Compact yet incredibly functional, the Nolita is the ultimate one-for-you, one-for-them bag (because sometimes you need to treat yourself, too).

With multiple ways of wearing and plenty of styles and materials to choose from—think classic pebbled leather, casual Signature Denim and soft suede—there’s a Nolita for everyone. Read on for what makes the Nolita a thoughtful, always on-trend gift, whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else.

Lightweight and easy to carry, the Nolita is thoughtfully crafted to fit the essentials like your phone, keys, cards and even some makeup without sacrificing style. Head out the door with only your lighthearted plus-one in hand for carefree yet put together style day in and day out.

Designed for Living

When it comes to gifting a handbag, the more versatile, the better. If you’re not sure what type of bag your recipient prefers, choosing a convertible style is always a safe choice. With the ability to be worn as a shoulder bag, wristlet or even packed within a larger tote for added organization, the Nolita is designed to adapt to your ever-evolving style through all phases of your life.

Investment-Worthy Craftsmanship

While more approachable than larger styles from a budget perspective, mini bags still feel special and elevated. With a high-quality, durable design, the Nolita 19 is built to last a lifetime, ultimately lowering cost-per-wear over time. It’s an investment-worthy style that offers that same luxe feel of a full-size bag without being over the top.

Style for Everyone

If you’re not certain of your recipient’s personal style, you can’t go wrong with a mini bag. Playful in nature, their small size offers more space for experimentation with new designs. From classic black pebbled leather that goes with everything to playful mint suede that makes a statement, the Nolita is bound to put a smile on their face. And personalization doesn’t have to stop there—make their Nolita truly theirs with bag charms and straps that speak to who they are.
