These handbags are the talk of the town!  They’re all made in Manhattan of cowhide leather that gives them an on-trend, soft hand feel, the silver hardware lends a hip twist, and each comes with a special feature that makes it stand out from the rest!

• Gusset zippers (right) allow for expandability and extra room

• You can wear this slightly structured handbag (left) 4 different ways: crossbody, flap crossbody, flap with chains, or clutch…talk about versatile and funky!
