THE MAKING

A braid from the Argentine littoral, at the heart of Mecha Mendez.

At the heart of Mecha Mendez is a tradition rooted in the Argentine littoral: the Gaucho braid.
Each piece carries that signature, made by hand, one at a time.
The leather is vegetable-tanned: it will mark, soften and age with you.
That is not a flaw, that is the point.

Stunning bag! This bag is special. SUPER functional shape and size. Ideal, really. The leather is gorgeous - the color, the softness - dreamy! The woven handle adds a pop of color and interest that has people stopping me on the street to find out where I got it. SO highly recommend. Just a perfect mix of beauty and function from a wonderful company. BRAVO!!!!

Venus Karabell - Irupe Medium Tan Hypnotic

Perfect Everyday Bag. I can fit my cardholder holder, lip gloss, cell and sunglasses with room to spare and yet it is a compact cute size. The option to switch out the handles is awesome 🤩

Kristen Miller - Irupe Mini Black Hypnotic

A unique attention-grabbing work of art! No disappoints. The product is spectacular; the price, reasonable. Packaging was artful, and the order was filled quickly, even with international shipping!
