Sienne Belted Slouch Shoulder Bag

A soft, roomy shape in a high-shine patent finish, worn tucked under the arm rather than held. The body collapses and folds as you move, so the bag never looks stiff, and the gloss picks up light along every crease.The belt is the detail that defines it. A strap runs across the front with a silver-tone buckle and eyelets, cinching the middle and giving the slouchy body a waist. That single line turns an easy shape into something with structure, and the loose belt end left hanging adds the slightly undone feel the design is built around.The wide opening takes everything you carry without a struggle, and an interior compartment divides the space so smaller items stay findable. The shoulder strap is cut to sit close under the arm, keeping the bag against the body instead of swinging.Wear it with a trench, an oversized shirt, or tailoring. Patent black adds shine to matte fabrics like wool and cotton, which is where the contrast reads best.Key benefits Patent finish adds shine and depth, and stands out against matte coats and knitwear Belt with buckle gives a soft body real structure, no other styling needed Slouchy build holds a lot and still looks relaxed rather than overpacked Interior divider keeps small items separated in a large open space 200 g, light for its size, comfortable to carry under the arm all day

Coussin Pillow Bag

A compact pillow-shaped bag in high-shine patent black. The body is rounded and slightly puffed rather than squared off, so it looks softer in the hand than a structured mini bag while still holding its form.The gloss is what makes it read expensive. Patent reflects sharply against matte fabrics like wool, cotton, and trench gabardine, so the bag lifts a neutral outfit without any other accessory. Silver-tone hardware runs along the top zip and the handle anchors, cool against the black rather than warming it the way gold would.The zip runs the length of the top and opens the bag wide, which is rare at this size. Inside, a hidden zip pocket holds cards and valuables, a phone pocket keeps your screen reachable, and a divider splits the space so nothing pools together. A short top handle carries it in the hand, and the shoulder strap takes over when you need both hands free.Wear it with a trench, tailoring, or denim. Black patent works day and evening without changing bags.Key benefits Patent finish adds shine against matte coats and knitwear, so a small bag still registers Wide top zip opens the full length, easier to reach into than most bags this size Interior divider plus hidden zip and phone pockets keep a small space organised Two ways to carry, top handle in hand or the shoulder strap Black patent moves from daytime to evening without a second bag

Baguette Shoulder Bag

A slim baguette shape with a rounded top handle, cut to sit under the arm and follow the line of the shoulder. The proportions are what make it read expensive: long and low, with the handle arched high enough to slide on without a struggle.The surface has a soft satin sheen, somewhere between matte and gloss, so the black has depth instead of looking like a flat panel. A single gold-tone push-lock sits at the center of the flap and finishes the front. Nothing else is added, which is why the shape stays the focus.The lock presses closed and releases with one push, quicker than a zip and easier one-handed. Inside, a phone pocket and a patch pocket keep the essentials separated instead of pooling at the bottom.At 24 × 9 × 11 cm it takes a phone, cards, and a compact without bulk. At 280 g it stays light on the shoulder through a long evening.Key benefits Slim baguette shape sits close to the body and lengthens the shoulder line Push-lock opens and closes one-handed, faster than a zip Satin sheen gives the black depth rather than a flat surface 24 × 9 × 11 cm holds phone, cards, and a compact, sized for evenings and light days Two interior pockets keep small items findable

Petite Structured Top-Handle Bag

A small structured bag with a classic silhouette, the kind that reads formal without effort. The proportions are the appeal: a short top handle, a squared body, and a flap that comes to a point at the center, all held tight enough that the bag keeps its shape empty.The finish carries a fine pebbled grain that catches light softly and hides small marks better than a flat surface. Tan sits warm against the gold-tone hardware, and the turn-lock at the front is the only ornament, centered and sized to read as a detail rather than a statement.The lock opens with a twist and closes with a click. Inside, a phone pocket keeps your screen reachable, and an exterior open pocket takes a card or a key without opening the flap. The long strap lets you wear it crossbody, and the top handle takes over when you want the bag in hand.At 19 × 7 × 13 cm this holds phone, cards, and lipstick. It is a bag for dinners, events, and days when you carry little on purpose.Key benefits Structured mini shape holds its form empty, so it always looks intentional Two ways to carry, crossbody on the long strap or in hand by the top handle Turn-lock closes with a click and keeps the front clean 19 × 7 × 13 cm fits phone, cards, and lipstick, sized for evenings and light days Pebbled finish hides small marks better than a smooth surface

