Structured Top Handle

The structured top handle is defined by a firm, architectural shape carried by hand rather than slung over the shoulder. Boxy or gently trapezoid, it holds its form regardless of how it's packed, with hardware that tends to be minimal rather than decorative. Its structure makes it equally suited to formal settings, travel, or everyday carry.

Common Features: Top handle; firm construction; optional shoulder strap; refined hardware; often boxy or trapezoid.
