B.Makowsky Black Leather Hobo Shoulder Bag | Leopard Lining | Y2K Bella Tote

Vintage B. Makowsky at its best — buttery black pebbled leather, silver hardware, and that iconic leopard-print lining everyone hunts for. This is the Bella E/W pleated tote from the late 2000s, when B. Makowsky (founded 2006 by Bruce Makowsky and Kathy Van Zeeland) was known for "fine leather, functional design, and affordable luxury".  Details from this exact bag (see photos): • premium black genuine leather with soft, supple texture and distinctive pleated detailing on the front  • silver-tone hardware, oversized ring strap details, studded double handles • magnetic snap top with zippered interior pocket (photo 2) • signature leopard print lining for bold interior contrast  • front ruched slip pocket, side zip pocket • B. Makowsky engraved logo plate on strap (photo 1) Measurements (Bella spec): approx 15"W x 10"H x 4"D, 9" strap drop  Condition: Good pre-owned vintage. Leather is soft with natural patina, no tears. Hardware has light surface wear consistent with age. Interior is clean and bright — leopard lining has no stains or odors. Corners are intact. From a smoke-free home in Milford, DE. Why you'll love it: holds everything without feeling bulky, goes with jeans or workwear, and that leopard lining makes you smile every time you open it.
