Created in celebration of the 40th anniversary of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation

 

20% of all sales from the Jacaranda Collection are donated directly to the Foundation,
supporting their ongoing work in research, equipment, projects, and compassionate care.

About the collection
The Jacaranda Collection – After Dark was designed as a tribute to the people who work around the clock to care for others. Doctors, nurses, researchers, support staff, and carers whose work continues long after the sun has set. Jacaranda trees are a familiar and comforting presence on The Prince Charles Hospital campus. Over the past four decades, they have offered shade, shelter, and moments of beauty for patients, families, and staff alike. When the Foundation was established in November 1986, the jacarandas would have just finished their annual bloom.

After Dark is a tribute to the vital work that continues throughout the night, often unseen, but always essential. It honours the dedication, compassion, and resilience of those who keep people safe and supported during all hours. This collection is very limited. Pieces will be added to my website as they’re completed.

Size

Description
This Jacaranada-inspired crossbody tote is designed with a balanced look front and back. It features a removable crossbody strap. This bag has been treated with a gentle protective spray that is water-based, fluorocarbon-free, and it helps protect the bag from light rain, spills, and everyday marks without changing the look or feel of the fabric.

Details
• Corduroy upholstery fabric (outer)
• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, 100% cotton feature panels
• Waterproof Cordura lining
• Double ring zipper pull
• Rose gold-coloured hardware
• Removable matching crossbody strap

Please Note
Each MeganGaea bag is lovingly handmade, making every piece truly one of a kind. Due to the artisanal nature of the process, slight variations and minor imperfections may be present. These unique characteristics are a testament to the craftsmanship and individuality of your bag, adding to its story and charm. All bags are crafted from beautiful fabrics, and unless stated otherwise (like waterproof cordura or water-resistant materials), they’re much like your favourite clothes, they may stain or mark if not treated with care. A little love goes a long way in keeping your bag looking its best. Thank you for supporting handmade design!

Gift Wrapping
All bags come beautifully gift-wrapped.

Care Instructions
Thank you for choosing a MeganGaea handmade bag! To ensure your bag stays in great condition, please follow these care guidelines:

Spot Clean Only: Use a damp, soft cloth with mild soap to gently clean any spots or marks. Avoid soaking the fabric to maintain the bag’s shape and integrity.
Avoid Machine Washing or Dry Cleaning: Machine washing or dry cleaning can damage the fabric and cause the bag to lose its structure.
Protect the Hardware: While the stainless steel hardware is durable and resistant to tarnish, you can wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its polished appearance.
Keep Away from Excess Moisture: Prolonged exposure to water or high humidity may affect the bag's fabric or finishes.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your bag in your MeganGaea dust bag provided, and keep in a cool, dry place.
Avoid Overloading: To maintain the bag's shape, avoid overstuffing it with heavy or bulky items.
