The BOREEN Box Bag derives its name from the Irish term for "little road" or "cow path". Its appliquéd stripes and graphic panels mirror the organic shapes found along the meandering laneways and rural paths in our surrounding environment.
We utilised silk off-cuts and remnants to create these fabric 'lane-ways' as well as chunky cotton corduroy salvaged from a a 1950's suit.
BOREEN is a versatile piece which will work day to night. It has ample room for everyday essentials such as laptops, books and wallet and features a large internal pocket with contrast velvet trim, perfect for your phone and keys. Fastens with a zip closure.
All of our products are designed and produced by a small female team in Co. Donegal, Ireland. Each product comes beautifully boxed and includes a cotton dust-bag for future use. Due to the nature of the fabrics we use, all items are limited edition. BOREEN is one of five.

REUSE & RECREATE: The textiles we use in our collections come from a range of sources which aim to reduce our environmental impact. We primarily use vintage and antique textiles. We also utilise salvaged and remnant fabrics from the fashion and interiors industry. As well as deadstock fabrics for lining.
As such, there may be small imperfections or blemishes in the fabric. We believe this is part of the appeal of buying a unique, handcrafted product, and we celebrate the idiosyncrasies. Any significant issues will be noted on the product listing.
CARE DETAILS: We recommend dry cleaning on all of our products. Velvet doesn't love the rain, so please take care in wet weather and make sure to keep the bag covered. The bag will dry out normally from water marks if caught in a shower.
Avoid Overloading: Do not fill your bags beyond their capacity. This can strain the seams and straps. Our midsize box bags are perfect for everyday essentials or nights out on the tiles.
