Women's handbags that make you look twice
Each of our bags has something that sets it apart. With RESULTAT, it's the side panel folded outwards that gives it its distinctive shape. INSIDEOUT wears its leather inside out: velvety soft on the outside, smooth and easy to wipe clean on the inside. And MARY P. swings through everyday life with a touch of whimsy, inspired by an evening at a musical.
Which handbag suits you?
For every day:INSIDEOUT holds all your essentials, even an 11-inch tablet, and sits softly against your body. The "Cut Out" handbag is carried by its striking leather handle with a hand-shaped cut-out. Thanks to its pleated base, it holds more than it looks.
When you need room:RESULTAT has two large zip compartments in addition to the main compartment. MARY P. expands thanks to its folds. And the simple leather Tote Bag is more refined than a canvas bag and more relaxed than a classic handbag.
When it can be really big: The long handles of the XXL Shopper fit easily over a winter coat. Its two-tone felt with an outward-facing seam makes it an eye-catcher. The Boat Bag, with its wide base reminiscent of a boat, offers plenty of space and weighs only around 660 grams.
For shopping: For trips to the farmers' market, there's the Shopping Basket in 5 mm wool felt, with a base and handles of buffalo leather.
When it should be soft and casual: The Bucket Bag in slouchy leather closes with a leather drawstring and is worn on an adjustable strap.
When you like to switch: MARY P., "Cut Out", the Tote Bag and INSIDEOUT come with an additional strap. Carry them by hand, over the shoulder or crossbody.
Leather that lives with you
Our leathers are not smoothed over and not coated. They show where they've been touched and develop a patina over time that makes every bag a little more yours.
- Vegetable-tanned cowhide from two German family tanneries, tanned with barks and woods. You can smell it.
- Water buffalo leather, semi-vegetable tanned: heavy, matte and rugged, with vintage character from day one.
- Waxed cowhide that lightens wherever you bend or touch it. Firm enough to hold its shape, soft enough for every day.
Felt that does more than you'd think
Wool felt feels warm and soft, yet it is surprisingly tough. It keeps its shape, protects what's inside, and thanks to its natural lanolin, raindrops bead off at first. It hardly absorbs odours; fresh air is usually all it needs. More in our care instructions.
Some bags live from the combination of felt and leather, others are made entirely of leather or have inner pockets of felt. One thing always applies: genuine materials, no faux leather, no synthetic felt.
Colours
For every model, we've put together combinations of leather and felt that make each other shine. Have your own combination of our materials in mind? Just ask us.
Made to last
A good handbag should stay with you. And if a clasp gives way after years of use, we'll repair it. Because your bag is your bag.
FAQ
Where are the bags made?
In the werktat workshop in Ilsfeld near Heilbronn, Germany. Design and production happen entirely there, from cutting to the last stitch.
Can I wear the handbags over my shoulder?
Yes. Many models come with an additional strap and can be carried by hand, over the shoulder or crossbody.
Which leather do you use?
Vegetable-tanned cowhide from German tanneries, semi-vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather and waxed cowhide. None of them is coated, and all three develop a beautiful patina over time.
Is felt suitable for a handbag?
Yes. Our bags are made of genuine wool felt from 100% virgin wool, not synthetic felt. The benefits:
- wool felt is shape-retaining and protects what's inside
- thanks to its natural lanolin, it is water- and dirt-repellent
- it hardly absorbs odours; airing it out is usually enough
- it feels warm and soft
