Know before you buy
The Berkeley features a removable and adjustable strap, so you can easily switch between a shoulder bag and a crossbody style depending on your outfit.
While compact, the bag is designed to hold your daily essentials, including a phone, wallet, keys, and even a small book.
Because it is crafted from genuine suede, we recommend using a suede protector spray before your first wear to help repel water and prevent stains. Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight to maintain the color's vibrancy.
Yes, the hidden magnetic closure is designed to keep your belongings safely tucked away while maintaining a clean, minimalist silhouette on the exterior.
This bag is made from 100% leather and suede, and it carries a Leather Working Group certification, ensuring the materials are sourced from tanneries that meet high environmental and performance standards.
The hardware is finished with a durable gold-tone coating designed for everyday wear. To keep it looking its best, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth if it comes into contact with moisture or lotions.
