Collection: Bags

Beyond footwear, Cordners stocks a curated range of bags and accessories. From handbags to backpacks, travel bags to small leather goods, we focus on quality leather and synthetic options that complement our footwear ranges. Brands like Dubarry, Barbour, Hotter and a number of specialist Italian leather makers feature in this category.

The right bag depends on use. For everyday town wear, a soft leather handbag or crossbody bag in a versatile colour is the right starting point. For travel, a durable weekend bag or backpack with multiple compartments handles practical needs. For country or outdoor wear, a waxed canvas or leather field bag (Barbour, Dubarry) holds up to weather and use.

Materials matter. Genuine leather bags develop character with age — colours deepen, scratches polish into the surface, the leather softens around frequently-used areas. Synthetic bags (canvas, nylon, polyester) typically don't age the same way but are lighter, more weather-resistant and easier to clean.

Sizing in bags isn't shoe-size — but check the product page for dimensions (height, width, depth) to make sure it'll fit what you need. Many bags come with adjustable straps so they work as both shoulder bags and crossbody bags depending on preference.

Care: leather bags benefit from occasional conditioning. Keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use (UV fades leather). Stuff with tissue paper when storing to maintain shape. Avoid getting leather bags caught in heavy rain — most aren't waterproof and water can stain. Waxed canvas bags can be re-waxed periodically using the brand's recommended wax. Synthetic bags wipe clean with a damp cloth.
