Leather Handbag

Vegetable tanned calf leather from Scully, a leather house since 1906, tree bark tanned so it starts matte and firm and glows with wear. The clever bit is a zipper that runs from the top down the side, so you can open the bag wide for easy access when you need it.

Front and back pockets outside, a secure zip pocket and credit card slots inside, plus a metal key loop. The strap has a sturdy clasp and a 24 and a half inch drop, so it works on the shoulder or crossbody. Compact but roomy enough for a full day.
