Perfect Black Bag: This affordable and timeless it-bag is loved by fashion professionals

Fashion professionals have the perfect black bag on their hook again - absolutely chic, timeless and made for minimalists. And best of all: The bag from Cos looks like it was made by a designer, but it's not nearly as expensive. It's somewhat reminiscent of Acne Studios' equally popular musubi leather bag, which is modeled after the obi sash found in traditional Japanese clothing. At 1,250 euros, however, it costs almost five times as much as this stylish version of the black bag from Cos.

A black bag is the perfect basic in every wardrobe. It goes with every outfit, every style and every season. Especially when it comes across as minimalistic as the leather bag from Cos.

That's why the Cos bag is the perfect black bag

The label has long been known for its clean style and presents us with this model made of coated black leather as a durable bag for every occasion. The contrasting inner lining in classic brown and the folded base also give the bag an extravagant eye-catcher. The size of the Cos-Bag is also absolutely practical and the handle can be adjusted so that you can carry the bag over your shoulder or by the handle.

But it gets even more practical: the bag also has a small pouch with a zip, in which you can store your cell phone, cards or keys. The tiresome and hectic rummaging in the endless expanses of the handbag is now over.

Here you can shop the timeless bag directly!
