House 1988’s New Handmade Crochet Handbags

Introducing House 1988’s latest passion project: a line of exquisite, handmade crochet handbags that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern style.

🔹 Premium Materials: Crafted with high-quality cotton or macramé yarn, each bag is reinforced with a leather or vegan leather base and strap loops—echoing techniques seen in popular designs from Dubai and beyond ().

🔹 Artisan Process:

• Locally sourced macramé polyester yarn (approximately 3 mm thickness, ~200 g per bag) provides structure and a tactile look  .

• Our artisans begin by crocheting the body of the bag, creating tight, consistent stitches. They then attach the durable base and strap loops, hand-stitched for strength and elegance—an approach mirrored in global handmade tote styles  .

🔹 Design Sketch & Refinement:

• The design process starts in our Abu Dhabi studio with mood boards and hand-drawn sketches capturing bold UAE aesthetics.

• From there, selected designs are prototyped—typically through 2–3 iterations—to perfect form, balance, and usability before final production.

🔹 Handcrafted in Egypt:

Production takes place under the guidance of skilled Egyptian artisans, known for their expertise in crochet and leatherwork. Each bag is individually handmade, ensuring that no two pieces are identical—celebrating craftsmanship and cultural artistry.
