Product Insights
The Le 31 Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag is a Simons exclusive with a 'designed in Canada' tag, offering a premium story at a sale price of $29.95 that beats many basic canvas pouches. Its flexible polyurethane coating reduces cracking by conforming to contents and molds to shape after a few uses, while the compact profile sits flat against the hip. With a 12.5-inch length and 4.5-inch depth, it fits small tablets and daily papers but not a 13-inch laptop. Faux leather typically lasts 3-5 years with regular use and requires conditioning every 6 months, avoidance of heat and sun, and cleaning with a damp cloth—tradeoffs for its affordability and style.
Verified claims
- Value
- Sale price of $29.95 beats many basic canvas pouches.
- Origin
- Le 31 is Simons' private label and is tagged 'designed in Canada,' which distinguishes it from anonymous budget imports.
- Capacity
- 12.5 length and 4.5 depth fit a small tablet and daily papers.
- Material
- PU coating stretches to accommodate items; typical lifespan 3-5 years.
- Lifespan
- Faux leather lasts 3–5 years under regular use, a category limitation not a defect.
- Flexibility
- The polyurethane coating has inherent stretch, so the bag flexes around loaded items rather than holding a stiff, boxy shape.
- Device fit
- A 13-inch laptop may fit lengthwise but is likely too tall for the 7-inch height; tablets fit easily, and letter-size documents folded in half slide in without bending.
- Hip profile
- Compact profile sits flat against the hip, avoiding bulge under a jacket.
- Break-in
- Molds to fit the shape of items like a water bottle or tablet after a few uses.
- Cleaning
- Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap; never machine wash or submerge.
- Maintenance
- Condition every 6 months with faux leather conditioner; store away from heat and sunlight.
- Capacity
- The main compartment has a calculated volume of roughly 6.5 liters (394 cubic inches), enough for a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, and a few small accessories, but too slim for a bulky hardcover book or an over-ear headphone case.
- Depth fit
- The 4.5-inch depth accommodates items with some thickness—a rolled-up scarf, a small paperback, or a compact umbrella—unlike many flat crossbody bags that only hold a phone and wallet.
- Durability
- The faux leather is generally less durable than genuine leather and is prone to peeling, cracking, and flaking over time, especially with frequent use.

Everyday shoulder carrying with an adjustable, removable strap
Carry this Le 31 faux-leather shoulder bag over the shoulder using its single wide strap, which adjusts to suit your preferred drop. The strap attaches at each upper corner with swivel clasps, so you can adjust it for a comfortable fit or remove the strap entirely when you would rather carry the bag by hand.[2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag: Choose this if you want a compact, animal-material-free everyday shoulder bag: this Le 31 design, exclusive to Simons and designed in Canada, comes in black pebbled faux leather (polyurethane shell) with silver hardware and a matte finish. It measures about 12.5 inches long, 7 inches high, and 4.5 inches wide, with a single top zip, an internal zip pocket in a brown fabric lining, and an adjustable, removable strap with clasp attachments. It is offered in one size and one color only.[1,2,3,4] | Slouchy Faux-Leather Half-Moon Bag: Choose this for a relaxed, slouchy half-moon shoulder bag in supple, crinkled polyurethane faux leather, sized about 12.5 inches long, 9 inches high, and 6 inches deep. It suits everyday carry with an adjustable crossbody strap, a full-length top zip, and an interior with both a zip pocket and a slit pocket. It comes in one size, in black or brown, in a Le 31 design made in Canada.[5,6] | Braided Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag: Choose this if you want a slim, black or brown crossbody/shoulder bag with a woven faux-leather look rather than genuine leather. The braided diagonal-weave body measures about 11 inches long by 10.75 inches high and 2 inches wide, with a zip main compartment, an exterior zip pocket, interior zip and small inner pockets, and an adjustable, removable strap with silver-toned swivel clips. Note the flat profile is slim and appears unpadded, so it suits carrying small essentials rather than bulky items.[7,8,9,10] |
