Petite and curvaceous 1950’s inspired top handle style with a turn-lock closure.

More Details

A petite version of our iconic Holly bag, designed to take you from the day into the evening. Pretty and curvaceous, this 1950’s inspired style has a finely crafted top handle and clean curving lines. A fold-over flap with a turnlock fitting creates elegant security for all of your belongings and a detachable shoulder strap allows you to carry the bag across the body or by hand. The Mini Holly is surprisingly capacious due to its flared shape and hidden side snaps.

Materials

Crafted from carefully selected bovine hides, full-grain Mini Hollys have a softly polished finish – our glossy Atlantic leather allows the natural beauty and richness of the hide to show and is a perfect leather for handbags; it is light, durable and yet beautifully natural. 

Suede versions are made from fine Italian suede whose beautiful colours are dyed all the way through for maximum resilience. Suede will benefit from a light treatment of suede protector before you first use it – our favourite is Renapur’s Suede and Nubuck Protector.

Delivery & Returns

Delivery:

We aim to dispatch all orders swiftly and in-stock items will usually be dispatched within one business day. However, please bear in mind that we handcraft all our products here at Tusting HQ and intentionally hold low volumes of finished stock. We continuously make small batches of all items in our range, and most orders are sent out within just a few days of receipt. If there will be a delay of more a week before dispatch, we'll be in touch to ask if this may be a problem for you. Please allow for extra time if you have asked for your item to be personalised.

We ship everything by express service. Orders sent within the UK should arrive on the day after dispatch, except for outlying areas, and orders sent overseas will usually arrive within a week of dispatch – often much faster. Shipping is free for UK orders; international charges vary by location. Please click here for more information.

Returns:

    Branding

MINI HOLLY'S STORY

The Holly handbag has a direct line to the style centre of our brains! With looks to die for and a seriously high cute factor, this classic small handbag was inspired by the 1950s top-handled styles made famous by icons like Grace Kelly and Jackie Onassis.

Our first Holly begged for a little sister which gave us the perfect excuse to develop the Mini Holly – a super-cute petite version with a little more width than height – delightful to look at yet still surprisingly capacious. This autumn, we have further refined her design, with a more elegant handle allowing integrated shoulder strap attachment. Unashamedly feminine, Mini Holly delivers minimalistic feel-good luxury.

BESPOKE & PERSONALISATION

All Tusting bags are hand-crafted in our Lavendon workshop. By special order, we can make your bag even more unique by personalising it, or we can create a bespoke colourway from our set of leathers. So whether it is a personalised message inside the bag, embossed initials or a special colour combination, don’t hesitate to contact us.
