The Story

The Aloha Akaroa Bag is a celebration of colour, texture and the relaxed spirit of island living. I wanted to combine hand-painted Hibiscus flowers with rich Tobacco tones, intricate weaving and cascading fringe to create a bag that feels effortlessly bohemian with a little rock-and-roll attitude.

The Craft

Each Aloha Akaroa Bag brings together several artisanal techniques. The Hibiscus flowers are individually hand-painted onto genuine leather, while intricate handwoven edging, silver studs and layers of suede fringe add texture and dimension. The Tobacco suede body, handle and fringe give the bag its soft, relaxed finish.

The Details

  • Genuine cow leather and soft Tobacco suede
  • Individually hand-painted Hibiscus flowers in Orange, Tobacco, Gold and Silver
  • Silver studded border framing the front flap
  • Intricate handwoven edging
  • Layered Tobacco suede fringe
  • Adjustable handle for shoulder or crossbody wear
  • Spacious interior
  • Two internal accessory pouches
  • Internal zippered pocket
  • Comes with a protective Jodi Lee dust bag

The Size

Height: 31cm
Width: 32cm
Depth: 7cm

Adjustable Handle Length: 77cm – 138cm

A generous everyday size with plenty of room for your essentials.

Materials & Care

Made from genuine cow leather and soft suede. As each piece is individually crafted, natural variations in colour and texture are part of its character.

Care: Do not use leather protectants on the hand-painted leather, as these may affect the artwork.

Hand-Painted Note: Every colour is mixed from scratch using our established painting method. Because each piece is individually hand-painted, slight variations in colour and finish can occur, making every bag unique.

We want you to love your Jodi Lee piece

Every Jodi Lee piece is designed by me and lovingly crafted in our Bali atelier by skilled artisans I have worked with over many years.

Our bags and accessories are made from beautiful natural leather and suede, with crystals, gemstones, embroidery, beading, hand-applied details and embellishments. Because of the nature of these materials and the care that goes into creating each piece, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.

Our Beautiful Natural Leather & Suede

We love genuine leather and suede because they are natural materials with their own individual character.

You may notice variations in grain, texture, colour or small natural markings. These are natural characteristics of leather and suede and can vary from piece to piece.

Colours may also appear slightly different depending on your screen and the lighting used when photographing our pieces.

These natural variations are not considered manufacturing faults.

We carefully check every Jodi Lee piece before it leaves us, but occasionally something can go wrong.

If you believe your piece has a manufacturing fault or another issue covered by Australian Consumer Law, please contact info@jodilee.com.au as soon as possible.
