The perfect day to take out the Basile is the one that starts at the office and ends at a restaurant: this small women's crossbody handbag goes from one to the other without you having to go home and change. In the morning, you hold it by its two rounded handles, like a proper work bag. In the evening, you clip the removable shoulder strap onto the metal rings on the sides and wear it across your body, hands free for a toast.
I find it understated but never dull: the smooth synthetic, the suede-effect panel and the contrasting smooth base give it depth, and the gold-tone hardware does the rest. At 28 cm wide, it holds the essentials in its zipped compartment: smartphone, small notebook, compact powder, lipstick. If you’re still unsure about the size, compare it with all our small handbags.
Why we love it
- A mix of vegan materials: smooth synthetic and suede-effect, synthetic lining
- Two rounded handles and a removable shoulder strap: carry it by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody
- A main compartment with a zip closure
- Metal protective feet on the base
- Gold-tone hardware, round fastenings and the Gallantry Paris logo on the front
- A compact size, at 0.42 kg
- 5 colours: dark green, black, burgundy, coffee and dark taupe
Capucine’s tip: dark green is my secret neutral. It goes with camel, beige, raw denim and navy, like a softer black. If you wear jewellery, choose gold to echo the bag’s hardware: your outfit will look thought through from head to toe. And with a simple jeans-and-jumper look, burgundy or coffee instantly warms everything up.

To ensure their longevity, we recommend following a few simple rules:
- Protect your piece from rain or water. If it gets wet, gently blot the bag with a soft, light-colored cloth to absorb the liquid.
- Never overfill your bag. If it becomes difficult to close, it means you have put too many things inside and should remove some.
- Avoid any contact with greasy products or products containing solvents or alcohol (such as perfume or cosmetic products).
- Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or intense light.
- For light colors, avoid rubbing against other materials that may bleed color (such as denim). For dark colors, avoid prolonged contact with light fabrics, especially in a humid environment.
- Be careful not to scratch your piece against abrasive surfaces.
- To clean it, gently wipe the synthetic material with a soft, slightly damp cloth, without rubbing, then let it air dry.
In case of a stain, do not rub: contact us and we will advise you according to the material of your piece.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt; return shipping is at your expense.

Who's it for, when to wear it?
Rounded handles until it’s time to head out
During the day, I hold it by its rounded handles: it’s neat and chic. As soon as I leave the office, I clip on the shoulder strap and wear it across my body. My hands are free, and my phone stays safe in the zipped compartment.
A green that makes everything look better
Dark green with a beige trench coat and gold jewellery is my favourite combination. For dinner, I pair it with a black dress: it adds colour without overdoing it. And for a Sunday stroll, raw denim jeans are all it takes.
