Akachi Croc-Pattern Vegan Leather Coin Purse — Gold Clasp | GrinSquid

The one that doesn't look like an accessory.

Akachi is a 7cm × 9cm coin purse in croc-pattern vegan leather, closed with a gold-tone clip rather than a zip. It's the most grown-up piece GrinSquid makes — the one that sits in a work bag without announcing itself.

Akachi is Igbo for the hand of God.

How does the clip closure work?

A gold-tone metal clip holds the top shut — press to open, press to close. It's faster than a zip one-handed, which is the point when you're paying for something at a counter.

Frequently asked

Is this real leather?

No — it's vegan leather with a crocodile-pattern finish. No animal products.

Why a clip instead of a zip?

It opens one-handed. At a till or on a bus, that's the difference between fumbling and not.

Will things fall out?

Akachi is a 7cm × 9cm coin purse in croc-pattern vegan leather, closed with an interlocking gold-tone kiss-lock rather than a zip. It's the most grown-up piece GrinSquid makes — the one that sits in a work bag without announcing itself.

How does it compare to the silicone purses?

Smaller, firmer and considerably less casual. Uju and Ijeoma are 9cm silicone at £14.99; Akachi is structured vegan leather at £23.99 and reads as a purse rather than an accessory.

What does Akachi mean?

Igbo for the hand of God. Every GrinSquid piece carries an Igbo name.

Brown, if it's going in a work bag. Pink, if it isn't.
