The Hobo bag, better known as shoulder bag, is characterised by its wide and short handle. How do you recognise it? The body of the bag is slightly elongated and is usually wider at the bottom, tapering towards the top.

They are bags for all kinds of occasions, and can be found designed with an infinite number of materials. The usual Off-White bag is designed in Nylon and available in 4 different colours so you can choose the one that best suits your style.

Handbag or Clutch

Handbags, clutches or envelopes are those that are carried without a chain or handle, hugging the body. They are reminiscent of the pouch bag, a type of bag that resembles a toilet bag because of its tiny size and the strap designed to be carried by the wrist.

They are very comfortable for special occasions such as weddings or events. Although they are usually designed with materials that are more reminiscent of luxury, nowadays we can find them in all types and for all occasions.

Crossbody Bag

The bags known as Crossbody Bags are ideal to complete a casual and trendy look. Due to their prints and colours we usually see them more in summer, although their versatility makes them more and more popular in streetstyle also in autumn and winter.

They are large bags (without being XL size) so it is very comfortable to carry them crossed. They are the most recommended type of bag for travelling and spending long days discovering new places.
