Carry it in hand or over the shoulder

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Paloma Leather Shoulder Bag: Choose this for a minimalist and elegant shoulder bag crafted from luxurious 100% cow leather, designed with a timeless and balanced aesthetic. This small bag features a rounded rectangular body, gold-tone metal hardware, and a cotton-lined interior with dimensions of 14 centimeters in height, 28 centimeters in width, and 10 centimeters in depth. As a result of its materials, professional dry cleaning is the only permitted method of care.[1,2,4] | Versa Sand Hobo Bag: Choose this for a timeless, minimalist style featuring soft sand-beige suede complemented by dark brown leather details and square styling. This soft-structured hobo silhouette includes a single dark brown leather shoulder strap, an exposed gold zipper, and a signature dust bag. Note that the exterior displays a matte suede-like texture which may feature minor natural shading or faint marks.[5,6,7,8] | Lou Sturdy Striped Tote: Choose this if you want a boxy, rectangular cotton-canvas tote in blue-and-white vertical stripes with the A.P.C. logo printed on the front. Its two long handles (an 11-inch / 28 cm drop) work for both shoulder and hand carry, and the flat rectangular base with gusseted side panel adds depth to a compact footprint measuring about 14.25 inches tall by 11.5 inches long by 3 inches wide, with a small interior patch pocket. Note that the top is open with no closure, so it suits everyday grab-and-go use rather than secure storage.[9,10,11,12,13] |
