Occasion & Evening Purses
An evening purse has one job: hold the essentials and look the part while you forget about it. For a wedding, a dinner, a party or the theater, that usually means something small, worn across the body or on the shoulder so your hands are free for a glass and a hello. This page gathers the purses that suit exactly those nights.
The City Mini (about 7 x 4.5 x 2 inches) and the Original Mini (about 6.5 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches) are the natural starting points, and the colors here lean toward the dressier end: black with a silver hardware option, ostrich black, leopard print, dusky orchid, French lavender, purple nightshade, Elizabeth Line purple and mango tango, alongside quieter navy, stone and maple. The City Slim is flatter still, for a phone, cards and keys. If the occasion calls for a bit more room, say a daytime wedding or a long lunch, the Sutton Sling, the Wilmington saddle bag and the Edgware shoulder bag all come in black and in richer colors, and the Kensington in black or stone is a neat alternative.
The straps are what make these purses work for evening. Every purse ships with two free straps of your choice and a keyring, worth $77, and a gold chain strap turns a purse you carry every day into one that sits happily next to a good dress. Straps swap in seconds, so the same City Mini can go to the office with a leather strap and out to dinner on a chain. Every purse is handcrafted in 100% full-grain leather by a British leather bag brand, designed in London, with a 365-day warranty. US orders over $100 ship free, with no duties.
