Description
Line & Proportion
A soft pouch silhouette defined by a gathered drawstring top—rounded volume, calm proportions, and a gentle drape that looks intentional rather than slouchy. Designed to sit close to the body while keeping the shape quietly present.
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
Supple and smooth to the touch, with a relaxed structure that settles naturally. The drawstring closes with a light pull; the strap feels secure for all-day wear while the body stays comfortably soft.
Presence in motion
The design is built around movement: the gathered opening creates subtle folds that shift with every step, giving the bag a lived-in elegance. Minimal hardware keeps the focus on form and material—quiet from afar, tactile up close.
Materials & Care
Materials
Imported leather exterior with drawstring closure and metal-tipped cords. Clean finishing and precise gathering keep the top line neat while allowing the body to drape.
Over time
Expect the leather to develop a softer hand and a more personal look with wear, especially at touch points and along natural folds. Avoid prolonged moisture, oils, and friction against rough surfaces. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after use; store in a dust bag and loosely fill the body to help preserve its 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

This piece is part of our edited, small-batch production in Imported leather exterior with drawstring closure and metal-tipped cords. 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.
