Strand Leather Shoulder Bags

The Strand is a softly structured bag worn on the shoulder or in the crook of the arm, for days when you want to carry a little more and still look put together. It measures 30 x 22 x 12cm with a 17cm handle drop, and is handcrafted in 100% full-grain grained leather with an adjustable buckle top handle, a magnetic front fold closure and a zip compartment on the back for a phone or ticket. The main compartment expands with poppers when you need the extra room, and inside there is a zip side pocket and an open side pocket. Lined in easy-clean fabric and finished with signature gold hardware, it suits anyone who wants a smart shoulder bag that still holds a day's worth of essentials.

The Strand is £159.95 and comes in black, navy, stone, maple, slate blue, burnt rhubarb, chocolate plum and dark maroon, plus a woven raffia and leather version in maple for warmer months. Its nearest relative is the Wilmington saddle bag, which shares the front fold magnetic closure and top handle but is smaller at 25 x 19 x 10cm and rounder in shape; the Strand is wider, deeper and sits more upright.

Every Strand comes with two free straps of your choice and a keyring, worth £63, plus a dust bag. It is covered by a 365-day warranty and 30-day returns, and UK delivery is free on orders over £70.
