Prices and offers checked 15 October 2026; terms and availability can change.I own the Tess Sling in Woven Black, Mushroom Suede and a raffia version that’s no longer on their website. Three versions probably tells you how much I like this bag.
The strap is a big part of the appeal. Nylon straps with those clip buckles? Hideous, in my opinion. This one looks like it belongs with the bag, and there’s a little loop on the bag to tuck the strap tail into, so nothing’s left dangling. Such a small detail, but it makes a difference.
It fits a surprising amount while still looking chic and not at all bulky. Plenty of room without looking like I’m carrying everything I own. Win-win.
You can also find the Tess Sling at Nordstrom. Colours and finishes vary, so check both if you’re looking for a particular one.
