Small black leather crossbody handbag.
Made in a gorgeous Italian vegetable tanned black leather, our Beatrice bag is a perfect everday bag. With a roomy inner slip pocket (big enough to fit a phone and keys), an adjustable crossbody strap (with brass slider for changing length from long to short shoulder length) and a brass turn lock fastening, Beatrice is large enough to fit a water bottle, wallet, keys and phone.
Beatrice is named after Beatrice Shilling - one of the first women to study Electrical Engineering in Manchester in 1929. Beatrice Shilling went on to invent the restrictor orifice which permitted World War II Spitfire and Hurricane pilots to perform nosedives without their engines cutting out and crashing the plane. Her invention is thought to have saved many lives and contributed greatly to the outcome of the war.
