Medea

A short handle sits in the hand or over the forearm rather than on the shoulder, which is why these bags suit outfits where the line of the arm matters. Held down at the side, the squared shape reads formal; carried in the crook of the elbow, it softens considerably. Some styles include a detachable longer strap for crossbody wear, so check the drop measurement if you need your hands free.

Keep it away from prolonged sun and damp, both of which change the tone of dyed calf permanently. Wipe dust off with a dry, soft cloth and treat marks quickly, since matte finishes absorb oils faster than glazed ones do. Store the bag lightly stuffed and upright in its dust bag so the base and corners keep their shape. Pale leather also picks up dye transfer from raw denim, so watch what you wear against it.
