Product Insights & Style Tips

Urban chic with a refined edge, the New York Midi textured-leather tote channels the city’s architecture in a calm, premium grain. The curved top edge and gold-tone hardware give it a quiet-luxury silhouette, while a signature belt-and-clasp detail at the front nods to the brand’s discreet glamour. Inside, the cotton lining keeps everyday essentials feeling polished rather than precious.

Expandable gussets open for daily essentials, secured by a magnetic snap that keeps things tidy as you move from boardroom to brunch. The bag wears double top handles with a 4.75 inch drop and a removable crossbody strap with a 21 inch drop, so you can carry by hand, in the crook of the elbow, or across the body. A structured silhouette sits over a base with protective metal feet, and an interior zip pocket keeps smaller items neatly tucked.

Within the New York line, the midi reads as a versatile city companion that pairs with everything from tailored suiting to relaxed knits. In neutrals like chalk, taupe, and black with gold hardware, it carries a discreet lift from day to night, mirroring the brand’s quiet-luxury codes and its NYC-inspired refined practicality.
