Yup its a crossbody bag and a clutch. Isn’t that amazing. You can detach the gold and the leather strap which you can switch up based on your outfit and mood. But you can also remove both and wear this bag as a clutch.
The pouch like style of the bag is trendy yet the silhouette is classic and ageless. So, if you are not a fan of leather, this bag would be perfect.
The adjustable straps is what sold me. You can make it into a shoulder bag or wear it as a crossbody. But I feel like once you wear it as a clutch, you won’t go back.

The vintage gold tone is a perfect contrast to the shiny leather finish. It would look great with sequin outfits as well as prints and patterns.
