There’s a reason black nylon handbags never go out of style. They’re practical, lightweight, and effortlessly cool—but when you find one that’s also convertible, water-resistant, and eco-conscious? That’s when we start talking wardrobe essential.
Let’s take a closer look at how one black nylon bag—the Sattaché Classic Bag —can take you from a morning spin class to a rooftop dinner without ever missing a beat. Whether you’re styling it sporty or sleek, this black nylon handbag has you covered.
The Story Behind The Classic Bag
Sattaché was born from the vision of Irina Titova-Kashan, who, while navigating the fast-paced streets of New York City and traveling the world, recognized a gap in the market. As a woman constantly on the move—balancing work, travel, fitness, and family—Irina often found herself, and witnessed many women, in frustrating, all-too-familiar situations: barefoot with sore feet after a long event, tucking sneakers under the table in an elegant setting, or stuffing shoes into a tote, only to have dirt transfer onto everything else inside.
She realized what was missing—a sleek, versatile bag that could accommodate footwear and daily essentials. When she couldn’t find one that was stylish, functional, and sustainable, she decided to create it herself.
Founded by Irina and a female-led team, Sattaché was born out of necessity and shaped by experience. As women juggling busy schedules, professional commitments, travel, and family, we knew we weren’t alone. We needed a practical solution that didn’t compromise on elegance.
The result? The Sattaché Classic Bag — a black nylon handbag designed for everyday life—one that’s water-resistant, convertible, and made from recycled ocean plastics, including fish nets and plastic bottles. It features a discrete compartment to store shoes and a roomy, separate pocket to hold everyday essential items. It’s also PETA-Approved vegan, lead-free, phthalate-free, and incredibly chic. And while classic black is a forever favorite, it also comes in colors rouge and deep navy for added versatility.
Scroll on to discover why the black nylon handbag is a must-have, and our favorite ways to wear it: one that’s sporty and polished, the other elevated and sleek.
