Jegua Charms Trunk - Tan

Each braided handle or braided detail is hand-crafted in Argentina using traditional gaucho techniques: a process rooted in time, precision and generational knowledge.

Each braid takes one to two days to complete, built strand by strand by skilled hands. The time invested is visible in its texture, weight and presence.

This is not a decorative detail, but a level of craftsmanship that requires time and expertise, naturally limiting how each piece can be made.

The braid is a defining element of Mecha Mendez: a signature that carries identity, craft and intention.

The Jegua Charms Trunk is a handcrafted vegetable-tanned leather crossbody bag designed for everyday use: compact, structured and crafted to last. Made from aniline-dyed leather, it preserves a natural finish that evolves beautifully over time.

Defined by its trunk-inspired silhouette, it brings a distinctive presence while remaining practical for daily use and informal evenings.

Structured yet comfortable, it holds its shape while remaining soft and easy to carry. An adjustable and detachable leather crossbody strap allows for hands-free wear, while its compact form can also be carried by hand when desired.

It includes a set of hand-braided leather charms that can be added or removed, allowing the bag to shift from a more expressive statement to a cleaner, more minimal look.

The top zip closure keeps belongings secure while maintaining a clean appearance. The interior is designed to organize essentials without adding bulk.

Crafted from 100% vegetable-tanned cow leather, dyed with natural anilines to preserve its authentic character. Our materials are carefully sourced from some of the finest tanneries in Argentina, where this time-honored leatherworking technique has been perfected over generations.

Soft, rich and naturally expressive, this leather is designed to age with you. Over time, gentle creases, marks and subtle shifts in tone will appear: not as flaws, but as a reflection of its journey.

With every use, the leather develops a deep, unique patina, making each bag one of a kind.

To maintain its natural beauty, avoid prolonged exposure to water. If the leather gets wet, gently pat dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.

Occasional care with a leather cream can help nourish the surface and enhance its depth of colour. Always test on a discreet area first to ensure the desired finish.

Store your bag in a dry place, preferably in its dust bag, to preserve its structure and protect the leather over time.
