Raja Leather and Cane Crossbody

A crossbody bag that somehow manages to be simultaneously casual, sophisticated, and slightly philosophical about your entire outfit.
 
What It Is:
The Raja Crossbody is a 7.5"x9.5" handcrafted bag made from a clever marriage of leather and cane rattan, featuring a 21" strap for effortless over-the-shoulder wear. Each piece is handmade by Balinese Artisan Partners, fusing traditional weaving techniques with modern design sensibilities. Available in Black or Camel, it’s the kind of bag that looks curated but doesn’t scream “look at me trying too hard.”
 
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because bags are not just for holding things—they’re for signaling intent, mood, and taste. Whether you’re navigating city streets, brunching with friends, or pretending to read Kafka on a park bench, this bag subtly communicates, “I care about craft, culture, and also my phone charger.”

About the brand:  Powered by People
Powered by People is basically what happens when “shopping small” gets a global operating system. Instead of mass-produced sameness, they connect you with makers who are spinning out hand-dyed textiles, hand-thrown ceramics, and jewelry that feels like it was pulled from an alternate reality where craftsmanship never went out of style. The through-line isn’t just aesthetics—it’s the insistence that every object has both utility and a backstory, often rooted in sustainable practices, reclaimed materials, and cultural traditions that would otherwise get bulldozed by the modern marketplace. In short: they’re trying to prove that conscious consumption doesn’t have to look like homework.
