Our crossbody bag takes inspiration from the classic messenger, promising practicality and versatility with its generous space. The sleek curves lend a sophisticated touch — making it a stylish companion for easy weekends and errands. Wear it on the shoulder or sling it cross body.
Bethari bears motifs that are a unique combination of old world and new world. Modern flowers, very likely orchids float on a background of mega mendung, a classical batik motif dating back to the 1800s. Resembling clouds, they represent fertility and life. Put together, these two motifs may come to signify a rich and abundant life. -
