DeMellier Vancouver Bag Guide: the Crossbody and the Vancouver Clutch

The Vancouver is DeMellier’s compact flap bag, and it comes in two very different forms. The Vancouver is a small crossbody with a flap closure and an adjustable leather strap; the Vancouver Clutch is an elongated evening bag with a gold-plated double-bar lock, a retractable top handle and a gold-plated chain strap. Searches for both have grown steadily, especially around party season. Coveti carries 13 Vancouver styles on 14 October 2026, from $840 to $970.

Key facts

• The Vancouver: top width 23cm / 9 in, base width 23cm / 9 in, height 18cm / 7 in, depth 7cm / 3 in, weight 600g; fits a large phone up to iPhone Pro Max size.
• The Vancouver Clutch: top width 25cm / 9.8 in, base width 25cm / 9.8 in, height 13.5cm / 5.3 in, depth 4cm / 1.5 in, weight 450g; fits a large phone up to iPhone Pro Max size.
• Vancouver closure: a flap with polished gold-plated hardware and an adjustable leather strap.
• Vancouver Clutch hardware: the signature gold-plated double-bar lock, a retractable top handle and a gold-plated chain strap.

Vancouver vs Vancouver Clutch

Choose the Vancouver for daytime: it is a neat square crossbody that holds a large phone, cards and keys, and its strap drops to 56cm so it sits at the hip. Choose the Vancouver Clutch for evenings: it is slimmer, 4cm deep, and can be carried three ways, in the hand as a clutch, by the retractable top handle and on the chain over the shoulder.

The new Vancouver Clutch finishes

This season adds black and dark chocolate large croc-effect, tobacco and hazel suede, and a slim tan smooth version. Croc-effect is the evening pick; suede brings it into daytime with knitwear.

How to wear the Vancouver Clutch

On the chain, it is a shoulder bag for dinner with a slip dress and a tailored coat. Held by the top handle, it works with suiting at a wedding. In the hand, it is a classic clutch for black tie. See the best DeMellier crossbody bags for more hands-free options.

What fits inside

DeMellier says both Vancouver styles fit up to an iPhone 14 Pro Max. In practice that means a large phone, a card holder, keys, a lipstick and a compact; not a full-size wallet.

Vancouver vs Siena Saddle

Both are compact crossbody bags. The Siena Saddle is rounder, softer and taller with a padlock; the Vancouver is flatter and more architectural. Compare them in the Siena guide.
