Becksöndergaard Seafoam Green Granny Purse

The Granny Purse is a proper cult favourite. The kind people buy once, then come back for again and again — different colour every season, no self-control, zero regrets. It’s collectible in the best way, not because it’s trying to be, but because it just works.

Made from 100% eel skin, it’s soft, supple and surprisingly hard-wearing, with a texture that only gets better the longer you use it. The classic kiss-lock frame is exactly what you remember — satisfying snap, curved shape, instantly familiar — but finished in colours that feel fresh rather than nostalgic-for-the-sake-of-it.

It’s compact but practical, fitting cards, cash and keys without turning into a rummage situation. Easy to drop into a bigger bag, equally happy carried on its own for quick outings.

This really is like your granny’s purse — the good one she always used — just reworked in colours you actually want to own. Once you’ve got one, you’ll understand why people collect them. And once you’ve understood that, you’ll probably want another.
