YOUR BAG, YOUR STYLE

YOUR BAG, YOUR STYLE

At VERSE, we believe a bag should echo your inner world. A soft companion on your shoulder. A subtle, quiet kind of power. Whether you’re stepping out for work, slipping into something slower on the weekend, or exploring the stalls at Oranjezicht Market, your bag should meet you where you are—style, spirit, and all.

So how do you choose a piece that reflects your own pace?


Look at the shapes, textures, and tones you’re drawn to. Do you tend to reach for the classics? The Belter Moonbag might be your match. Minimal and softly structured, it’s a refined take on the moonbag—available in Black, Tan, Ivory, Sumac, and Mocha Suede. 

For the curious wanderer, the Bloom Pouch leans more playful. Neat and square with a slender rope crossbody strap, it’s compact, charming, and ready for spontaneous days. A soft statement in Tan or Black, perfect for moving lightly.


The Everywhere Tote is our most effortless all-rounder. Spacious, grounded in soft neutrals, and easy to carry from work to wine. Whether tucked under your desk or slung over your arm for a weekend away, it slips quietly into all chapters of your day.

Or, if you like to travel light, the Essence Pouch is a whisper of a bag. Crafted from a tactile blend of suede and full-grain leather, it holds just what you need—keys, phone, a card or two. It’s for the woman who doesn’t want to be weighed down.


Each VERSE bag is made slowly and thoughtfully by our leather working artisans in Woodstock, Cape Town. We use genuine leather, sourced as a by-product of our local agricultural industry—because we believe in honouring the materials of our land and the hands that shape them.

Our pieces aren’t trend-driven. They’re timeless. Rooted in South African bag design, and made to accompany you—wherever you’re headed next.
