The Helen Crossbody Bag is crafted for the woman who values quiet sophistication and timeless craftsmanship. Handmade in Ubrique, Spain, each piece reflects PEGAI’s dedication to authenticity and the art of true leatherwork.
Made from vegetable-tanned, shrunken-grain natural lambskin, Helen’s texture is soft yet resilient, telling a story of natural beauty that only improves with time. Its natural calfskin interior lining, magnetic closure, and internal zip compartment offer both elegance and function for everyday use. Finished with gold hardware and an adjustable metal-and-leather strap, it’s designed for effortless versatility—crossbody or over the shoulder.
Guided by the expertise of Tanner Leatherstein, PEGAI’s founder and one of The Business of Fashion’s 500, the Helen embodies quiet luxury and enduring style. Because true craftsmanship doesn’t seek attention—it earns admiration.

I’ve been looking for a red bag for a long time until I watched Tanner Leatherstein on UTube and I checked his Pagai website. Lo and behold I found the bag that I really like! I thought and thought about it, then I decided I have to have it even though it’s the most expensive bag I have ever bought. But when it arrived, I wasn’t disappointed. The bag is absolutely gorgeous, the leather is soft and lightweight and the size is just perfect! Here I am thinking that it’s going to be heavy because it’s pure leather, but no I was wrong. The metal bit is good quality and the stitching is impeccable. The only negative comment I can say is there isn’t enough holes to shorten the shoulder strap. I am petite under 5ft, I had to really shortened the strap to suit my height. So I had to go to the shoe repair shop and asked them to put 8 extra holes on the strap 😄. Still, it’s my favourite bag so far. Thank you for the cable organiser.
