7 Leather Purses & Handbags With Outside Pockets

We pride ourselves on effortlessly balancing form and function. All of our bags feature outside pockets & slots to keep you organized on the go. In fact, Latico bags are famous for their practical add-ons, including built-in credit card slots, pen holders, zippered and open pockets, hidden compartments, and of course, convenient exterior pockets.

Purses with outside pockets are now more convenient than ever; your everyday essentials are easily within reach. Rather than constantly digging around in your purse for your necessities when running errands, you can stash them right where you can find them.

Ahead, shop some of our favorite Latico handbags, including our famous leather crossbody bags, that have external pockets for your easy access right when you need it.


LEATHER PURSE WITH OUTER POCKETS: THE ALVA



Our new Alva crossbody is perfect for the minimalist that loves texture. This streamlined leather purse features a perforated strap and rounded, versatile design. Protect your phone or slim wallet in our signature external cell phone pocket, which closes with a magnetic flap to protect you from theft. Like all Latico bags, the Alva is made from full-grain leather and hand-crafted by South American & Indian artisans. Shop the Alva in white, black, or cognac.



3 EXTERIOR POCKETS: THE BRYNN



Our timeless Brynn bag has been a fan favorite for years, namely because of the hands-free, flat-constructed design. This practical tote-slash-crossbody also features three exterior pockets to securely hold your smartphone, eyeglasses, and lipstick. If you need more storage, there’s also an interior zipper and two slits for slim organization. It’s one of our most functional and stylish bags.



MULTI-FUNCTIONAL BAG WITH HIDDEN PHONE POCKET: THE BIANCA
