One of our favourite things about fashion is resurrecting favourite trends from the past.
Our new Canyon Belle shoulder purse is inspired by the baguette-style bags of the early ’00s, but with an earthy southwestern twist!
Baguette bags were originally inspired by how long loaves of baguette bread were carried under the arm by women in Paris.
They exploded into popularity in 2000 with Sex and The City, when Carrie Bradshaw famously corrected the mugger who demanded her sequinned purple Fendi at gunpoint, saying “It’s a baguette.’
Now identified as “Y2K bags”, the iconic crescent-shaped shoulder purses have re-emerged on the scene as the ideal “going out” purse. Small and light enough to carry effortlessly to clubs and cafés, but large enough for personal items like a phone, wallet, cosmetics, and keys.
The Canyon Belle is a baguette bag reimagined in a “wild west” boho aesthetic. Crafted with rich, chocolate brown leather and antique brass hardware, it is gorgeously embossed with a rustic floral motif. The roomy interior features an inner pocket and card holder to organize and easily locate essentials. A zip pocket on the reverse provides convenient access for additional items.
Your choice of strap creates a customizable fit! The purse is available with a petite, under-the-arm strap in true baguette style, or a slightly longer, adjustable strap for those who prefer a traditional length or crossbody option.
The name Canyon Belle calls to mind the vast and majestic gorges of the American Southwest, paired with the natural beauty (belle) of those who embody the untamed country spirit.
This purse is versatile enough to dress up or dress down, and works with denim looks, dresses, cottage-and prairie-core, and beyond! Its embossed pattern of flower and leaves adds a feminine touch in rustic, authentic leather — a classic accessory for any occasion.
The Canyon Belle bag combines the novelty and nostalgia of the early aughts with the trending shape and style of new Y2K bags. And the romance of the wild west.
Available now to order online! Purse measures approximately 4.5” high x 2.5 deep x 11.5” wide. Strap is adjustable.
