The Magda Butrym Varsovia bag: the day bag named for Warsaw

Varsovia is Warsaw in Latin, and the brand describes the bag as a tribute to Magda Butrym’s roots in the city where she founded the house in 2014. It is the most practical bag in the range: a structured body 36 cm wide, 20 high and 19.5 deep, with two top handles, a detachable 82 cm crossbody strap and a rose charm, lined in leather and cut in calf leather, burgundy leather and suede. 4 Varsovia bags on Coveti, $4,710 to $5,430, median $4,710. This page is the bag, what it holds, the strap and the colours.

What it holds

The 19.5 cm base is the point: the Varsovia stands on its own and takes a 13-inch laptop upright, a water bottle and a wallet, which the slimmer Brigitte does not. It is the bag for the office and the weekend train.

The strap

The 82 cm strap clips on and off, so the bag goes from a top-handle carry to a crossbody in a second; the brand describes the silhouette as structured with both top handles and a detachable strap, and the leather exterior is complemented by a leather interior.

The colours

Black leather and burgundy leather from Pre-Fall 2025, grey suede from the same season and brown suede from Pre-Fall 2026. The suede versions are the softest and read best against tailoring in the same neutral.

Varsovia against Brigitte

The Brigitte is the signature and the prettier bag; the Varsovia is the one that carries more and wears crossbody. If you already own a Brigitte, the Varsovia is the second bag; if you want one bag for everything, start here. The Brigitte page has the sizes.

Care

Wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth, keep the suede brushed and protected, and store the bag standing in its dust bag with the strap detached.
