An unstructured shoulder piece that softens with wear. Cut from a single panel so the hide's natural grain runs unbroken from strap to base.
The quietest thing we make. No frame, no lining, no closure to fight — the hide is asked to do all the work, and it answers by taking the shape of whoever carries it. The only gold on it sits inside, where nobody but the owner will find it.
All MBALI hardware — seals, chains, rings, buckles and feet — is cast in solid brass and finished in 24-carat gold. Africa is where gold comes from; we see no reason to hide it in silver.
