the kind that hide a hangover and a heartbreak. A small note on why it earns a place in the the bag edit edit.

There is a particular kind of object that does its work in the background — quietly, daily, without ever announcing itself. This is one of them.

It sits in the the bag edit category for a reason. The materials, the weight, the finish — they all read as cared-for without reading as expensive. Which is, increasingly, the only thing worth caring about.

The price band sits between ₹800 and ₹1,600, depending on the day and the small sales that come and go. We have linked to the version we would buy ourselves.
