Maris Valence

The Valence is for someone who wants a structured handbag with a clear focal point. It carries by a short top handle and comes in two sizes, medium and large.

The leather is woven in wide squares and gives a bold, graphic texture. A metal knot clasp sits across the front, silver or gold on the black, and the colors run from wine and blush pink to pink berry and green.

• Knot clasp: a metal knot across the front is the signature detail.
• Short top handle: a short handle carries it by hand.
• Two sizes: medium or large, to match how much you carry.
• Wide weave: wide woven squares give the leather a graphic texture.
• Ten colors: including black with a silver or gold knot.

Why leather?

A leather bag takes knocks without falling apart. With use it softens, gains character and ages well.

Care

• Brush off dust with a soft cloth.
• Avoid leaving it in a hot car.
• Rest it on its base, not hung by the handle for weeks.

I won't be ordering again, so this is the end of it.
