Everyday shoulder carry in a compact suede bag
This dark brown suede shoulder bag is made to be carried on the shoulder, with a single arched strap that attaches at both sides and features adjustment holes for a customizable fit. Its minimalist design is accented with a gold-tone jewel and zipper, and the strap hardware is detachable. A simple option for carrying your essentials hands-free while out and about.[1,2,3]
Wear it hands-free as a crossbody
The Gaia Suede Bag pairs its grab handle with a removable, adjustable crossbody strap, so you can switch to hands-free carrying when you're out and about. Adjust the strap for a comfortable fit, and detach it when you'd rather carry the bag by hand. Made in Italy from genuine suede, with a full-length zip and an interior patch pocket to keep essentials in reach.[1]
Hand-carry with a wrist strap
Use the Gaia Suede Bag as a grab-and-go bag when you'd rather carry it by hand or wrist: it has a grab handle, and a narrow leather wrist strap attaches near the top with a knotted detail meeting a metal clip.[1,2]
