Women’s Retro Buckle Shoulder Bag with Zip Top and Wide Strap in 6 Colors
The Dalton is a half-moon shoulder bag with a worn-in, vintage look. A wide buckle strap crosses the front, and two small buckle tabs sit at the sides.
The soft body gathers in pleats, and a zip top keeps your things inside. One wide, flat strap carries it on the shoulder or under the arm.
Pick black, brown, espresso, dark gray, gray, or white. The browns and grays have a distressed, Y2K-style finish, and the blacks have a glossy sheen.
Your Dalton is one color choice away.

Six Colors, Six Finishes
Black
A glossy black with a crinkled, wet-look sheen. The pleats catch the light, and the metal parts stand out against the dark surface.
It is the sharpest of the six.
Brown
A warm, Maillard-style brown with a mottled finish. It is lighter where the surface creases and darker in the folds.
It shows the clearest vintage look.
Espresso
A deep brown that almost reads black in low light, with a soft sheen. Pale stitching traces the front strap and the edges.
The contrast stitching sets it apart from the others.
Dark Gray
A smooth charcoal tone with a quiet sheen and pale stitching. The gunmetal hardware blends into the color.
It is the most understated shade.
Gray
A washed, cloudy gray with a cracked, aged surface. It looks weathered on purpose and has the most distressed finish.
It sits well against faded denim.
White
A clean white with a light sheen and a matching wide strap. It stands out against dark clothes.
Wipe it down more often than the darker shades.
Finish and pairing guide
| Color | Finish | Pairs with |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Glossy, crinkled | Leather jackets, dark denim, slip dresses |
| Brown | Mottled, worn-in | Cream, olive, washed blue, camel |
| Espresso | Soft sheen, contrast stitching | Beige, gray, black, plaid |
| Dark Gray | Smooth, quiet sheen | Black, white, denim, wine red |
| Gray | Cracked, washed | Faded denim, white, black |
| White | Light sheen | Black, navy, brown, denim |
Finishes catch light differently, so a shade can look a little lighter or darker in your room.
Buckles, Pleats, and Eyelets
A wide strap runs down the front of the bag and fastens with a thick pin buckle. The tail carries two eyelets.
Two smaller buckle tabs, each held by a rivet stud, sit at the left and right sides. Together the three buckles give the bag a rugged, vintage look.
A magnetic snap under the front strap holds it flat against the bag. The zipper along the top is what closes the bag.
Three Ways to Carry It
On the Shoulder
With a 12.2 inch (31 cm) strap drop, the bag rests just below your shoulder with the zip facing up.
Under the Arm
Tuck the curved body against your side for a snug carry. It stays out of the way on a crowded street.
In Hand
Loop the flat strap around your hand and let the bag hang. It is quick to grab when you leave a cafe.
At about 0.55 lb (0.25 kg), the Dalton adds very little weight to your day.
What Fits Inside the Dalton
One main compartment sits behind the zip, with a soft fabric lining. The photos show a large phone, a card wallet, a small power bank, and a travel-size bottle sitting together.
Everyday items that fit
- A large phone
- A card wallet or a small purse
- Keys and a lip balm
- Earbuds in their case
- A compact power bank
- A travel-size hand sanitizer
The bag is only 3.1 inches deep, so a tablet or a laptop will not fit.

Shoulder Bag or Crossbody?
The Dalton has one strap with a 12.2 inch drop, so it is made for the shoulder and not for crossbody wear.

Caring for a Distressed PU Bag
- Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it right away
- Skip hard scrubbing, because the lighter patches are part of the look
- Keep it away from rough surfaces that can scratch the sheen
- Keep it out of strong sun and away from heat
- Buff the buckles and rings with a dry cloth
- Store it in a cloth bag with a little tissue inside to hold the shape
- Test any cleaner on a hidden spot first

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dalton shoulder bag made of?
The body is medium-soft PU (faux) leather, glossy or distressed depending on the color. The lining is polyester, and the buckles and rings are metal.
Is the Dalton real leather?
No, it is PU, a man-made material. The cracked and mottled finishes are part of the surface and do not come from animal hide.
How big is the Dalton?
It measures 10.2 inches across, 6.3 inches tall, and 3.1 inches deep (26 x 16 x 8 cm), with a 12.2 inch (31 cm) strap drop.
What colors does it come in?
Six: black, brown, espresso, dark gray, gray, and white. Select a shade from the options above.
What closes the Dalton?
A zipper runs along the top. The front buckle strap is a styling detail, and a magnetic snap holds it flat.
Do the buckles unfasten?
Treat them as part of the design. The zip opens and closes the bag, so you never need to undo a buckle to reach your things.
Is the Dalton a crossbody bag?
No. The strap is too short to cross the body, so the bag sits on the shoulder or under the arm.
What can I fit inside?
A large phone, a card wallet, keys, a lip balm, earbuds, a compact power bank, and a travel-size sanitizer all fit.
Will a tablet or laptop fit?
No. The bag is only 3.1 inches deep and 6.3 inches high, which suits small everyday items.
How heavy is it?
It weighs about 0.55 lb (0.25 kg) with nothing inside, so it feels light on the shoulder.
How do I clean it?
Dab or wipe it with a soft damp cloth, then dry it at once. Hard scrubbing can wear down the distressed look.
How long does delivery take?
There is no shipping charge. A U.S. order spends 2 to 5 days in processing, then takes 7 to 14 business days to arrive.
What if I change my mind?
Send it back within 30 days and the money back guarantee applies. Change-of-mind returns need an unused bag.
