Why You'll Love It
- Studded like a western yoke — on Cognac and Honey Tan, antique brass studs trace V-shaped yokes across the top like a stage-ready western shirt; on Black, a clean row of star-head studs lines the topline.
- Two ways to carry — shoulder-length handles plus a detachable, adjustable leather strap for crossbody wear.
- Italian full-grain leather — vegetable-tanned, soft and supple now, deeper and richer with every year you carry it.
- Zip-top security — a full YKK zipper closes the top so everything stays put.
- Pockets everywhere — two vertical zip pockets on the front, plus an interior zip pocket, slip pockets, and a key clip.
Approx. 12.4" H x 15.75" W x 4.9" D. Available in Cognac, Honey Tan, and Black. Add Emmylou to your cart today — ships within 1–2 business days.

The Story
Told before you say hello.
She doesn't follow the room. The room follows her.
Emmylou borrows her swagger from the stage — the V-shaped yokes of studs across her top are straight off a performer's western shirt, the kind made to catch the lights. Beneath all that shine she's a hard-working tote with a zip top, pockets where you need them, and a strap for when your hands are full.
Because Emmylou is cut from washed, vegetable-tanned Italian leather, no two are exactly alike — expect natural grain, shading, and small marks that are part of the hide's character. With wear, the leather softens and darkens and the studs mellow into a warmer antique glow.
