Bess combines elegance of shape with a versatile design; it is a compartmentalised bag in which it is easy to store and find your essentials for out and about. The best secret of Bess is kept inside, the colour-matched de Jouy printed linings of each bag, depicting country scenes, follow a tradition that dates back to the 17th century. They are exclusively woven from 100% organic cotton sourced in France. The Bess bag has two straps: one short, non-removable, with which you can carry the bag over your shoulder; the other long, removable, which allows you to carry it cross-body if so desired. This model of the Bess bag is made with 1. 2 mm cowhide leather, in morello cherry colour. As all our bags, it is manufactured in Spain, from where all the leathers we use in its production are sourced. Outside - 100% Cowhide Leather Inside - 100% Organic Cotton Should you wish to clean your handbag, begin by gently brushing the surface with a soft-bristled brush to remove any dust or loose particles. Next, apply a leather-specific moisturising cream using a cotton cloth. Allow the product to sit for a few minutes, then carefully remove any excess. We recommend storing your handbag in a fabric dust bag at all times, to allow the leather to breathe and to preserve its condition.
