Handbag – Léon

The Léon handbag is a highly functional design, created to showcase a pretty print. This is enhanced by a combination with a plain fabric, creating a balanced look that’s easy to coordinate.

When it comes to how to wear it, the choice is yours:

• a fixed strap,
• or two combinable and removable straps, allowing you to carry Léon on your shoulder, across your body or even as a rucksack.
  In both cases, the straps are adjustable in length.

Practical for everyday use, Léon offers plenty of storage space and fastens with a zip. Inside, you’ll find a divided patch pocket. Two D-rings allow you to easily attach an accessory (wallet, keys, inner pouch, shopping trolley token holder, etc.) using a carabiner, for example. Its reinforced base is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear.

An extra little detail: a discreet D-ring on the front allows you to personalise your bag with a bag charm.
