Spikes & Sparrow Leather Handbag – Lisa – Black

Spikes & Sparrow Lisa black leather handbag for women

The Spikes & Sparrow Lisa in black is a women’ leather handbag with the fashionable shape of a compact bowling bag. The elongated, rounded design is crafted from supple Apache leather and finished with elegant tubular handles. The combination of the soft shape, the hand-dyed leather and the dirty silver metal details gives the Lisa a bold yet refined look.

The Lisa is ideal for everyday use, whether it’s a day at work, a lunch date, an afternoon’s shopping or a night out on the town. The two long handles allow you to carry it comfortably in your hand, on your arm or over your shoulder. With the included detachable and adjustable strap, you can also wear the bag crossbody.

Compact bowling bag featuring the distinctive Spikes & Sparrow design

The Lisa is one of two bowling bags in this Spikes & Sparrow range. The rounded top, elongated base and vertical leather panels give the design its distinctive shape. The bag has a compact and feminine look, whilst the natural Apache leather lends it a rugged, well-worn character.

The tubular handles have a rounded finish and feel comfortable in the hand. The leather tube connector and press stud fastening keep both handles neatly together. This small detail gives the bag a neat, polished look and ensures extra comfort when carrying it.

Are you looking for the same bowling bag style in a larger size? Then the Spikes & Sparrow Dionne is the larger version in this range.

Hand-dyed black Apache leather

The Lisa is first fully assembled and only then hand-coloured and waxed on the outside. This traditional finish creates subtle variations in colour, sheen and texture. As a result, every black Lisa has its own unique look.

Apache leather is supple, thick, relatively light and soft. The material feels pleasant to the touch and moulds itself more and more to its contents with use. Despite its supple texture, the leather is sturdy and suitable for intensive daily use.

The metal fittings are finished in dirty silver. This weathered metal finish complements the warm, vintage look of the hand-dyed leather beautifully.

What fits in the Spikes & Sparrow Lisa?

The Lisa is a practical size for carrying the things you need throughout the day. The main compartment has space for items such as:

• a smartphone;
• a wallet;
• a set of keys;
• a pair of sunglasses;
• a small diary or notebook;
• A selection of care products and accessories.

Thanks to the wide zip fastening, you can easily open the main compartment and quickly see what’s inside. The elongated bowling bag shape allows you to neatly organise your everyday essentials side by side.

Well-organised layout with zipped compartments

The main compartment closes completely with a zip. Inside, you’ll find:

• one open slip pocket;
• a separate zipped compartment;
• a handy key cord.

The slip pocket is ideal for items such as your mobile phone or card holder. You can safely store smaller valuables in the zipped pocket. The key cord keeps your keys in one place, so they don’t get lost at the bottom of the bag.

There is an extra zipped pocket on the back. This pocket is handy for items you want to keep safe yet easily accessible, such as your travel card, mobile phone, keys or card holder.

Carried by hand, over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag

The two tubular handles offer you a variety of ways to carry the bag. You can carry the Lisa in your hand, on your arm or over one shoulder. The tube connector keeps the handles together when you pick up the bag.

If you want to keep your hands free, simply attach the long shoulder strap provided. This strap is detachable and adjustable, so you can wear the Lisa at your preferred height over one shoulder or across the body.

Black Apache leather that becomes increasingly personalised

As the bag is hand-dyed after assembly, there may be slight variations in colour depth and sheen. These variations are part of the artisanal finish and ensure that no two bags are exactly the same.

With use, the Apache leather gradually becomes more supple. Small creases and signs of wear enhance the vintage look and, over time, give the Lisa an increasingly personalised character.
