Bag Notes
The Brand

Handmade in Tenerife • Ocean-Inspired

Straight from the salty shores of Tenerife, these Chicharros Bags by Costurilla are bursting with island charm and hand-stitched character. Each one is lovingly made in Costurilla’s small seaside atelier, where every appliqué fish is cut, sewn and finished by hand — meaning no two are ever quite the same.

The “Chicharro” (blue scad fish) is a bit of a local legend in the Canary Islands — and this playful collection pays homage to that heritage with a wink and a wave. Sturdy cotton canvas, colourful detailing and a roomy, functional shape make these bags perfect for hauling your WIP, your beach kit, or your everyday work/school stuff.

Why We Love Them
- 100% handmade on the island of Tenerife
- Each fish appliqué is individually hand-stitched — every bag is one-of-a-kind
- Durable cotton canvas with strong handles and colourful detailing
- Ethically made in small batches by a tiny team who love the sea as much as we do
- (A perfect match for the “Just One More Row” vibe)

Each bag is unique — variations in colour and stitch placement are part of the charm!
From the Atlantic-kissed island of Tenerife, Costurilla brings us a fresh wave of small-batch, sea-inspired creations.

Each piece is hand-cut, hand-stitched and full of heart — created in a tiny atelier where craftsmanship meets ocean passion.

Their designs celebrate marine life and coastal culture, especially the unique fauna of the Canary Islands. Whales, fish and playful ocean motifs are rendered in thoughtful appliqué and embroidery — wearable art that honours the beauty of the sea.

At Tribe, we love Costurilla’s shared spirit of adventure and sustainability. They’re a small, independent brand doing big things with integrity, imagination and salt-sprayed soul — just the way we like it.

Handmade in Tenerife. Inspired by the ocean. Loved by the Tribe.
