Five Colors to Pick From
Gray
A warm, mid-tone gray with a taupe lean, closer to stone than to steel. A dark edge outlines the tag and handle tabs.
It is the calmest of the five.
Red
A deep, saturated red with a crimson lean, darker than a fire-engine red. Black edging sharpens the tag and the tabs.
It is the most dramatic of the five.
Yellow
A warm golden mustard that sits between amber and honey. The hardware nearly disappears against it.
It is the brightest of the five.
Black
A true black with a fine pebbled grain. With no contrast edge, the gold-tone hardware is the only accent.
It is the easiest to pair of the five.
Green
A deep emerald with a hint of blue. It looks almost black in shade and shows its color in daylight.
It is the richest of the five.

A Soft Boston Shape
A boston bag is a rounded, boxy bag with a zip top and two handles. The Wren keeps that outline but swaps the hard frame for a soft, pillowy body.
The top corners fold gently inward, so the bag looks full from the front and slim from the side. The center seam keeps the front panel tidy.
The base is flat and rectangular, which gives your items a level place to rest.
Handles, Tag and Strap
Two rolled handles end in pointed leather tabs stitched to the body. A slim tie wraps the base of one handle, and a rectangular tag hangs from the knot.
The shoulder strap is slim and clips to a ring on each side with gold-tone swivel hooks. A pin buckle sets the length.
Each ring sits on a leather tab that runs down the side to the base. Unclip the strap, and the rings stay neatly on the bag.
Inside the Wren
Brown cotton lines the inside walls. One main compartment takes your daily load, and the zip top keeps everything closed.
A zip pocket, a phone pocket, and a slip pocket sit along the inside walls. A second zip pocket on the back holds a transit card or keys.
What fits inside
- Three paperback books or notebooks
- A tall water bottle
- A phone and a wallet
- A tablet up to about 11 inches
- A scarf or a light layer
- A cosmetics pouch and your keys

Four Ways to Carry the Wren
In Your Hand
Hold the two rolled handles together and let the bag swing at your side.
On the Forearm
Hang both handles in the bend of your arm and let your hands do other work.
On the Shoulder
Clip on the strap and set the buckle so the bag rests at your hip.
Across the Body
Lengthen the strap and wear it diagonally, which keeps both hands free on a busy day.

Caring for Your Bag
- Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth, then dry it with a clean cloth
- Keep it away from sharp objects and rough surfaces that can scratch the grain
- Avoid leaving it in direct sun for long stretches, which can fade the lighter colors
- Keep the red bag away from light fabrics, since deep dyes can transfer
- Stuff it lightly with soft paper when you store it
- Test any cleaner on a hidden spot first

Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Wren?
A soft, pebbled PU (faux) leather covers the body, the handles, and the strap. Inside, the lining is brown cotton.
Does the Wren use real leather?
No. This is a PU bag, so every surface is a synthetic leather look and nothing comes from an animal.
What are the Wren’s dimensions?
Width is 13 inches (33 cm), height is 9.1 inches (23 cm), and depth is 5.1 inches (13 cm). It ships at about 1.3 lb (0.6 kg).
Which shades can I choose?
The options list gray, red, yellow, black, and green. Select one before you add the bag to your cart.
Is the top open or zipped?
Zipped. A gold-tone zipper follows the top edge and shuts the main compartment.
Does it have one handle or two?
Two. The Wren has a pair of rolled top handles, plus a separate detachable shoulder strap.
Can I take the strap off or wear it across the body?
Yes to both. The strap unclips from the side rings, and its pin buckle lets you lengthen it for crossbody wear.
Where are the pockets?
Three sit inside, one with a zip, one for a phone, and one open slip pocket. A fourth, with a zip, is on the back.
What can I fit inside?
Three paperbacks or notebooks, a tall bottle, a phone, a wallet, a scarf, and a small tablet all fit in one load.
Is it big enough for a laptop?
We do not recommend it. The zip opening and the 5.1 inch depth leave little room, so it suits a tablet and daily essentials better.
How do I keep the finish looking good?
Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and dry it. Keep it away from sharp edges and long hours in direct sun.
When will the Wren reach me?
Orders to U.S. addresses leave after 2 to 5 days of processing and arrive 7 to 14 business days later. Shipping costs nothing.
What if I change my mind?
Our 30-day money back guarantee covers the Wren. Only an unused bag can come back when the reason is a change of heart.
