This Etro messenger bag is what happens when a practical everyday bag gets a full Italian bohemian makeover. Crafted in warm cognac-brown suede covered in the house’s iconic paisley pattern, it has a relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette that feels equal parts vintage traveller, stylish professor and person who always has exactly what you need in her bag.

The large front flap is finished with brown leather buckle details and concealed magnetic fastenings, opening to a spacious interior lined in the most perfect pop of bright orange. There’s also a front pocket, an interior zipped compartment and a zipped pocket at the back, because looking fabulous is important, but so is knowing where you put your keys.

The adjustable jacquard shoulder strap is woven with the ETRO name and Pegaso logo, adding a sporty contrast to the rich suede and leather construction. Silver-tone hardware keeps the whole thing feeling relaxed rather than overly polished.

Paisley has been central to Etro’s identity since Gerolamo Etro introduced the motif to the house in 1981, transforming it into one of the most recognizable signatures in Italian fashion. 

Roomy, comfortable and completely genderless, this is the kind of bag that carries your entire day while making it look like a styling choice.
