■CARAT
The new CARAT series is reminiscent of gemstone cutting. It combines triangular pieces to create a classic handbag shape. The side gussets can be folded down to create a plump form. The larger sizes feature a zippered inner pocket, allowing you to safely store valuables such as your wallet or smartphone. Even the small size has an inner pocket, making it convenient for taking small items in and out.
