Myra Bags: The Story Behind the Brand & Why We Love Them

Myra Bags: The Story Behind the Brand & Why We Love Them

Meet Myra Bag: Handcrafted Style with a Story to Tell

At Paperplay Inverloch, we're always on the lookout for products that are a little bit different — things that are beautifully made, genuinely useful, and have a story worth sharing. Myra Bag ticks every one of those boxes.

Founded in the USA, Myra Bag has built a devoted following among women who love accessories that are as hardworking as they are beautiful. Each bag is handcrafted using a combination of rugged canvas and genuine hairon leather — a material made from cowhide that retains the natural hair of the animal, giving every bag its own unique pattern, texture, and character. No two Myra bags are exactly alike, which is part of what makes them so special.

What Makes Myra Bags Different?

In a world of mass-produced accessories, Myra Bag stands apart. Here's what sets them apart:

  • Genuine hairon leather: Natural cowhide with the hair intact gives each bag a distinctive, one-of-a-kind look. The tones, patterns, and texture vary from bag to bag — meaning yours is truly unique.
  • Canvas & leather construction: The combination of waxed canvas and leather makes these bags incredibly durable — built to handle beach days, market runs, weekend getaways, and everything in between.
  • Thoughtful design: Myra bags are designed for real life, with practical features like multiple interior pockets, sturdy zips, and comfortable straps that don't dig in.
  • Sustainable ethos: By using natural, ethically sourced materials and handcrafting each piece, Myra Bag creates products that are meant to last — not end up in landfill.

Our Myra Bag Range at Paperplay Inverloch

We stock a carefully curated selection of Myra Bags at Paperplay Inverloch, spanning a range of styles and sizes to suit every need:

Weekender Bags

Myra's weekender bags are the ultimate travel companion. Spacious enough for a weekend away yet stylish enough to take anywhere, they feature canvas bodies with hairon leather accents and quality hardware. Popular styles include the Canyon Ridge, the Matty Affair, the Asher, the Forester Junction, and the Sand Weaver — each with its own personality and colourway.

Crossbody Bags

For everyday carry, Myra's crossbody bags are a brilliant choice. Compact and comfortable, they keep your essentials within easy reach without weighing you down. The Point Rock Small & Crossbody Bag is a customer favourite — versatile enough to wear across the body or carry by hand.

Traveller Bags

Perfect for those who love to be organised on the go, the Compact Hairon Traveller Bag is a beautifully structured piece that works as a day bag, toiletry bag, or compact travel pouch. The rich hairon leather finish makes it a standout piece.

The Perfect Gift

Looking for a gift that feels genuinely thoughtful and a little bit luxurious? A Myra Bag is one of those rare gifts that people truly treasure. The natural materials, handcrafted quality, and the fact that each bag is unique make them feel special in a way that a standard store-bought bag simply doesn't. They're a favourite for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, and milestone celebrations.
