Messenger Bags

Casa Lopez messenger bags for women have a slim profile and an almost square body: a day's things fit without the bag gaining bulk against the body. Argentine cowhide worked by hand in Buenos Aires.

The flap covers the full width of the front and closes over a clean body with no pockets or appliqués — on some models the only metal on the whole bag is the strap buckle. The strap is adjustable and worn crossbody.

It is a format that sits flat against the body and does not shift while walking. Over the months the flap marks the fold of the closure and the front begins to shine where it rubs.
