If your style philosophy is "less is more", the Satchel Handbag かばん is for you. Cutting a sleek and simple silhouette, this handbag features a timeless tuck lock, flap closure. Even though it has a flattering slim design, this handbag is spacious and has slip pockets on the exterior back and lining--keeping your everyday needs in mind. As the season gets colder towards the end of the year, we also offer an exclusive, limited-quantity faux fur flap option for the handbag. The faux fur flap gives the bag an even more distinctive look--expressing warmth, cuteness and sophistication at the same time. With an adjustable bag strap, you can carry the handbag crossbody or on your shoulder. Accessories are all of standard bronze and we offer a variety of chic or cute Japanese fabrics for your choosing.
