Have a question? We want to make sure your bag is perfect! Easy 30-day returns.

Oh, this one is good. The Clam Shell Long Shoulder Bag in Black Leather combines rich black full-grain leather with shiny brass hardware, and the contrast is seriously gorgeous. Add the sculptural clam shell shape and signature dock line rope, and you have a little black bag that feels polished enough for going out but still completely Wildwood.

Slip it over your shoulder for dinner, drinks, date night, vacation evenings, or anytime you want to leave the bigger bag at home. It carries the essentials, sits comfortably by your side, and somehow makes even jeans and a favorite top feel like you had a whole plan.

Details You’ll Love

Crafted in rich black full-grain leather from front to back for a smooth, polished look with no exterior suede.
Shiny brass hardware pops beautifully against the black leather and gives the whole bag that extra little bit of glow.
The sculptural clam shell silhouette makes this feel much more special than your typical small black shoulder bag.
At 9" wide x 5" tall x 2.5" deep, there is room for your phone, mini wallet, sunglasses, lip gloss, and the essentials you actually want with you.
The longer 35" dock line rope strap slips easily over your shoulder for comfortable, hands-free carrying.
Our signature spring snap closure keeps everything securely inside and gives you that incredibly satisfying little click every time you close it.
The structured leather holds its shape beautifully and stands upright when you set it down.

Handmade in Maine, this is the Clam Shell you grab when the plans involve dinner reservations, live music, vacation nights, or simply wanting your outfit to feel a little more pulled together. It is the little black bag, just with a lot more personality.

“I originally bought this cute bag for date nights or boat days because it's so tiny, but I love it so much that's its become the bag I wear daily! It has just enough space for my phone, small wallet, bulky keys, and sunglasses. Its fits the essentials and the spring closure at the top keeps everything secure. The quality of this bag is amazing!! I love the soft suede inside and the look of it is adorable!! I asked for a the boat rope to be a bit longer so I could comfortably wear it as a shoulder bag and their customer service is excellent!! Ill be buying for Wildwood Oytser Co. again!!! So happy worth this Clam Shell bag!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What fits inside the Clam Shell Long Shoulder Bag?

More than you would think. The Clam Shell measures 9" wide x 5" tall x 2.5" deep, with room for your phone, mini wallet, lip gloss, sunglasses, and other small everyday essentials without turning into a big, bulky bag.

Does the Clam Shell Bag stand up on its own?

Yes, and you will probably appreciate this more than you expect. The structured leather design helps the Clam Shell hold its shape and stand upright when you set it on a table, desk, or anywhere it deserves to be admired :)

How does the Clam Shell compare to the Zip Bag?

They are both great smaller Wildwood bags, but they have different shapes and personalities. The Clam Shell is a little more compact, with a structured, sculptural shape and our signature spring snap closure that keeps your essentials secure while giving the bag that polished little city-bag feel.

The Zip Bag is slightly bigger and has a full zipper closure, so you get a little more room for your everyday essentials. It is also especially great as a long crossbody if you love that easy, hands-free carry.

With either bag, you can head out feeling confident that your things are staying put. Choose the Clam Shell if you love a playful, structured shape and satisfying snap closure. Choose the Zip Bag if you want a little more room and love the look and feel of a classic zippered crossbody.
