Spikes & Sparrow Leather Shoulder Bag – Anne-Lou – Dark Brown

Spikes & Sparrow Anne-Lou dark brown leather shoulder bag for women

The Spikes & Sparrow Anne-Lou in dark brown is a women’ leather shoulder bag that combines supple Columbia leather with soft suede. The rounded hobo shape, the rich suede and the decorative leather tassels give the bag a contemporary western and boho look. Smooth leather details ensure durability and a refined finish, whilst the suede adds warmth and depth to the design.

The Anne-Lou is ideal for everyday use, whether it’s a day at work, a lunch date, an afternoon’s shopping or a day out in town. The short handle allows you to carry the bag comfortably over one shoulder. With the included detachable long shoulder strap, you can also wear it cross-body if you prefer to keep your hands free whilst out and about.

Columbia leather and suede with a rich contrast

What makes this version of the Anne-Lou special is the combination of two different materials. The supple Columbia leather forms the sturdy details and edging of the bag. The soft suede, on the other hand, gives the design a warm, vibrant texture and enhances its relaxed hobo shape.

The dark brown colour brings the two materials together beautifully. The contrast between smooth leather and soft suede creates a distinctive surface with natural depth. This makes the Anne-Lou ideal for women looking for a practical bag with subtle western and boho influences.

Western and boho details without being overpowering

The leather tassels on the side give the Anne-Lou a playful Western feel. They sway subtly as you walk, giving the bag a relaxed and contemporary look.

The soft shape, natural brown hue and suede front evoke the boho trend, whilst the smooth leather piping, metal rings and neat stitching ensure a refined finish. The subtle metal Spikes & Sparrow logo plaque at the bottom of the front makes the design instantly recognisable without being overly prominent.

What fits in the Spikes & Sparrow Anne-Lou?

The Anne-Lou offers plenty of space for the things you need throughout the day. In the main compartment, for example, you can carry:

• a smartphone;
• a wallet;
• a set of keys;
• a pair of sunglasses;
• a small diary or notebook;
• a pencil case;
• small toiletries;
• a few personal accessories.

The supple hobo shape adapts to the contents, allowing you to make practical use of the available space. The main compartment closes completely with a zip, ensuring your belongings stay securely stowed away whilst you’re on the move.

Well-organised compartments

Inside the dark brown Anne-Lou, you’ll find:

• one open slip pocket;
• a separate zipped compartment;
• two pen loops;
• a handy 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 pen loops provide a designated spot for writing implements, and you can attach your bunch of keys to the key cord so you don’t have to rummage around at the bottom of the bag.

Rear pocket with zip fastening

There is an extra zipped pocket on the back of the bag. As this pocket sits close to your body when you’re carrying the bag, it’s ideal for items you want to keep safe yet easily accessible.

Use the back pocket, for example, for your mobile, travel card, bank cards, tickets or keys. That way, you don’t have to keep opening the main compartment for these everyday essentials.

Can be worn as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag

With its short strap, you can wear the Anne-Lou as a classic shoulder bag. The curved top and soft material ensure that it sits comfortably under your arm.

If you want to keep your hands free whilst shopping, travelling or cycling, simply attach the detachable long shoulder strap. This allows you to carry the bag comfortably across your body. It’s an easy way to switch between a feminine shoulder bag and a practical bag for when you’re on the go.

Dark brown suede with a natural look

Suede naturally has a soft surface and may appear slightly lighter or darker depending on the direction in which it is stroked. These subtle variations are a natural feature of the material and give each bag a vibrant look.

Even slight variations in texture are characteristic of genuine leather and suede. With use, the materials can become increasingly personalised and develop natural signs of wear. Over time, these changes give the Anne-Lou extra character.
