LaTique Black Croc-Embossed Top-Handle Satchel

A striking little satchel with a sculptural silhouette and graphic texture. This LaTique top-handle handbag pairs a smooth black body with crocodile-embossed trim at the base, handle, and flap. Gold-tone rings frame the curved handle, while an architectural octagonal turn-lock finishes the front. Inside, a black-lined compartment includes a zippered pocket. Side attachment rings are present; no detachable shoulder strap is included. Designer: LaTique Inc.

Curator’s Note: The appeal is in the contrast: a softly shaped body set against bold, reptile-textured trim and almost Art Deco hardware. A distinctive black bag with personality—equally at home with a tailored coat or an easy weekend look.
