Tips & Tricks
from the studio
We don't believe in THE perfect bag. We believe in YOUR perfect bag.
Leather & Colors
Brown Vintage, Cognac Vintage, Hazel Distressed, Black or Navy Blue are gorgeous choices for the Base. They pair perfectly with a bold Snake, Leopard or any bright color for the body or hinge.
For the Body and Hinge, go for any leather except Distressed, it's the heaviest in our collection and will weigh your bag down.
All distressed and vintage leathers play nicely together, so mix and match to your heart's content.
Light-colored bases are stunning, but they're more prone to stains. A deep base keeps things looking beautiful longer.
A colorful lining is a little secret joy. Dark Blush or Mostaza are beautiful picks.
Love a head-turning look? Mostaza, Dusty Rose, Green Vintage, or Fuchsia bring that unexpected twist that gets noticed. Add it only to the details or hinge to get that sophisticated pop of color.

Details & Compartments
Our most-loved setup includes: a Laptop Compartment, Two Side Pockets, an Outer Zipper Pocket, and a Pen Holder, chosen again and again by our customers for good reason.
Both options help you organize the inside of your bag, but they work quite differently.
The middle zipper pocket is a sewn-in divider with a zipper on top. It splits the bottom of your bag into two vertical compartments great if you like to keep things separated without adding extra structure. Because it's sewn directly into the bag, it can only be added at the time of ordering.
The organizer is removable and has one long compartment and three smaller pockets. You can take it out, switch it between bags, or order it separately later.
Our advice: pick one or the other. Together they tend to get in each other's way — and your bag will thank you for the breathing room.
Up to 8 characters, all CAPS, no dots, spaces, or lowercase. Short and bold always wins.
The outer flap pocket sits on the front of your bag and gives you a quick-access compartment without having to open your bag. Perfect for your phone, cards, or a few folded papers anything you reach for often.
One thing to keep in mind: it does add some bulk to the front of your bag. If you're not sure, go for the outdoor zipper pocket instead same convenience, slimmer profile.
Designing your flap:
You can match it to your hinge color for a subtle contrast, or keep it the same as your body leather so the front of your bag reads as one clean whole. Both work it just depends on whether you want the flap to stand out or disappear.
