The Magda Butrym Maya bag: the soft shoulder bag, in leather and crochet

The Maya is the soft one. Where the Brigitte and the Varsovia stand up, the Maya slouches: a 44 cm wide, 22 high shoulder bag with a slim 6 cm base and a single strap, in black calf leather and brown suede, with the flower charm at the strap. It also comes as a crochet basket, an open-weave body on leather handles, in black and brown leather and in a viscose and silk crochet, made for summer. 5 Maya bags on Coveti, $2,910 to $4,270, median $3,130. This page is both versions.

The leather Maya

A soft shoulder bag with a slim base, so it moulds to what you put in it: a wallet, a phone, a book and a small make-up bag. The black calf leather is the daily version; the brown suede is the softer one.

The crochet Maya

Hand crocheted leather strips in an open weave over a body that shows what it holds, on leather handles, 30 cm wide and 15 high; the Resort version is a larger viscose and silk crochet. Both are summer bags and sit with the totes on the crochet bags page.

Maya against Varsovia

The Varsovia is the structured day bag with a strap; the Maya is the relaxed one for the shoulder. The Varsovia page has the structured bag.

How to wear it

On the shoulder over a coat and over a knit, strap short; the crochet version with a linen dress and flat sandals.

Care

Wipe the leather and brush the suede; keep the crochet dry and stuffed so the weave keeps its shape.
