Handmade construction
Every Zemvo bag is made by hand in Boston by independent artisans.
Our story
Handmade bags with a character of their own.
Zemvo is a Boston-based collection of handmade bags created with a focus on distinctive textures, balanced color and practical everyday shapes.
A focused collection, thoughtfully considered.
Zemvo works with a group of independent artisans in Boston. Together, we create a focused collection of five handmade bags, each with its own silhouette, materials and fixed color palette.
Our collection is prepared in advance and held in ready-to-ship inventory. We do not currently offer personalization or made-to-order options, allowing us to concentrate on the construction and character of each existing design.
The construction
Texture is part of the design.
Material and construction influence how every Zemvo bag looks, feels and holds its shape. Macramé, jute, cotton yarn and chenille textures give the collection its varied tactile character.
Product pages identify the materials, dimensions, hardware and care information relevant to each individual design. Customers can review those details before ordering.
Our approach
What defines Zemvo
Considered color
Each design has its own fixed palette, selected as an integral part of the finished bag.
Clear product details
Materials, measurements, colors and care information are provided on each product page.
Individually made
Small variations are part of handmade work.
Because our bags are made by hand, minor variations in measurements, texture, pattern placement and finish may occur.
These details are a natural part of handmade construction and contribute to the individual character of each piece. They are not necessarily product defects.
