It’s compact style together with the fashionable croc print finish makes it the ultimate glamorous companion day or night. 

Our Miranda bag is the perfect size to wear cross body or as a small shoulder bag with internal space for essential cards, phone and keys. 

Our Carol-Ann slouchy bag is more casual and has the option of 2 shoulder straps according to how you like to carry your bag. 

The choice of styles, leather texture and colour is vast so peruse our shoulder bags and use the filters to narrow down your search. 

 

What size shoulder bag should I choose? 

Ask yourself what you need to carry in your shoulder bag and then work back. If you’re away from home all day at work, then a large capacity shoulder bag may be better to have everything with you. Keys, phone, purse, water bottle and makeup bag for a quick touch up before you go for drinks with friends. If you want a shoulder bag for an event or occasion then a smaller capacity may be more suitable to carry a few essentials. 

 

What length shoulder strap should I get? 

Many of our leather shoulder bags have detachable, adjustable shoulder straps that can be shortened or lengthen according to the wearer. Some even come with a choice of 2 different lengths. We can also punch more holes in the shoulder strap at your request according to your preference. Our classy leather top handle bags can also be worn as a shoulder bag, keeping hands free while you’re on the move. Our Julia chain bags have a leather and chain shoulder strap adding a touch of glamour to this versatile style. You can transform it from a cross body bag into a shorter shoulder strap by doubling up the handle to wear just under your arm. 

 

What colour should I choose?

It’s no longer the fashion to match your shoulder bag with your shoes. You can be creative and express your style by adding pops of colour such as emerald green, pink and orange to classic neutral outfits. Pay attention to the occasion too as a classic black leather shoulder bag is perfect for an elegant dinner or black-tie event. 

 

Which leather texture should I go for? 

Some of our leather shoulder bags are more structured in shape and so leather with a crocodile skin effect embossed onto the surface or saffiano leather that has a criss cross texture are perfect for more rigid styles. A pebble grain leather or nubuck leather is better for more slouchy and casual styles. Our new Victoria bag has a smooth texture that’s perfect both at work and evening events. All our bags come in many colours regardless of the leather type, so the choice is yours. 

 

Which bag for what occasion?
