Lemaire — Mini Fortune Croissant Bag

Mini Fortune Croissant Bag in Alpaca Nubuck

Lemaire’s Croissant bag is a study in ergonomic form. Composed of curved, topstitched leather segments that follow the contour of the torso, it is engineered to rest closely against the ribcage. In brushed alpaca nubuck, the leather absorbs light and acquires an extraordinary velvet-like patina with wear. It is a functional object that behaves like wearable sculpture.

An ergonomically paneled crescent bag crafted in tactile ebony brown alpaca nubuck leather with knotted strap detail and metal zip closure.
