Whether you’re planning on carrying your top-handle bag to class or taking it with you for fall getaways, the Empire’s generously sized interior and expandable side gussets make it roomy enough to hold books, a laptop and more—all while retaining its refined shape.

With a structured silhouette and plenty of pockets for added organization, the Rowan is meant to be taken with you wherever and whenever.

The Rogue offers some serious space (and plenty of organization) for all your fall days to come. And when rendered in dark chocolate suede, this style is the ultimate top-handle bag for autumn. On days when you’re carrying a bit more, style Rogue as a shoulder or crossbody bag using its detachable handles and straps.
