Short description
All occasion crossbody sling
Boo, the handcrafted crossbody sling bag is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re heading out for lunch or enjoying an evening out, Boo is your ideal companion. It’s spacious enough to fit a book but small enough to be easy on your shoulder and chic enough for evening outings.
This exquisite bag is made of burlap and leather.
Burlap is derived from the jute plant, making it a biodegradable and eco-friendly material. This rugged fabric is washed with stone chips to remove excess fibers, creating a smoother texture, and then dyed to achieve vibrant colors. The result is a beautiful, soft fabric that stays true to its sustainable roots.

Details
Crafted by Artisans
We have partnered with The Burlap People in Kolkata to create this eco-friendly burlap bag. They have a rich legacy of enhancing the aesthetic and utilitarian value of jute, being pioneers in screen and block printing on jute in India. Their skilled artisans, many of whom are third or fourth-generation bag makers, handcraft our bag collection with advanced weaving, dyeing, printing, and embroidery techniques. The result is a unique, beautiful bag that highlights the eco-friendly nature of jute.
Eco-Friendly Leather
The leather is sourced from larger leather manufacturers’ surplus, often rejected due to color discrepancies or surface irregularities. These materials are cleaned and upcycled for our bags. Our leathers include a mix of virgin, upcycled, scrapped, and salvaged pieces.
Product Care
Spot clean for minor stains and dirt. Avoid machine washing. For heavy dirt, we recommend dry cleaning. Each bag comes with a sling dust bag to store the bag when not in use.

About the brand
Urban Medley supports traditional weaving and printing forms. Their designers help the artisans to balance tradition with contemporary designs, and help them to commercialize using their age- old methods and production processes. The beautiful scarves and accessories from Urban Medley are made by small communities of weavers and printers from India. The weavers mainly work from home, whereby they determine their own working hours. The printers work in a small workshop with pleasant working conditions. Urban Medley uses organic, black cotton, 'peace' silk and organic leather for their products. The brand does not want to be bound by age, gender, race, color or even size, therefore accessories have been chosen as the main focus point. The accessories help you shape your own style. The ‘take care’ bags too are environmentally friendly: fabric bags made by women working from home in a village of Tamilnadu. These women can therefore support their family without having to step out. The brand helps you to be a proud and conscious fashionista.
