JW PEI Cleo Woven Faux Leather Top Handle Bag

Product Insights & Style Tips

The JW PEI Cleo Woven Faux Leather Top Handle Bag is a study in textural cool. The basket-woven finish creates instant visual intrigue, catching the light and giving major modern-baguette energy with a nod to retro silhouettes. Rendered in supple synthetic leather, the feel is surprisingly plush—not stiff—exuding both polish and playfulness. This is the bag you sling across your arm when your outfit wants a hint of easy sophistication, but you’re not here for anything too serious.

What keeps the Cleo feeling so wearable is that dual-strap situation: top handle for mornings when you want to channel ’90s minimalism, and a removable long strap for those hands-free hours when you’re riding the subway or hopping from coffeeshop to gallery. The zip-around closure and interior slit pocket keep your cards and keys tight, with enough internal space to house all the (edited) essentials—wallet, phone, lipstick, and even a slim notebook. The structured body means it keeps its shape even when you’re on the move, and its compact profile perches neatly under the arm or layers easily over a tailored coat or an oversized blazer. It’s a JW PEI signature—vegan, directional, and cool without trying.
