Materials & Care
Hardware
Our hardware is 100% solid brass, made to last forever.
Suede

Care Instructions
Always handle your suede bag with clean, dry hands to help prevent marks or stains.
For light dust or surface dirt, use a soft suede brush or your hand to gently wipe it away.
Regular brushing helps maintain that signature texture and keeps your suede looking fresh.
Try to avoid carrying suede in wet, rainy or very humid weather—moisture can cause staining or color transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your bags structured or unstructured?
We've worked hard to perfect the balance between soft buttery leather with a little bit of structure for longevity and support. Our pouches are all semi-structured, giving them that buttery soft, forms to your body kind of feel, while also standing up on their own. We use a mix of pebbled leather, suede, and veg-tanned mid weight leather that is all supported appropriately to last forever and break in beautifully.
Will the chapstick holster fit my lipstick?
Yes! The chapstick holster has been redesigned to fit all size, shape & length lip sticks, lip glosses, chapsticks, etc. The dimensions are: 1.25"x 3.5"

Can I wear this bag crossbody on either shoulder?
Yes! We've designed our bags to be completely reversible. With the shiny, flat side of the snap strap facing forwards, you can wear your crossbody over your left shoulder and the phone pocket will be in the back.
If you wear your crossbody over your right shoulder, the phone pocket will be in the front. You can choose whichever way you'd like to wear it and the zipper will still be easily accessible. We put our super cute logo on both sides of the bag, so you can wear it any way that is comfy!

