The Riva Underarm Bag

The Riva
A slim underarm bag in polished cowhide, curved to sit close to the body.
Named after the Italian word for a shoreline, the Riva follows a single curve, carried under the arm. The flap traces the line of the body and closes flat, with nothing on the outside but genuine cowhide polished to a soft gleam.
I.
The Details
It is a slim bag — about an inch and a half deep — so it takes a phone, cards and a key fob and keeps them flat against you rather than rattling around. Inside there is a zip pocket, a slip pocket and a key leash; a slip pocket on the back holds what you need without opening it. A zip and hasp keep everything closed.
“One curve, one flap, and nothing more.”

The Palette
Three polished shades: Black, Burgundy and Coffee.
