Product Information

The Retro Pillow Crossbody Bag from Chic Atelier takes the barrel shape that keeps returning to fashion and keeps it small. At 24 cm long, 15 cm high and 10 cm deep it is an evening and weekend size, and the rounded pillow form gives it a softness that a hard rectangle never has.

It weighs only three hundred and thirty grams empty, which is the number that matters in a small bag - a heavy shell eats into what you can actually carry. The 100 cm strap is long enough for true crossbody wear, leaving both hands free.

Inside there is more than the size suggests: a slot pocket, a phone pocket and a zip pocket, all behind a zip closure. The finish is PU with a polyester lining, decorated with a lettered detail and a light sequin treatment that catches the light without turning the bag into evening wear only. Four colors are available - black, white, brown and green. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, and store it lightly stuffed so the pillow shape does not flatten in a wardrobe. It carries a phone, a card holder, keys and a small cosmetic easily. That is most of what a day out actually needs, without the weight of a full sized shoulder bag on your arm.

A Shape That Keeps Returning

The barrel bag keeps coming back to fashion, and this version keeps it small. At twenty four centimetres long, fifteen high and ten deep it is an evening and weekend size rather than a work bag. Small is what makes the shape look considered rather than bulky. It is a silhouette that has proved it will come round again.

Soft Where A Rectangle Is Hard

The rounded pillow form gives it a softness a hard rectangle never has. It sits against the body instead of pressing a corner into your hip. On a full evening that is the difference between a bag you keep on and one you put down and lose. The shape is doing comfort as well as style.

Light Enough To Forget

It weighs very little, so worn across the body it disappears until you need it. Phone, cards and keys are what it is sized for and that is usually all an evening asks. There is no hardware weighing it down. Chic Atelier kept it small on purpose rather than by accident.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is it?

Twenty four centimetres long, fifteen high and ten deep, which is an evening and weekend size rather than a work bag.

What fits inside?

Phone, cards and keys with a little room over, which is usually everything an evening actually needs.

Is it comfortable worn crossbody?

Very. The rounded pillow form sits against the body rather than pressing a corner into your hip, and it weighs very little.

Will the shape date?

The barrel shape has returned repeatedly over decades, and keeping it small is what stops it looking like one particular season.

How do I store it?

Keep it lightly stuffed so the pillow form holds, and wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth when needed.
