Crafted from stonewashed canvas with a calf leather trim and finished with Kasuri print embroidery, this Medium Shoulder Tote is at the core of the Akris handbag collection and undoubtedly one of our most recognizable pieces. Versatile and timeless, the Ai is a work of art with great functionality, offering three convertible looks:

• When opened, it is a rectangular shopper, ideal for carrying documents or a laptop.
• With the corners folded inside and secured with the turn lock, it becomes the Pure Trapezoid Tote.
• With the corners folded on the outside and closed with the turn lock, it is the Signature Tote, its most elegant shape.

This bag features one inside zip compartment, two organization pockets, and includes a removable zip pouch.
