The newest piece from the brand's spring collection is shaped like a traditional deck, and features a multi-use design. Made to be worn on shoulder, across body or as a clutch, the purse has a removable strap and multiple pockets. The base of the bag is made with 100% calf leather and even includes real grip-tape layers at the top. Hand-crafted and made with high-quality materials, this purse was securely created to ensure a long lifespan. Available online now for $475, this bag is made in a dark maroon color, with silver metal accents and a tan and black tape design at the top. The skateboard deck purse by Mala New York is a new take on classic streetwear style that adds and edgy look to any outfit.
