Two years ago, we discovered Cuyana, the California-based company started by two friends whose motto is “fewer, better things.” Their leather totes and travel bags are ideal for work, play and weekend getaways, and it has been exciting to watch their company grow…
Their new cinch shoulder bag is one of our favorite things they’ve done. I love how it looks like a bucket bag, but with a magnetic closure. It’s buttery soft and made in Italy with premium leather.
Here’s Caroline with the black bag. It comes in three colors. (Which would you choose?)
The tassel is an easy way to add flair to any of their bags. Cuyana can monogram up to three letters or symbols on it. Like the bag, it’s also made in Italy with soft Italian leather.
In addition to classic monogramming, Cuyana also just introduced quotes as part of their bespoke collection. They chose two phrases: “The Adventure Begins” and “Always Choose Love.” (They’re letting customers choose a third phrase. Leave a comment below with any suggestions!) The phrases can be added to their soft leather zipper pouches, passport cases or travel case sets.
Aren’t they lovely? See all Cuyana bags here, if you’d like.
BONUS for all readers: Cuyana is offering complimentary monogramming on anything with the code CUPOFJO through November 30th.
And for local readers, Cuyana is hosting a pop-up, opening this Friday, at 120 Wooster Street in SoHo. Here is the page for more info. They’ll have cinch bags and tassels there, and will be doing live monogramming every day.
