The Tibetan Tiger Weekender — Bold, Ancient, Handmade
Inspired by the fierce Tibetan tiger — a sacred protector motif from Himalayan textile traditions, and the seat lamas meditated on — this cotton weekender carries centuries of meaning into your everyday journeys. Each bag is made by hand in Rajasthan by skilled artisans, so no two are identical: slight variations in print alignment and stitch are part of the craft. The story of the print is in Reading the Tibetan Tiger.
Designed for short trips — a long weekend, an overnight, the gym kit, the carry-on. Spacious enough for two or three days of essentials, light enough to swing onto a plane, soft enough to stuff under the seat in front of you.
