Elevate your style with an unique VALAIS BAG.
Each handbag is carefully crafted by hand, ensuring a level of quality that cannot be matched by mass-produced bags. You can feel the difference in the fibers and appreciate the attention to detail.
The elegant, simple and cute bags are made in the municipality Bettmeralp, a mountain village and ski resort below the famous Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps.
Our bags are adorned with original works of art by MM Dogarth, making each bag a unique masterpiece – you won’t find these designs anywhere else. The original artworks with various motifs are painted on small wooden plates. The main used material are natural fibers (jute or cotton), bag handles are usually made of climbing rope and every bag is crocheted.
We use only the highest quality natural fibers, making our bags not only beautiful, but also lightweight and durable. Our bags feature climbing rope handles, adding a touch of adventure to your everyday style. They are also incredibly strong and comfortable to hold. Did you know that there are no crochet machines and therefore every bag can only be made manually?
The designer MM Dogarth comes from a well-known Viennese artist family in the fifth generation. She has painted more than 5,000 pictures, including many famous personalities from fashion, politics, art and culture.
Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom was delighted to receive a VALAIS BAG with the motif of her favorite horse “Desert Hero” as a birthday present.
