This is the iconic Dragon Diffusion bag, and it remains our bestseller today—a roomy, hand-woven basket in smooth, buffalo calf leather. Handcrafted by our artisan weavers in one piece, the diagonal chevron weave is what makes this style unique. And, remaining true to traditional basket weaving techniques, the bag comes unlined with an open top.

A matching cotton drawstring bag is available should you wish to add a lining.
An antiqued St. Christopher medal charm, in homage to the patron saint of travellers, is hand-sewn inside each and every Dragon Diffusion bag—our brand’s very own seal of authenticity.

Caring for your bag
This is an extract from our care guide, which we invite you to read to take better care of your Dragon bag.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Each Dragon Diffusion bag is handwoven, resulting in unique variations in color and texture. These characteristics are not flaws but a testament to the handmade quality and natural materials used.

AVOID HEAVY LOADS

Refrain from carrying excessively heavy items to prevent deforming the bag’s shape. For example, if you use your bag to transform a computer, tablet and book, the bag is likely to be damaged more quickly and leather strips may come off.

DEALING WITH MOISTURE

If your bag gets wet, blot the water away immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the leather in water or use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdryers to dry it. Allow the bag to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.

NATURAL DYE BLEEDING

Natural dyes used in our bags may bleed initially, especially with dark colors or in high humidity. To help set the dye, leave your bag in sunlight for several hours. As the dyes are natural, it may take some time for them to stop bleeding. Over time and some use, the bags will develop a special used patina that in fact enhances the feel and look of your Dragon Bag.

PROTECTIVE STORAGE

Always store your bag in a dust bag when not in use. This allows air circulation and prevents mildew. Ensure the dust bag is soft and does not scratch the leather.
