A classic was born

Shoulder bags aren't just designed in one simple form, in fact, they come in a range of different styles, like a hobo, messenger and crossbody bag. Throughout the world, luxury handbags are manufactured from a mixture of materials such as vegan leather, traditional leather, suede or fur, then finished with a variety of hardware and strap designs.

The shoulder purse invented itself in the 1930's as a result of individuals needing to carry heavy loads. However, from the 30's onwards its design characteristics developed tremendously, and iconic couturiers such as Tom Ford and Saint Laurent began manufacturing emblematic shoulder bags that are still apparent today.
