Handbags
Bags from four workshops that publish where their leather comes from. Every fitting on these is stitched or screwed rather than glued, which is what makes a repair possible in ten years' time.
Which silhouette actually suits you
- Tote
- Open-topped and flat-bottomed. Best if you carry a laptop or a day's worth of things and want to see everything at a glance.
- Shoulder bag
- A fixed or short strap sitting under the arm. The most comfortable option for long days on foot because the load stays close to the body.
- Crossbody
- A long adjustable strap worn across the torso. Hands entirely free, smaller capacity, and the safest choice in crowds.
- Clutch
- No strap, or a slim detachable one. Holds a phone, a card case and a key — an evening bag rather than a working one.
