Print, Meet Personality
Somewhere between "quiet luxury" neutrals and going-out sequins, there's a whole category of dressing we don't talk about enough: the everyday bag that actually makes you smile when you grab it on your way out the door. That's the whole world of Call It By Your Name — a label born in 2020, when founder Colombe Campana, drawing on over 20 years in fashion, started hand-embroidering bandanas for her own children and friends during lockdown. What began as a personal project quickly caught on through social media, and within weeks, demand had outgrown anything she'd planned for. Today, the brand sources its bandanas from one of the last remaining bandana factories in South Carolina, works with qualified embroiderers across Europe, and assembles its ready-to-wear collections in Paris workshops — turning a lockdown hobby into a full collection of colorful, embroidered totes, toiletry bags, and charms designed to reflect your own style.
The Prints Doing the Talking
Three motifs anchor the collection, and each has its own personality:
Happy Face — A cheerful smiley embroidered across the Mini and Maxi Toiletry Bags and the Quilted Cabas Totes in both medium and maxi sizes. Genuinely hard to look at without smiling back.
Heart — The romantic counterpart to Happy Face, showing up on the Maxi Quilted Cabas Tote and both sizes of Toiletry Bag, available in soft pink or navy chambray for two very different moods.
Love, Good Times Only & Carry Your Luck — A trio of message-driven totes that lean into the brand's playful side, each finished with its own embroidered phrase and color story.
Mix and match across your bag rotation, or commit to one print as your signature — either way, this is what makes an everyday tote actually feel like your everyday tote.
Built for Everyday Wear
The tote lineup spans three sizes, so there's a fit whether you're packing for a weekend trip or just running errands:
- Maxi Quilted Cabas Tote (Happy Face, Love, or Carry Your Luck) — The largest silhouette, roomy enough to double as a light weekender, $390
- Medium Quilted Tote Bag – Good Times Only and Quilted Medium Cabas Tote – Happy Face — A slightly more compact everyday size, $355
- Mini Tote — Pared-back and easy to carry daily, $266
- Mini Cabas zippé Bag — A smaller zip-top silhouette for a more secure everyday carry, $180
Color & Pattern, Packed Small
The same prints and palette extend into toiletry and vanity bags — perfect for travel, or just for organizing the chaos of your actual everyday bag:
- Toiletry Bag – Heart in pink or navy chambray, $180
- Mini Toiletry Bag in Happy Face or Heart, $145
- Maxi Vanity Rectangle Bag, $196, and Mini Vanity Rectangle Bag, $165
And for anyone who wants a little of this world without committing to a full bag, the Key Ring Palm, Clover, Spicy, and Red Heart charms ($36 each) are an easy way to bring color and pattern to a bag you already own.
Why This Story, Why Now
There's something refreshing about a bag that isn't trying to disappear. Call It By Your Name proves color and pattern can still feel elevated — the embroidery is precise, the fabrics are substantial, and the silhouettes are genuinely useful, not just decorative. It's proof that "everyday" doesn't have to mean "neutral."
