Once owned by a woman who wore Chanel Nº5 to the bakery, Colette is not here to be subtle. With its croc-embossed leather, structured silhouette and vintage kiss-lock clasp, this 1960s gem is a walking contradiction: polished but wild, elegant but sharp. It’s the handbag equivalent of ordering a martini at noon — unapologetically glamorous.
The black patent leather finish has just enough shine to turn heads but not blind them, and the brushed brass details add a layer of cinematic drama. Inside, it’s lined in soft grey suede and has a zipped pocket and a side compartment — because style without function is just theatre.
This is not your everyday handbag. Unless your everyday involves art galleries, secret meetings and stolen glances. Just saying.
