Not everyone wants a bag covered in print, and this is the answer to that. The body is a soft grey leather, almost taupe in daylight, and the fabric is confined to the front pocket and the top handle.
The contrast is the whole design. A muted body makes the print read as deliberate rather than decorative, and it means the bag still works with a suit or a school uniform in a way a fully printed one would not.
Two buckle straps hold the front pocket closed over a hidden magnetic catch, so it opens one-handed but does not gape. A full width zip runs across the body above it.

Which size to take
Small is a day bag, enough for a book, a purse and a phone. Medium takes A4 books and is the one most people buy. Large will carry a file and a laptop. Because these are handmade, the sizes vary by a centimetre or two between batches, so if the dimensions matter come and see the actual bag.
Looking after it
Wipe the leather with a dry cloth and work in a leather conditioner every few months. Spot clean the fabric only and do not soak it, the colours are vivid and they will run.
