Spikes & Sparrow Leather Handbag – Lisa – Dark Brown

Spikes & Sparrow Lisa dark brown leather handbag for women

The Spikes & Sparrow Lisa in dark brown 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 warm dark brown colour, the soft silhouette and the dirty silver metal details give the Lisa a bold yet sophisticated 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 the bag comfortably in your hand, on your arm or over your shoulder. With the included detachable and adjustable strap, you can also wear it crossbody.

Compact bowling bag with a distinctive shape

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

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 refined detail makes the bag a pleasure to carry and gives the design a polished finish.

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

Hand-dyed dark brown Apache leather

The Lisa is first fully assembled and only then hand-coloured and waxed on the outside. This creates vibrant variations in colour depth, sheen and texture. The seams and stitching also gain extra nuance thanks to this traditional finish.

Apache leather is supple, thick, relatively light and soft. The material moulds nicely to its contents and feels comfortable to carry. At the same time, the leather is sturdy enough for intensive daily use.

As each bag is finished by hand, every dark brown Lisa may vary slightly in shade and colour distribution. These natural variations make each piece unique.

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 few care products;
• Small personal accessories.

The elongated bowling bag shape makes it easy to organise your everyday items side by side. Thanks to the wide zip, you can open the main compartment wide and quickly see what’s inside.

Well-organised layout with secure zipped compartments

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

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

The slip pocket is handy for your mobile phone or card holder. You can keep smaller valuables safe in the zipped pocket. The key cord keeps your keys in one place, so you can find them quickly.

There is an extra zipped pocket on the back. This pocket is ideal 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 it. You can carry the Lisa in your hand, on your arm or over one shoulder. The leather tube connector holds the handles together and ensures extra comfort when carrying.

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.

Dark brown Apache leather that becomes more and more personalised over time

The dark brown colour is applied by hand once the bag has been fully assembled. This can result in subtle variations in shade, sheen and texture. These variations are part of the artisanal finish.

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