Its consistent popularity with customers has repeatedly earned it iconic status within the brand. Created through the sculptural construction of multiple layers of leather, the result is an intricate shell-like shape, connected with luxurious gold dome fittings. Double gussets at the sides allow easy access to the interior of the bag, while a single strap and a snug top closure will keep your belongings secure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shell Bag is lined with soft lambskin leather and offers ample space for all evening essentials. A polished brass ring serves as the bag's handle and is ideally sized to slip over the arm, freeing up your hands to hold your cocktail glass, greet guests, light a cigarette, etc. Vegetable-tanned cowhide leather, solid gold-plated brass fittings, and brass screws at the back make it a true piece of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize, Composition \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne size\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Everything is entirely handmade by designer Úna Burke in her studio in Ireland, using full-grain British and Italian vegetable-tanned cowhide leather and solid gold-plated brass.
