The Row Small Izzy Bag Black is a contoured shoulder bag in ultrasoft goatskin leather, with a slim strap and a top zipper closure. A contoured shape follows a curved outline instead of a rigid box. Goatskin is the third most produced leather in the world, after cowhide and sheep leather, and it has few fat deposits, which makes it robust yet supple and light. It is often used for shoes, gloves and bags. Compared with calfskin, which feels smoother, goatskin tends to feel grainier, so it brings a gently textured surface to a bag that is otherwise soft and slim.
The top zipper closure runs along the upper edge of the bag, so the opening closes in one line. A slim strap suits a small shoulder bag, because a shoulder bag hangs from the shoulder rather than being carried by hand like a top-handle bag. Because the leather is thin and soft, it is well suited to handbags, though it is less suitable for stiff, structured pieces such as briefcases. Goatskin is also sturdy and durable, which is why it is used for leather cords. The Izzy is offered in one size, so no size needs to be chosen.
