Medea

They are the same bag in different proportions. The Short is the lower of the two and reads as an everyday carry for a phone, a wallet and the small things, while the Tall stands higher and takes deeper contents without spreading further along the arm. Construction is identical, with squared corners and a flat base that lets either one stand on its own, so choose on the listed height and depth rather than on shape.

The silhouette is the same; the surface is not. The standard bags are smooth leather or calfskin and keep the soft, slightly warm face of dyed calf. The vinyl-covered styles carry a clear coat over the leather, which reads glossier and more reflective and shrugs off rain and fingerprints more readily than an uncoated surface does. Handles, proportions and the flat standing base are unchanged, so the decision is one of finish and upkeep.
