Some bag shapes come and go. The half moon keeps returning, because the curve does something a rectangle can’t: it follows the body rather than sitting against it.
A half moon bag has a curved base and a straighter top edge. Worn on the shoulder or under the arm, the curve sits into the waist rather than standing proud of it, which is why it tends to flatter.
It also has practical advantages. The widest part of the bag is in the middle, where things naturally settle, so it holds more than its footprint suggests while staying slim against you.
Our Evie Half Moon is our take on the shape, made by hand in leather chosen for how it ages rather than how it looks on day one.
It’s a bag that suits being used constantly. The leather softens with wear, the colour deepens, and the shape settles into how you carry it. Our guide to how leather ages explains what to expect over the first year or two.
Enough for a day out without becoming a holdall: phone, purse, keys, a lipstick, sunglasses. It’s the bag for when you want your hands free and don’t want to be carrying more than you need. Our guide to making the most of a small bag is worth a read if you’re used to carrying more.
On the shoulder, worn short. The most flattering way to carry it, with the curve sitting at the waist.
Under the arm. Slightly more relaxed, and it keeps the bag close in a crowd.
Crossbody, where the strap allows, for walking and travelling. Our guide to the everyday crossbody covers that way of carrying.
Add a twilly to the strap or handle and the bag changes character completely. It’s the easiest way to take a daytime bag into the evening.
Tan is the one most people reach for first, and for good reason: it goes with more than black does and improves visibly with age. Our guides to styling a tan leather bag and choosing your perfect shade go into the options.
Our bags are handmade in England from full grain leather. That matters most over time: full grain keeps the surface of the hide intact, so it wears in rather than wearing out. See why full grain leather is worth the investment.

Yes. The shape holds more than it appears to, and worn short on the shoulder it stays close and out of the way.
The curve is forgiving. Adjusting the strap so the widest part of the bag sits at your waist is what makes the difference.
Loosely stuffed, in a dust bag, away from direct sunlight. Our bag care page covers it.