I really love the color turquoise so my husband bought me this purse in the smaller size. I also have the saddle tan one- a bit larger size. I love the organization these purses bring to my life!! All the lovely linings and pockets for everything!
I have carried a bag of “stuff” that only saw the light of day when I swapped bags. Who knew I could live to see another day without all that “stuff”? Minimalism is so liberating!
Where do I start? I have been using this Honey Bee bag for three months and I love it! It is a minimalist bag, but I find that I can still carry all of my essentials without overstuffing the bag. It is stylish and practical, and I love the thoughtful attention to design. The lipstick pocket is amazing, the snap side pockets keep items secure and the lining is GORGEOUS. It is almost impossible to find a purse with a cute lining!! I carry an Allett brand wallet (men's nylon ID Wallet), which is a slim wallet that organizes both bills and multiple cards. One downside is that I have to be mindful of weather - raindrops have left water marks, even when treated with Apple Guard spray. I do not carry the bag when the weather calls for rain. However, I suspect that water will damage any high quality leather bag - and the craftsmanship and style of this purse are worth it! This company also has fantastic customer service - it was a very easy process to exchange the first bag I bought (Cherry) for a different color (Honey). Three months in and I would still highly recommend. :)
I've been looking for the right size crossover purse for my body and have finally found it. What really sold me was the strap and verstiltiy of it. It holds everything I need for a day/night outing. I love the feel of the leather and the pockets with beautiful lining are perfect. Buy One for YOURSELF!
Purchased small size & it’s perfect to fit every day needs. Love the adjustable strap; being short it’s always hard for me to find right length.
Leather is excellent quality & love the inside fabric.
I love almost everything about my Bee! The color is gorgeous, the longer strap is perfect for me (I'm only 5'1" and wear it crossbody), T here's plenty of room for everything even though it is on the smaller side. The leather is beautiful even though it is a "second".
The two things I would change: put a zipper on one of the big inside pockets so I could hide my unmentionables, and the outside pocket fits my phone very well, but the magnet isn't strong enough to keep it there. I would suggest two magnets spaced further apart and much stronger.
The interior and exterior craftsmanship of this bag really is beautiful. It’s starting to break in easily and the overall quality is very good. Going to buy myself the next size up as well. Probably better for everyday use.
I debated for a while about which color to get and am so glad I went with the Cognac. I wear a lot of black and was worried it wouldn’t work with it but it does and would highly recommend! I’m already a minimalist and am very pleased with the bee size. Not too big, not too small. Just right for me!
I love everything about this purse! It’s so versatile and holds everything that I need and then some. Have to admit that I’m a little obsessed with it!
The bag is such a great size. I bought it for the pockets and organization. The leather is beautiful and so well crafted. I may need to get the key chain clip too.
Loved the purse its awesome would order again in different color. Very good quality of leather and perfect size. Love the extended strap also. The color cherry is beautiful.
Love everything about it! I ordered the Bee and it holds the large iphone and everything else I need for a night out. It’s beautiful, looks even better in person than in pictures.
Perfect purse for everything I need! I put my credit cards in the zip pocket. Cash in one of the inside “hidden” pockets. No wallet needed! Lipstick, car key, small lotion tube, reading glasses and I’m good to go! It’s a bit tight with my iPhone but the leather is stretching out a bit. Would definitely recommend it. My puppy Maggie got it for me for Mother’s Day -lol!!!
Love the color, cherry, and perfect size for essentials. The adjustable strap makes this bag universal for any occasion! Lightweight, leather beautiful, and organized pockets shows attention to detail. Highly recommend!
I love this bag!! I will admit I thought it was a bit pricey when I bought it but the return policy allowed me to check it out. I am hooked! It really is 3 bags in one, which makes it totally worth the cost! The quality is outstanding. The adjustable/convertible strap is so fun and easy and allows me to switch it up on a whim without any difficulty! I can't tell you how many people have commented on it and love it when I should them how quickly I can change the strap with a few snaps! I got the small one and appreciate its compact size and how it keeps me from overfilling my purse!
I love my cherry bee! The color is beautiful and it’s the perfect size for my lifestyle. I don’t carry a lot of items in my purse so this size suits me well. I like that it has an outside pocket for my phone and inside pockets for other essentials, including one for my chapstick. I went with the extended strap because I like having the option of wearing it long crossbody or short for my shoulder or waist. This was my birthday gift this year from my husband (although I picked it out). I’m so happy with this bag, I know I’ll be using it for many years.
Love my new bag! I’ve been trying this as an everyday bag and it’s made me simplify my purse strategy, which I love. This is going to be my event bag, concerts, festivals, etc, and it’s perfect! I can’t wait to get the wallet, next purchase! I should’ve just got it with the bag, so I highly recommend buying both at the same time! The quality is absolutely stellar. So happy!!
I've enjoyed the Honey Bee I ordered so far....I do think there are a few things I would love to see - RFID protection where the "wallet" goes, for now I have an RFID protected card case that fits perfectly in that pocket. Also it would be nice to have a loop that would hang just inside any of the purses that you could attach your keys to, instead of having to attach them to the outside ring.
Overall, the craftsmanship and the leather are really great! I think I will order the Biggie Bee next, for travel especially, since it might have just a bit more room, since the Bee doesn't have a lot of "extra" space.
I wore it on Mother's Day for the first time. Loved it!!
I ordered the Sky Bee. Since I no longer have to carry everything for everyone it is the perfect size for me. I will be taking it to Portugal in the fall! It took me a long time to decide on this purchase, so glad I went for it.
This was a Mother’s Day gift to myself. Of course I’m allowed to move into it the day that it arrives!! I’ve been carrying this since opening the package. I love it more than I thought I would. I ordered the Bee size because the one Bee that I have is suede and I wanted options for different weather conditions. This size is perfect for my everyday carry as long as I don’t have both my personal and work phone with me. Otherwise, no issues fitting what I need inside. The bag itself is gorgeous. The leather is soft. The flowers are perfect. The navy is super dark- like midnight and the contrast with the flowers is what draws me to the bag. The inside is plain soft toasted almond color material. As always, the inner organization aspects are user friendly. I love this bag so much!! Thanks for the gift, me!!!
Like I said, each time you take your new Bee, out of its pouch…it’s magic! This one is unique and special. This is a “one of a kind” and definitely a stand-out! One side is that beautiful buttery navy leather & the other with that flower embroidered side. The lining is that rusty coral color, which compliments the navy leather and doesn’t compete with what’s happening on the outside! (I purchased the Bee, to use this as an evening bag and for that more polished look) 😁 It’s Special…although, I’m sure I’ll be using this a lot! Looks great with jeans and basically everything! It’s just gorgeous! 😉🧡
I purchased the Black Bee and a Cherry Biggie at the same time. Whereas the Biggie is a great “carry all my stuff” bag, I also wanted the Bee for the times I want to go minimal with just the essentials (wallet, tissues, lip gloss, keys, AirPods, iPhone and glasses). And to use on nights out. Despite being small, the Bee fits all that and there’s still room for more. It’s a bit of a tight fit, but my iPhone 17 Pro with case fits in the exterior pocket and the magnet snaps shut. I flipped the strap around, so now when extended the pretty rivet side faces forward. Love this bag!
While I LOVE the lining, I don’t like how the keychain sticks out when zipped. I’m spoiled by the larger loop on my queen bee that fully hides the keychain when zipped. Front pocket is too small to hold iPhone 17 and close the magnetic closure. My fault for buying the smallest size.
