Product Insights
The Candy Leather Baguette Bag from MANSUR GAVRIEL presents a pleated calfskin baguette silhouette that creates moving light and shadow, distinguishing it from smooth competitors like the Polène Number Nine. Made in Italy's Veneto leatherworking region, this compact 12-inch bag fits daily essentials and secures under the arm without strap slipping, a trend from the best-selling Candy Hobo. Its logo-free exterior features only a small gold stamp, and the pleated leather holds its shape with use, offering immediate comfort without break-in. The main tradeoff is a price of 995 CAD, about $200 more than the Polène Number Nine, for Italian craftsmanship and unique texture.

I still love this bag a lot! The quality is fantastic and it’s surprisingly roomy. I haven’t had issues with slipping but I do have broad shoulders.
