2. Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Banana

Sade Royal Box Bag in Tangerine

A dramatic and fun statement piece! For when you're feeling a lil' extra. Did we mention that she's a total head-turner?

 

Why We Love Her

Finally, the ultimate structured box bag with super chic style and supreme design all in one. With multiple interchangeable handles, go from clutch style scrunchie, add on an acrylic funky handle, or use the long leather strap for an easy, effortless option! Made of the highest quality responsibly sourced leathers. Designed to go from day to night, and built to last a lifetime with the right kind of care and love. 

 

How to Style Her

The great thing about a statement piece is you can get away with wearing anything you want because your accessory will be doing ALLL the work.You just have to sit back and enjoy the compliments. We recommend pairing the Sade Royal Box Bag with our fresh summer-ready Poppy Checkered set in Stone and our ethically chic Tau Bow Sandal in Orange Zebra to complete the look.

3. For the Love of Patterns

The Pouch

We're a little obsessed with patterns and The Pouch in Zebra & Black leather is no exception!

 

Why We Love Her

The Pouch is perfect for those who don't want the fuss of carrying a bigger bag with them (we get it). Almost any outfit will compliment the black and white stripes of this bespoke gem so feel free to get WILD!

 

How to Style Her

Pair the ethically chic Pouch in Zebra with our new Mila Synch Dress in Black for an elevated, formal look. We LOVE a matching moment so dare to be wild in our Lala Mule in Zebra to match your pouch.
