Caracol Handbags
A handbag is chosen for how you'll use it rather than for the season.
The minimalist tote and large open totes are roomy and practical: files, water bottle, pouch, laptop. Caracol also offers a quilted laptop bag for office days, with a glossy finish that sets it apart from the strictly utilitarian. Mini totes follow the same logic in a more modest size, with a zippered pouch and an adjustable shoulder strap.
Crossbody bags dominate the collection. The multi-pocket style comes with a removable, adjustable guitar-style strap, a faux leather strap and a wristlet strap, so you can wear it however you like or as your needs dictate. The large zippered bags with an inside pocket are geared toward keeping your belongings secure on public transit. The small two-pocket quilted bag and the go-anywhere pouch, for their part, are all you need for an evening out or a light outing.
When it comes to materials, faux suede and faux leather set the tone, with matte or glossy quilted finishes. A few pieces make a bolder statement, like the faux suede hobo bag dotted with giant metal studs, or the large belted faux suede bag with oversized handles.
A bag pairs with all kinds of accessories: a matching wallet, a makeup bag, or a scarf tied to the handle to add colour to a more neutral style. As for women's jewelry, the stainless steel pieces hold up particularly well to life at the bottom of a bag.
As a gift, a handbag is an obvious choice. No size to guess, just a format and a shade to match the person's taste. All of our women's jewelry and accessories can be ordered in the same place, and shipping is free in Canada on orders of $75 or more.
FAQ
What handbag styles does Caracol offer?
Large totes and open carryalls, crossbody bags in every size, soft hobo bags, mini totes and pouches: there's plenty to choose from! There are also a few specialized formats like the laptop bag and the bottle bag.
How do I choose between a tote and a crossbody bag?
A tote suits busy days: it stays open, fills up quickly and sits easily on a desk. A crossbody bag frees your hands and keeps your belongings close to your body, which is reassuring on public transit or when travelling. Several styles in the collection combine both approaches, with a removable strap that lets you switch from one way of carrying to the other.
Are the straps removable?
On a good part of the assortment, yes. The large multi-pocket bag comes with a removable, adjustable guitar strap, a faux leather strap and a wristlet strap, all delivered together in the same box. Mini totes also have an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap. Each product page specifies the straps included and how they adjust, so check it before placing your order.
Is there a bag for carrying a laptop?
Yes. A glossy quilted bag is designed specifically for laptops, in a format suited to the daily commute between home and the office. The large totes and open carryalls in the collection also fit a laptop, but without a dedicated padded compartment. For regular use, the quilted laptop bag remains the safest choice, perhaps paired with a pouch to hold your accessories.
