City Chic – Slim leather crossbody bag with horsebit

The City Chic is the most refined expression of the City. This small leather crossbody bag retains the same balanced proportions, lightness and everyday functionality, while introducing a more precious and composed aesthetic. Designed to accompany daily movements with discretion, it frees the hands while maintaining a sober, timeless silhouette.

Crafted from grained cow leather, selected for its structure and hold, the City Chic offers excellent resistance to daily use while preserving the bag’s clean, defined lines. On this version, the leather is enhanced by tone-on-tone stitching, chosen to create a more subtle and seamless visual continuity, reinforcing the elegance of the design without excess.

The defining feature of the City Chic lies in its metal horsebit, specially crafted for De Grimm in Paris. Available in silver or gold finish, this detail brings a measured sense of distinction to the bag, acting as a discreet signature rather than an ornamental statement. Integrated into the flap, it enhances the design while respecting the original balance of the City.

Its interior organisation remains intentionally simple and efficient, combining an open compartment for immediate access with a zipped compartment to secure essential belongings. This clear layout supports real everyday use, offering both comfort and peace of mind without unnecessary complexity.

Worn crossbody, the City Chic offers great freedom of movement thanks to its strap adjusted with collar studs, an emblematic detail of leather craftsmanship. The strap can be worn long across the body or doubled for a shorter shoulder carry, allowing the bag to adapt naturally to different moments and styles while preserving its refined line.

Beyond its function, the City Chic is conceived as a piece designed to last. Its robust construction, timeless design and restrained elegance make it an object meant to be worn, lived with and eventually passed on. It naturally lends itself to a mother-to-daughter transmission, in keeping with the vision of a discreet, sincere and enduring luxury.

Designed by De Grimm and made in France, the City Chic carries the imprint of Bordeaux, a city defined by measured elegance and a deep-rooted art de vivre. Without ostentation, it reflects a precise and thoughtful approach to leather goods, where refinement serves use and time rather than display.

Elegant, functional and quietly distinctive, the City Chic becomes an everyday companion, bringing a subtle sense of refinement to every journey.
