Your Guide to Quality Wrangler Handbags
Wrangler bags and wallets — Inez embroidery and shoulder bags, the Indiana hobo, Spencer wallet and Nevada cosmetic bag. Western styling for everyday carry.
Canvas, Whipstitch and a Strap That Comes Off
Wrangler builds these the way it builds the clothing, which is to say the decoration is on the outside and the sense is underneath. The cow print crossbody is a fair example of the construction across the range: a canvas body with leather-look trim, whipstitch detailing worked around the edges, and a zipped pocket on the back panel for the things you want against you rather than loose in the bag.
The straps are the part worth noticing. They detach and adjust, so the same bag goes over a shoulder at the shops and across the body at a campdraft without being two different purchases. It is a small piece of design, and it is the reason one of these tends to get used far more often than the bag it replaced.
Crossbody Bags, Totes and Fringe
The crossbody styles are the busiest part of the range. Macy and Zena carry Aztec panels in coral and natural, the Southwestern Maya comes in blue, and there is a small cow print version in black for anyone who wants the print without the size.
Fringe runs through the Dallas bag in coffee, beige and pink, the two tone bag in navy, and a hobo shape in tan. The Inez line covers a shoulder bag, an embroidery bag and a wallet bag in natural and blue, and the printed canvas tote is the one to take when the day needs an actual bag rather than a small one.
Wallets, Purses and the Men's Side
The wallets sit in the same collection and follow the same prints. Cow print wallets come in black and dark tan, the Indiana wristlet purse in tan and natural, and there is a printed crossbody clutch for evenings when a full bag is more than the occasion needs.
Men are covered here too, with the Wrangler logo wallet in tan, khaki and black, which is a useful thing to know if you have ever tried to buy one at a service station. The rest of the small leather goods and belts sit in Wrangler accessories, alongside the women's Wrangler clothing the bags were designed to be seen with.
Pick Your Bag and Have It Sent
The whole Wrangler bag range is online, and orders over $175 ship free anywhere in Australia. Colours in printed leather-look and canvas do read differently in daylight than on a screen, so the Parafield showroom is worth the trip if you are matching a bag to a belt or a pair of boots you already own.
Since a bag is the last thing you pick up on the way out, here is what it usually gets matched against:
