It’s a Cinch

Linea Pelle Bags

Yes, you loved the belts — so perfect when you wanted to keep your pants up or your tops cinched.

But, tragically, they weren’t much help when it came to carting around your wallet, keys, and cell.

Not to worry. Now Linea Pelle’s come out with bags ready to stash all that stuff. And they’re every bit as useful — and cool-looking — as the belts.

Each bag is made from artisan leather and adorned with handmade solid brass hardware. The Bianca Shopper, with its one top zipper, has plenty of room for everything and can be slung right over your shoulder. The Large Speedy lets you keep things organized with exterior pockets. Both are equally practical and eye-catching.

So instead of worrying about how to carry everything, you’ll have a new concern.

Deciding which one to get.

Available at I.D., 1525 Wisconsin Avenue NW, between Q and P Streets (202-298-5999).
