Vendôme

Two wooden rods span the top of this bag. They’re the first thing you see, and they’re the reason the Vendôme Mini exists. The rods stiffen the opening, provide a carry point, and give the bag its architectural identity — straight lines across the top of a compact body measuring 23 x 10.5 x 18.5 cm. The black textured canvas beneath them absorbs light and recedes, leaving the rods as the focal point. Carry the bag by the leather strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. Remove the strap and carry it by the wooden rods alone for an evening hand-carry that looks like nothing else. The metal clasp at the center front and the corner mounts at the base are clean and even. Inside fits phone, cards, keys, lipstick. This is an evening bag built around two pieces of wood, and that sounds strange until you see it in person — then it makes perfect sense.
