The bag is made from a smooth synthetic fibre with the hand feel of soft leather, lined in nylon and a coloured contrast material, and both bag and pouch are water repellent inside and out. The range also includes a cross-over bag.
- Shoulder bags and cross-over bags
- Matching clutch pouches
- Seasonal colourways such as black, denim blue, dusty gold and java brown
