Brothers bag some of Astrid’s legacy

First, a pair of enterprising brothers launched handbags made from the sails of a magnificent old tall ship which ran aground, and sank, a year ago off Cork.

Now they have issued another line of designer handbags — this time made from the ship’s life-rafts.

Mamukko, a company founded by Hungarian bothers Levente and Attila Magyar and based in Kinsale, have now created 65 bags of various designs and sizes from the training vessel Astrid’s life-rafts.
