Black Gathered Faux Leather Top Handle Bag with Crossbody Strap
A soft faux leather bag with a gathered body and a knotted top handle drawn through the gather, built without an internal frame. Four colours in one size, with a shoulder strap and a crossbody strap included.
Four shades out of one short run, and they do not empty evenly.
At the deli counter, close range
Lunchtime at a food counter is a tight queue — people stand a forearm apart, and the bag is between you and the glass the whole time you are deciding. A gathered body with no hardware anywhere on it moves when you move, which is what separates it from the stiff rectangles either side of you.
The knot at the top is what the person behind you looks at twice. It is a handle that was tied rather than bolted on, and there is nothing shiny to explain, so the reading is about the hand that chose it. You come away from the counter as the woman with the soft black bag, not the woman in the queue.
Soft reads as confident at close range.
A knot drawn through the gather
The body is faux leather, soft and gathered rather than cut flat, and there is no internal frame holding it open. It fills out at the sides and draws in at the top, so the shape comes from the way it is gathered instead of from a structure inside it.
The top handle is knotted and passes through the gather itself, which is the detail the hand finds first. There is no external hardware on the body at all — nothing to catch a sleeve, nothing to polish — and both a shoulder strap and a crossbody strap come with it.
Three ways to carry one soft body
- A soft gathered body with no internal frame
- A knotted top handle that passes through the gather
- No external hardware anywhere on the body
- A shoulder strap and a crossbody strap, both included
- One size, offered in four colours
Four colours, one soft shape
Listed at the top of the page as black, creme, brown and red, all in one size. The gather, the knot and both straps are the same whichever you take.

Four shades, and the gather sets the pace
A gathered body is sewn and set by hand rather than pressed over a frame, so each colour is made in a small quantity. Black and creme empty first and the lot is not evened out afterwards, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose a colour above and add it to the bag. Fourteen days to return or exchange if the shade is not the one.
