The little black bag that proves practical can still be ridiculously gorgeous.
Meet the Hammitt Vanna Cyl in Black/Gold, a structured vanity-inspired crossbody with a tall cylindrical silhouette, luxe gold-tone hardware and a statement chain strap.
Inspired by the resurgence of classic vanity-case handbags, the Vanna Cyl takes that vintage shape and gives it the unmistakable Hammitt treatment: buttery-looking black leather, signature rivet details, polished hardware, thoughtful organization and a bold gold chain crossbody strap.
And yes — your phone actually fits.
Carry it by the top handle for a polished little handbag moment, or clip on the chain and wear it crossbody when you want to be hands-free.
This is the kind of bag that makes jeans and a basic top suddenly look intentional.
And Hammitt absolutely nailed it.
The Vanna Cyl takes inspiration from the classic vanity-case handbag, but its taller north/south cylindrical shape makes it feel modern instead of overly vintage.
The body is structured and lightly padded, with a subtle flare toward the bottom that gives this little bag its distinctive silhouette.
Add the black leather and gold hardware and it becomes one of those accessories that doesn't need a loud color or print to get noticed.
The shape IS the statement.
Unclip the chain and carry the Vanna Cyl by its structured top handle for a chic mini-handbag look.
This is how we'd wear it for dinner, date night, an event or anytime you want your handbag to feel a little dressier.
Clip on the 43-inch chain strap and you've got an entirely different look.
The chain gives the Black/Gold Vanna that extra little bit of edge, while the leather shoulder piece makes the strap more comfortable to wear.
And because the strap is detachable, you get to decide which Vanna you're taking out.
Cute little handbags are great until you realize your phone doesn't fit.
Not this one.
The taller cylindrical design was specifically created with room for your phone and everyday essentials.
The main compartment opens with a double zipper and two substantial metal zipper pulls, making it easy to get inside without fighting with your bag.
Inside you'll find Hammitt's signature red suede lining and a leather credit card slot—so you may even be able to leave the full wallet at home.

This is SUCH a good bag with all those Nikibiki pieces you're adding.
Wear a fitted Nikibiki long-sleeve, lace top or cami with wide-leg jeans, then add the Black/Gold Vanna Cyl.
The fitted top + relaxed denim + structured handbag combination is perfect.
Pair it with your Milio Milano wide-leg pants, a soft knit and loafers or heels.
The structured shape of the Vanna gives those softer Italian silhouettes a little polish.
This might be my favorite for fall.
Oversized sweater, denim, boots and the Vanna worn crossbody.
Especially with all those chocolate brown, burgundy, cream, olive and wine pieces you're bringing in for fall.
Black + gold works with ALL of them.
Fitted top, dark denim or trousers, heels and the Vanna carried by its top handle.
Take the chain off and she instantly feels dressier.
Black dress + Black/Gold Vanna + gold jewelry.
Don't overthink it. It's gorgeous.
