Helen | Shrunken Calf | Noir
THE ESSENCE: For the Woman Who Moves with Quiet Confidence
The Helen Crossbody Bag is a study in timeless sophistication. Handcrafted in Ubrique, Spain, this piece reflects PEGAI’s devotion to honest craftsmanship and enduring style.
Made from supple Togo leather—a shrunken calfskin celebrated for its soft texture and natural grain—Helen’s form combines elegance and practicality. Its natural calf crust lining, magnetic closure, and internal zip pocket bring refined function to everyday wear. The adjustable metal-and-leather strap with polished silver stainless steel hardware lets you carry it your way—crossbody or on the shoulder—with effortless ease.
Each Helen Crossbody is created under the discerning eye of Tanner Leatherstein, founder of PEGAI and member of The Business of Fashion 500. Known for his raw, transparent approach to leather craftsmanship, Tanner ensures that every piece embodies authenticity, integrity, and quiet luxury.
Because true elegance doesn’t chase attention—it leaves an impression.
