Alexandria Leather Cross-Body Bag

Sure, Acne Studios might be synonymous with Scandi minimalism, but plain? Never. The smooth leather and angular silhouette of the Alexandria bag proves it. The shape is all the drama this style needs, so the rest is kept simple with just subtle engraved branding on the flap and knot details on the cross-body strap – which are inspired by traditional Japanese obi sashes, you know. The pared-back design is a breeze to sling over making it the ideal companion for leisurely days.

• 100% cow leather
• Height 13cm, width 18cm, depth 10cm, strap drop 55cm, strap length 115cm
