The Off-White shoulder, otherwise known as the ‘Binder Clip’ bag, is one that’s increasingly popular in recent times with its eye-catching yellow canvas industrial belt strap seen slung across both men and women. And you know the trend is real when you don’t just see them carried by fashionable online individuals on a good day out, but also on normal Joes (and Janes, for that matter) while out and about on any given day in Singapore.

And while this bag was already featured on the blog in October 2016 last year, it has gone through a number of changes (the ‘only for the better’ ones), with refined elements that only add to its overall appeal. The most obvious would be the leather, with this version coming in a textured leather finish that’s scratch-resistant and perfect for ladies who fear their perfectly manicured nails might accidentally damage their new bag. Then there’s silver hardware you see all around the bag, with the brand’s logo etched into the binder clip that’s also the magnetic closure on the front flap.

Apart from all-new colours (there’s now Green and Red as well), everything else is pretty much the same, from the industrial looking hardware elements on the side, as well as that eye-catching yellow canvas strap that’s just cool when slung over the shoulder or across the body. Measuring 18 cm across and 14 cm in height, the size is perfect for a day out on the streets, and one that will fit your daily essentials with no effort at all. Priced at GBP665, which is reasonable for an all-leather bag that’s made in Italy, no less, you’ll find Off-White’s shoulder bags in Black, Green and Red over at Net-A-Porter now.

If, however, you’re looking for the all-black version (the clip is black, even the industrial belt strap too), you’ll find that special offering only at Off-White Singapore located at 268 Orchard Road (beside the Apple flagship), where it’s priced at SGD1590.
