The most useful bag in a wardrobe is rarely the largest. It is the one that holds its composure through a full day of appointments and still looks considered across a dinner table. Our vegan leather day-to-evening bags are cut for precisely that arc — compact, cruelty-free, and finished with detail that reads as well in daylight as it does after dark.
One bag for both halves of the day
These are not bags built to swallow a laptop. They are sized for what genuinely travels with you — phone, cardholder, keys, a lipstick — and shaped so the silhouette stays clean when full. The Indie crossbody measures 16cm high and 23cm wide, with a zip closure and an interior zip and flat pocket that keep small things ordered rather than lost.
The strap does the changing, not the bag
This is where the collection earns its name. The Indie arrives with three interchangeable crossbody straps in PU, cotton and chain, while the Eloise carries four, including a chain shoulder strap. Trade the cotton strap for the chain on the way to dinner and the same bag shifts register entirely. It means one bag can carry a working day and a dinner without either feeling like a compromise.
Four ways to wear the Elodie
The Elodie top handle crossbody offers four configurations from a single piece: a PU top handle with link detail, a plain PU top handle, a link handle on its own, and a long adjustable crossbody strap. Carried by the handle, it reads as a structured day bag; lengthened across the body, it becomes something easier and more relaxed.
Considered finishes that hold up in low light
Gold hardware, a black and white cotton lining and clean zip closures run through the collection, with a bamboo top handle on the Catalina for something a little more sculptural. These are the details that decide whether a bag looks appropriate at seven in the evening, and they are the ones we spend the most time on.
The vegan leather behind the finish
Every piece is made from premium polyurethane, a cruelty-free alternative chosen for its suppleness, its resilience and its lower environmental impact than PVC. It is lighter to carry than traditional leather and low-maintenance by nature, which matters rather more in a bag you intend to wear several times a week.
