This bag was inspired by the timeless elegance of vintage design and features a classic kiss-lock closure and a structured silhouette. When I designed this piece, I wanted to capture the charm of retro accessories while ensuring it meets modern needs. The compact yet spacious design lets you carry your essentials in style, making it perfect for both casual outings and more sophisticated events.

Features and benefits:

  • Classic leather construction: A luxurious finish that adds timeless elegance to any outfit.

  • Front pocket with twist lock: A secure and stylish detail for quick access to your essentials.

  • Vintage kiss-lock closure: A nostalgic design that brings retro charm into the modern world.

  • Fits phone, wallet, makeup items, and iPad mini: Compact yet roomy enough for all your daily needs.

  • Detachable short strap/handle: Offers versatility — carry it by hand or as a crossbody bag.

  • Adjustable shoulder strap: Ensures comfort and flexibility for over-the-shoulder wear.

  • Dimensions: 18.8 cm (W) x 22.9 cm (H) x 8.9 cm (D), compact yet perfect for keeping your essentials close.

A note from Elena Mercer: I wanted this bag to feel like a special piece — one you can carry with confidence, whether you’re heading to brunch or a meeting. The kiss-lock closure lends a touch of nostalgia, while the modern features keep you organised and stylish. I hope this bag brings a bit of vintage charm to your everyday adventures.

    How is your jewelry made?

    Each Elena Mercer bag is crafted with precision and care. We use high-quality leather, solid hardware and hand-finished edges, with close attention to every detail. Our timeless designs are made to last for years, and every bag is carefully inspected before it leaves our workshop.

    How should I care for my bag?

    To keep your leather bag looking its best:

    • Keep dry: Avoid rain and spills. If it gets wet, blot (don’t rub) and let it air-dry away from heat.
    • Avoid lotions & perfumes: Oils, hand sanitisers and fragrances can stain leather.
    • Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper care, use a neutral leather cream sparingly.
    • Store smart: Keep in a cool, dry place inside the dust bag, stuffed lightly to hold its shape.
    • No overfilling: Prevent stretching and stress on straps and seams.
    • Mind the sun & heat: Prolonged exposure can fade or dry the leather.
    • Hardware care: Wipe metal parts after use to reduce tarnish.
    • Colour transfer: Be cautious with dark denim or fresh dyes.

    If you’ve got any questions about leather care, contact us — we’re here to help.

    Do you offer free shipping?
