Meet the Amal Bag

image

Everyone has their go-to bag, especially when it comes to one they carry back and forth to work. It needs to be roomy enough to fit all your daily essentials, but it also needs to look chic. For Amal Clooney, it’s this leather number designed by the Italian brand Ballin. The newly married barrister loves the bag so much she bought it in brown, taupe and black. To show their appreciation, Ballin decided to name the bag “The Amal.” What makes the bag above all other bags for Mrs. Clooney? We break down the ‘Amal’ bag and see for ourselves.

1. Each bag takes skilled artisans 30 hours to make it.

2. The double handles alone take 4 hours

3. Every detail including stitching and texture has to be exact: the stitching is tight while the leather must be blemish-free.

4. The goatskin leather lining, which is a more durable leather, perfectly matches each exterior color.