Nova Flap Bag

The same compact retro shape, now in solid black with gold hardware. Without a color break, the eye goes straight to the line: the curved flap, the clean edges, the rounded top handle set at exactly the right width.Black makes the hardware count. The gold turn-lock sits at the center of the flap and reads as jewellery against the matte surface, while the gold rings and clips repeat the tone across the handle and strap anchors. Nothing else competes.The turn-lock opens with a single twist, faster than a zip and quieter in a room. Inside, a zip pocket keeps cards and keys separate, and the structured build holds the shape whether the bag is full or nearly empty. The detachable strap turns it from a top-handle bag into a crossbody, so one piece covers a workday and a dinner.This is the version that goes with everything you already own. Black and gold work with tailoring, denim, and evening dressing without any thought.Key benefits Solid black with gold hardware, the easiest combination to style across a whole wardrobe Turn-lock opens with one twist and acts as the single focal point Detachable strap switches between top-handle and crossbody, two ways to wear one bag Structured build holds shape even when the bag is not full Black hides everyday marks better than the pale and two-tone versions

Underarm Baguette

A slim underarm bag in high-shine patent black, cut with a curved base and a short strap that holds it tight against the body. This is the shape that sits in the gap between a shoulder bag and a clutch, and it reads more deliberate than either.The patent finish is the whole point. It reflects sharply against matte fabrics, so a small bag still registers next to a blazer or a wool coat, and the curve of the base catches light differently from the flat front panel. A single gold-tone clasp sits at the top edge as the only hardware.The magnetic closure snaps shut with no zip to pull, which suits a bag you open one-handed while carrying something else. The medium-to-soft structure keeps a clean line when full and flattens against the side when it is not.At 24.5 × 7.5 × 14 cm it holds a phone, cards, and a lipstick. At 130 g it is one of the lightest bags you can wear, so a full evening never feels like carrying anything.Key benefits Patent finish adds shine against matte coats and knitwear, so a small bag still stands out 130 g, light enough that you forget you are wearing it Underarm strap holds the bag close to the body instead of swinging Magnetic closure opens one-handed, no zip to pull 24.5 × 7.5 × 14 cm fits phone, cards, and lipstick, built for evenings and light days

Baguette Bag with Frame Clasp

An elongated horizontal silhouette that reads as considered from the first glance. This baguette holds its shape and sits close to the body, creating the line that makes an outfit look pulled together.The smooth single-tone surface stays free of decoration, so the proportions do the work. Slim handles keep the body visually light, while the gold-tone frame across the top acts as the single accent and gives the piece a slight evening character.The frame clasp opens with one click, no hunting for a zip pull. At 28.5 × 12 × 11 cm it holds the daily minimum: phone, cards, lipstick, keys. At 500 g it balances a structured shape with comfort on the shoulder.Wear it with a straight coat and black trousers for the office, or with a simple dress in the evening. Brown reads softer than black and works as a warm neutral base.Key benefits Elongated baguette shape that sits close to the body and lengthens the line Frame clasp opens in one motion, easier than a zip Gold-tone hardware as the single accent, nothing over-designed 28.5 × 12 × 11 cm fits daily essentials without extra bulk Clean single-tone surface that moves from day to evening

Classic Baguette

The same elongated silhouette, now in black with gold hardware, the pairing that carries the most weight. Black sharpens the shape: the straight top line and the tapered sides read more defined, and the bag holds its own next to tailoring.With no color to distract, the gold frame becomes the whole point of interest. It runs across the top edge and catches light against the matte finish, so a simple shape ends up looking finished rather than plain. Slim handles keep the body light and let the bag sit close under the arm.The frame clasp opens with one click. At 28.5 × 12 × 11 cm it holds the daily minimum: phone, cards, lipstick, keys. At 500 g the structure stays comfortable on the shoulder.Wear it with a black suit for a single clean line, or use it to sharpen denim and knitwear. Black and gold also make it the easiest of the three shades to take into the evening.Key benefits Black and gold gives the strongest contrast of the color range, evening-ready without effort Defined silhouette that pairs cleanly with tailoring and holds shape all day Frame clasp opens in one motion, easier than a zip 28.5 × 12 × 11 cm fits daily essentials without extra bulk The most forgiving shade for daily wear, marks and denim transfer show less than on pale finishes
