Midi Mayfair Bag in Smooth Tan & Chevron Raffia
Already carried by Jessica Alba and Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery, this reimagining of the popular Mayfair Midi uses woven chevron raffia and tan leather edging, complete with the brand’s signature shield lock in gleaming gold and a beige grosgrain lining. Carry by the top handle or wear cross-body with the detachable leather strap which can be monogrammed with your initials for the luxe touch.
Small Henley Tote in Navy & Ivory Chevron Woven Leather
This classy tote contains two phone-sized pockets in the interior and its soft, unstructured shape allows for you to pack as little or as much as you need. Use it for balmy beach to bar days on holiday then stow away gym kit or overnight essentials when you’re back on home turf.

Large Essential Flat Pouch in Natural Chevron Raffia & Smooth Tan
A thoughtful gift for the keen traveller or a couple setting off on honeymoon, this pouch is available in three colourways and will helpfully keep your passport and travel documents to hand or contain valuables within a larger bag.
