Description
Line & Proportion
A crescent-shaped tote in original saddle leather—clean curvature, a grounded base, and a quiet volume that reads refined from every angle. The long handles extend the line upward, balancing the rounded body with a light, architectural lift.
Cultural dialogues around this piece
This silhouette appears in our visual stories that look at crossings, pauses and the quiet distance between arrivals and departures.
It is part of our ongoing study of presence — of how a clear line can frame motion without hardening it.
How it feels
Dense, smooth saddle leather with a dry, structured hand. The body holds its form while softening subtly at the handles over time—confident, not stiff; supportive, not heavy.
Presence in motion
Designed around a single continuous curve: a calm open top, precise edge finishing, and visible stitching that frames the silhouette without decoration. The bag moves as one piece—steady on the shoulder, sculptural in profile, understated up close.
Materials & Care
Materials
Original saddle leather exterior. Cleanly finished edges and reinforced handle attachments, with visible stitching that emphasizes the arc line.
Over time
Expect a discreet patina: gentle burnishing at handle touch points and along edges as the leather becomes more personal while staying composed. Avoid prolonged moisture and direct heat; wipe with a soft cloth after use. Store in a dust bag and lightly fill the base to maintain the curved silhouette.
Fit & Wear
Fit notes
- Structured-soft volume with an easy opening line and a stable base.
- Holds daily essentials with room to breathe—keeps the silhouette clean even when filled.
- Top handles are designed for comfortable hand carry; the height keeps the bag balanced against the body.
Best for
Day-to-night essentials with a sleek profile. Underarm carry that reads polished, not loud. Styling tailored looks, minimal dressing, or leather outerwear. Adding texture contrast to clean silhouettes
Sustainability
Sustainability
This piece is part of our edited, small-batch production in original saddle leather exterior. We design it to last across seasons, and we share clear care guidance to ensure the fabric remains soft, structured, and wearable for years to come.
The SELVANE standard
Every SELVANE piece is held to the same discipline:
- Drawn within our “architectural, never rigid” language — quiet lines that hold space without stiffening the body.
- Cut and finished in focused, small runs, so each silhouette can be refined and repeated rather than endlessly replaced.
- Described as it is: where it serves you best, and where it does not.
If a piece does not meet this, it does not carry the SELVANE name.
