► A Note on Water-Dyed Leather

Water-dyed cowhide is dyed to achieve a soft, natural look, so slight variations in shade, grain and surface character from bag to bag are normal, as are fine natural marks and creasing. The leather is soft and relaxed rather than rigid, so the bag will slouch slightly and develop character with use. Lighter shades are best kept away from dark dyes such as denim.

► Styling Tips

Wear the Black or Brown for the office with tailoring and knitwear, the Grey for a modern minimal look, and the Purple or Yellow as a statement piece with neutrals. The Small works as a polished everyday handbag, while the Large is a travel-ready carryall.

► Care Instructions

Keep away from water, oil and prolonged direct sunlight. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and apply a leather conditioner occasionally. Stuff lightly with tissue and store in a dust bag to hold its shape.
