Our jae solid walnut handle. We’ve worked with our master craftsmen to improve the design and minimize wood waste in creating our modern-day Bermuda bag. Made from solid walnut, it's nearly the same as our first edition handle, but with the addition of solid brass rivets that attach the handle to the wood base. The handle works with all of our liners and slipcovers (sold separately) that come in Shortie, Medium and Long sizes to create a complete bag. Handles feature solid brass hardware in a natural finish that develops a beautiful patina over time. Solid brass buttons are reminiscent of upholstery nailheads, brass hinges feature ball finials, and the handle is attached to the wood base with durable, brass rivets. Magnets inside the handle help keep the handle securely closed. Wear it over your arm or clip a shoulder or crossbody strap onto the d-rings inside the handle. The handbag handle comes with a cotton dustcover for storage. (Liners, slipcovers and strap not included.) The jae walnut handle measures 11 5/16" wide x 1" deep x 6 1/2" high; handle opening 4 3/4". We recommend that you tighten the brass button/screws and hinges periodically as you might do with cabinet hardware. Even though the solid, natural walnut used in our handle is covered with a Danish oil finish, it’s living, breathing material that responds to the environment around it. Wood can expand and contract with changes in humidity, and change color over time with exposure to air and sunlight. This results in very natural, beautiful changes over time. We recommend storing our handles in the dustcover out of direct sunlight in order to maintain original quality and hues.
