DESCRIPTION
Exposed to so many beautifully crafted pieces through her global travels, Amal witnessed and supported so many artisans who continue to employ and pay homage to traditions of exquisite luxury craftsmanship, inspired designs, and breathtaking touches of contemporary innovation.
With the popular KERMA Travel and Leisure bag, Amal wished to extend the men’s line further with the launch of the “GOLD AND GEMS" collection.
Responding to this positive feedback from male clientele, Amal wanted to explore the principle of functionality of the Brand to include a contemporary fitness-oriented bag while maintaining luxurious craftsmanship in mind.
Inspired by the popular AIDA Bag design, the MJ OCHRE STONE Bag separate zip-bottom compartment is designed to place your exercise trainers/sneakers, separating them from your exercise wear.
Included as well, is the transparent Toiletries Case for storing liquids such as shampoos, soaps, lotions, and more. Of course, the MJ Bag is versatile enough for both men and women.
**With its stylish yet functional design, we are also noticing that some of our clients are using the MJ Bag for travel as well.
Whether it is our current GOLD and GEMS Nubian civilization-inspired collection today or future designs, our leisure bags will continue to have an artistic flair, always emphasizing craftsmanship and always embodying her global influences.
Inspiration and design
The OCHRE STONE Bag was designed as another MEDANI signature style piece - with versatility of use in mind.
As is inherent in all MEDANI designs, functionality is combined with minimal elegance for today’s fitness requirements.
The inspiration behind the three colors' emanates directly from the earthy palettes of the Sahara Desert, presumed to be the daily shades of color in existence around the times of the Ancient Nubians.
Ochre Stone for the Nile’s bank’s soil, Azure Dusk for those last hours of sunset, and Coal Black for the often used obsidian black rock for statues used by the Ancient Nubia’s artisans.
Taking inspiration from such old civilization' innovative and luxurious craftsmanship, Amal feels that her collection would be a perfect medium for others to seek out and learn more about these often forgotten ancient creative legacies.
Handmade in Italy, the MJ OCHRE STONE Bag’s interior compartments are handcrafted to keep your phone, wallet, and more in place.
The MJ Bag comes with a transparent Toiletries Case to include your on-the-go shampoos, lotions, etc. to complete your fitness needs.
The MJ bag is highly versatile in its design and use and can be easily styled elegantly with formal business wear, casual wear, or sportswear.

CARE
The MJ OCHRE STONE Bag is 100% smooth grain leather and will require special handling as, over time, leather may crease and soften, which is part of the natural ageing process.
There may be possible color fading due to the natural ageing process.
To ensure product longevity, wipe with a lightly damp cloth for cleaning, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight, and avoid water.
When not in use, place the product in a dust-bag or box.
