The Soft Margaux 10 Bag in Walnut/Shadow

Soft Margaux 10 Bag

While previous editions examined the Margaux in its larger, grained iterations, the Margaux 10 in Walnut Shadow demonstrates how proportion alters utility. In this compact format, the architectural, luggage-inspired geometry becomes more concentrated. The supple calfskin provides an immediate softness, allowing the gussets to collapse and expand naturally while retaining the bag's signature structural base. The deep walnut hue offers a subtle, non-black alternative that pairs seamlessly with heavy wools and raw denims.

A compact version of the signature top-handle bag, crafted from supple calfskin in a deep walnut brown with contrast shadow-toned lining.
