Entry Description

Crafted from ultra-soft waxed Italian calf leather Gretchens’ Ebony Loop Bag is a chic love-forever accessory. Remarkably soft-to-the-touch and avant-garde in shape it is a design investment piece that will pay off a million times. The Ebony Loop bag is Gretchens modern interpretation of the 60ies and will certainly add a fancy sparkle to your wardrobe. Carry it by the top loop for a sophisticated ladylike appeal or wear it with the detachable and adjustable shoulder strap for a hands-free vacation style. This bag will make you look gorgeous in any occasion.

The well-conceived shape is minimalistic and timeless. The handle is reinforced with a stiff material and the flap is padded – this does not only form the silhouette it also makes this bag a long term companion.

The detachable and adjustable shoulder strap is super convenient. It has a magnetic closureand a inside zippered pocket, mobile and open pocket.

Bio

My background is in leather goods, so this natural material is my inspiration. I prefer clean designs without adornments like rivets or studs. For me less is more, and in my designs I strive to bring out the beauty of the material - the leather.
Purist, modern shapes are my trademark. Paired with the unique quality that only traditional craftmanship breathes, each of my bags is a unique item hand-made in Europe.
Keeping in mind above all our customers, I create bags which are practical in use and often offer more than just one way of wearing, eg a shoulderbag that can be worn as backpack.
