It is highly prized by collectors for its signature "liquid" drape and tactile feel. Material & CraftsmanshipFlat Mesh Tiles: The exterior features a specialized enamel coating over brass or aluminum base links, which provides a glossy, high-shine black finish.

Convertible Design: The signature gold-tone chain is interwoven with a black ribbon strip. This strap is designed to be fully tucked inside the main compartment, instantly transforming the crossbody bag into a sleek evening clutch.
