Nash and Nelly pair Latico Leathers' buttery-soft full-grain leather with organized interiors. Carry either by its knot-detail handles or use the adjustable crossbody strap. Choose Nash for a compact everyday bag or Nelly for a workday with more to carry.

Nash has a smaller footprint and a lower listed weight. Nelly has a longer, deeper body, and its product page lists room for a 13-inch laptop. Compare their measurements and strap ranges below.

Nash vs Nelly at a glance

Prices and availability above were checked on November 9, 2026. Listed colors include sold-out options; available colors are those marked available to order on the live product record at that check.

Choose Nash for a smaller everyday bag

Nash keeps the knot-handle look in a shorter, shallower body. Its full-grain leather and fabric-lined interior come with open pockets, a zip pocket and a leather organizer for pens and cards. There is also an exterior slant pocket with a magnetic closure, a back zip pocket and a hidden phone pocket.

That makes Nash worth considering when organization matters more to you than carrying a larger bag. Its listed weight is lower than Nelly's before you add your belongings. It still has the same listed height, so the difference is in the length and depth rather than a shorter top-to-bottom profile.

Do not read that as a promise about exactly what fits. The Nash product page does not specify laptop compatibility. If a particular device or bulky item has to come along, check its measurements and the bag opening rather than relying on the exterior dimensions alone.

Choose Nelly for the larger shape

Nelly has the longer, deeper body while keeping the same listed height. Its product page specifically says it fits a 13-inch laptop. That is a useful starting point for a work bag, though the size of your laptop and any protective sleeve still matter. Screen size alone does not describe a device's full exterior.

Like Nash, Nelly has open pockets, a zip pocket and a leather organizer with pen holders, a slit pocket and card slots. The Nelly page also describes a hidden phone pocket and a back zip pocket. Its recessed top zip closes the main compartment.

Nelly is the option to consider when you regularly wish your everyday bag had more room. It also has a higher listed weight. The larger outline is a reason to choose it only if that extra space serves your day.

Check the strap drop before you choose

The smaller bag does not have the shorter strap range. Nash lists a crossbody drop of 16 to 32 inches, while Nelly lists 12 to 25 inches. Both straps are 1 inch wide. Nelly also lists a 5.5-inch handle drop; Nash's current product description does not give a handle-drop measurement.

Compare those ranges with a bag that already sits where you like it. Think about where the bag body lands when you wear a coat as well as a lighter layer. These are strap-drop measurements, not total strap lengths, and neither range guarantees the same fit on every person.

The decision

Nash suits a preference for a smaller footprint and lower listed weight, with pockets to keep everyday items sorted. Nelly suits someone who wants the larger shape and the product page's stated laptop fit. Choose by what you carry, then compare the strap drop and your preferred color on the relevant product page.
