The ABURY Berber Bag embodies sophistication and character. Crafted from fine goatskin leather, this everyday shoulder bag was originally designed as a functional bag to carry tools and personal items across the vast, rugged landscapes of the Moroccan Sahara. Initially used mainly by men, the bag was valued for its durability and practicality.

Today, it combines the rich historical stories of Berber culture with a striking fashion statement. This bag exudes elegance, style and boldness - above all, it reflects a deep commitment to the exceptional craftsmanship involved in its creation. Blending modern design with the timeless traditions of a rich cultural heritage, it is truly one of a kind.

A Unique Blend of Goatskin Leather and Cactus Silk

This distinctive bag combines the best of both worlds: the finest goatskin leather and innovative Moroccan cactus silk. Known for its softness and durability, goatskin gives the bag an elegant look and a sturdy structure. Cactus silk, a revolutionary eco-friendly material made from the fibres of the cactus plant, adds another layer of sustainability. This unique combination results in each Berber bag being a true work of art that blends artisanal heritage with modern, eco-consciousness.

Handmade Elegance with Social Responsibility

The ABURY Berber Bag proudly supports local communities in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. Skilled artisans, led by Monsieur Omar and his team in Marrakech, use traditional Berber embroidery techniques to create each bag entirely by hand, working closely with ABURY from the outset.

Fair trade practices are a core commitment for ABURY. Every purchase not only preserves Morocco's artisanal heritage, but also improves the livelihoods of the artisans and their communities. Each Berber bag is more than a stylish accessory; it's a piece of culture and history that celebrates Morocco's diversity.
