01 — Our story
Made for the long humid years.
MYRRA is an independent Kuala Lumpur atelier making small-batch leather bags for life in a tropical climate. One good thing, kept for a very long time.
The Lim family workshop — Ipoh, PerakWhere it began
It started with one wet season.
In 2024, our founder Aina Rahman came home to Kuala Lumpur with a European leather bag that had gone mouldy in a single monsoon. Its lining had peeled and its hardware had tarnished. Next to it sat her grandmother's bag, made by a local saddler in the 1980s — still supple, still in use. The difference wasn't price. It was the climate it had been made for.
Aina found Mr. Lim's family workshop in Ipoh, three generations of leather workers who had quietly been repairing bags for decades. Together they rebuilt the construction from the inside out: breathable cotton linings instead of synthetics, solid brass that patinas rather than corrodes, edge paint tested through a Malaysian wet season. Each bag is cut, stitched and finished by one pair of hands, in batches of fewer than thirty.
We're not making an it-bag. We're making the one you stop noticing — because it simply keeps working.
— Aina Rahman, founder
Fewer, better things
Edited, not endless
A handful of shapes a year, refined rather than replaced. No seasonal drops, no clearance racks — we would rather make one bag properly.
Built for this climate
Tested in the monsoon
Breathable cotton linings, solid brass, hides finished for heat and humidity. A bag sold in Southeast Asia should survive a Southeast Asian year.
Made to be repaired
A longer life
Saddle-stitched construction can be re-stitched, reconditioned and passed on. We care for a bag for as long as you carry it.
02 — In the making
Where we don't compromise.
Three decisions that shape every bag long before it reaches a shelf.
The hide
Vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, left unfinished so it develops its own patina rather than a coating that cracks in the heat.
The hand
Two-needle saddle stitching, edge paint in thin layers, and one craftsperson responsible for a bag from first cut to final polish.
The years
Complimentary cleaning, reconditioning and hardware care for as long as you carry it. Repairs, not replacements.
