Soft First-Layer Leather Shoulder Bag

Softness you notice before you notice the stitching. First-layer cowhide gives this shoulder bag a supple, gently slouched body that settles close under the arm, while clean lines of topstitching hold the retro shape in place.

The horizontal square silhouette keeps its poise whether you carry it to a morning meeting or an evening table. Inside, a polyester cotton lining holds a zipped pocket, a phone slip and a zipped divider, so cards, keys and a compact sit apart instead of tangling. A sandwich pocket on the outside takes a travel card or a folded receipt within easy reach.

One strap, worn over the shoulder, keeps the bag high and close, which leaves both hands free for a coffee and a notebook. It reads best against tailoring, a plain knit or a long coat, and the deep neutrals work quietly with everything already in your wardrobe.

Choose from black, brown and coffee. The listed dimensions are 32 by 13 by 22.
