To stay up to date with production progress, join the Wicker Darling newsletter! You can also view updates in our Instagram feed and stories. The anticipated turnaround time on these bags is five months (arrival is estimated for November 2020!).
Flamingo Montoya is our latest bespoke design, designed by Jasmine in Melbourne, and handmade using traditional weaving techniques by our artisans in the Philippines - Monty's primary materials are sustainably farmed and harvested rattan, leather, and linen for his lining.
A vigorous and healthy group discussion on Instagram led to a consensus that Monty (MONTY!!) is a beautiful shade of fuchsia pink, with feathery white over pink on his wings, and a white, black and pink beak.
Lining: loose lining to take advantage of the internal shape of the bag.
Flamingo Montoya weighs in at under 500 grams (what he weighs after you've deposited your shrapnel filled purse and 50 different red lipsticks inside him is entirely your business).
Gold hardware attaches the two leather handles; a bonus 52 inch leather strap (adjustable; can be shortened to 47 inches) can be clipped onto the hardware at the handles to allow for shoulder or crossbody wear of the bag. The handles are 22 inches long end to end, comparable with our other designs.
Monty's body is 10 inches from neck to tail, 7 inches crosswise, has a circumference of 24 inches, and is 15 inches from base to the tip of his head.
As always, your Wicker Darling bag will be delivered with a soft, branded pink dustbag for storage, a rose gold logo pendant, a matching accessory created by another Australian designer, and a hand-numbered and signed collector card.
Worldwide complimentary shipping is offered with all pre-orders, and covers your tracking number and full insurance! Customs and other tariffs are the responsibility of the customer, soz!
Finally, $4 from every purchase will be donated to the Project PEARL Rain Boots Drive: these funds will help buy rain boots for children living in poverty in Manila (rain season has commenced in the Philippines, and with it a higher risk of parasitic diseases - the rain boots help lower the risk!).
