends. The piece measures 26 cm by 16 cm, small enough for keys, phone and a slim wallet yet substantial enough to feel like a proper bag rather than a pouch.

The dense, slightly raised pile of the rug gives the surface a tactile, textile weight. It sits well against linen, wool or leather and works as a colour accent on a hallway hook or draped over a chair arm when not in use. Each bag is one of a kind, shaped from existing rug stock by Necla.
