Apollo Concealed-Carry Handbag
$206.99
Product Details
This classy bag has two main compartments, divided by the zippered gun compartment.
With lots of pockets, slash-resistant straps and high-quality leather, this bag is functional, sophisticated and created with exceptional leather, using both turn-of-the-century and modern vegetable tanning techniques.
The leather is waxed, oiled, buffed and polished, enhancing the natural grain and surface. With time and handling, you'll see an evolution of a naturally burnished patina to the leather, enhancing its character and beauty.
Features:
- Two main compartments separated by the gun compartment
- Main compartment has magnetic closure
- Main Compartment has 1 open pocket on one side and 1 zippered pocket on the other
- Handles are reinforced with a cut-resistant metal wire for added security
- Genuine Cowhide Leather
- Denim Blue & Tan only are colors licensed to Smith & Wesson and have metal S&W Concho
Gun Compartment:
- Zippered gun compartment can be accessed from both side seams as well as the top
- Left or right-hand draw
- A universal holster is included
Dimensions:
- Bag size: 13" x 10" x 5"
- Gun Compartment: 11" L x 8" H
- Handle Drop Length: 10.5"
WILL THE GUN FIT?
All purses on the site will have dimensions for the gun compartment. Always allow at least a half inch of clearance at the zipper.
Example: Gun compartment is 8.5” W x 7” H. If your gun is less than 8" long (end to end) and less than 6.5" tall, it should fit.
Use a Good Holster!
The nylon/elastic purse holsters that most manufacturers include with the bags are a place to start, but they will not be a good fit for many guns.
Your gun won't "snap in" - these holsters have zero retention. If you tip the holster upside down, the gun will slip out. We strongly recommend getting a kydex purse holster that's molded for your specific gun model, with snap-in retention.
The two holsters below ship fast, and have awesome color choices available.

Very nice quality of leather. Gun is nicely concealed and easy to access. 12 inch iPad fits perfectly.

Absolutely love this purse! It is beautiful and functional. I hope it lasts for years!

This is the perfect purse, everything fits very nicely. Very easy to conceal your weapon, can reach in from either side, love that feature. My Ruger fits perfectly! I love the size and style. It is sturdy and that is important. No one knows what is being concealed is a big plus! Highly recommend.

This purse is so worth the money. It made me smile when I opened the box.
Nice soft, smooth leather.
The straps are sewn well. All inside zippers function smoothly.
You can't pack the inside too full or your hand will have no room to access what you need from the side zippered pockets. I would like it to be a bit larger by maybe an inch or two. I hope the leather softens over time and use.
The weight was no heavier than my Dooney bag even with my gun inside. I was shocked!
The metal feet on the bottom were a great idea.
True to color as described. Good size. Good leather smell. Good quality. Classy look.
Overall, very pleased! I will carry this bag for awhile.

Over the years I have searched for a concealed carry purse that looks and feels like those you would find in a department store. I finally found the look and quality I was searching for with this purse! It is gorgeous and made of quality leather. I have received many comments on the bag and nobody realizes what it is actually designed for. This purse is worth the money spent and holds my Sig P938 perfectly.

The Hephaestus Concealed Carry Bag came quickly and is perfect. It is exactly as advertised and very high quality leather. One of the few concealed carry bags on the market that is genuine leather but not western in style. I'm very happy with my purchase. I will carry it even if I don't carry my gun.

This purse is stunning! I love how sturdy this bag feels. I love the different color of the straps because it makes it more versatile, I love all the pockets. I can fit my note 9 in one of the accessory pockets (That’s makes me a happy girl!) I took pictures that will hopefully help if you are on the fence about this purse. Just get it...you won’t regret! ;) I love the pockets on each side that you can get to your gun depending on how you are carrying your purse so you don’t have to unzip the top! So happy with my purchase!

Just got this bag in yesterday & I am in love! It's gorgeous & high-quality, the craftsmanship is just beautiful. I felt so professional carrying it into work this morning. I was carrying my .40 in a gigantic (cheap) CCW purse, but I'd loaded it down with so many things I didn't need that it became impossible for my shoulder to support, haha. I've consolidated my items down in this bag & it's much more manageable! For reference, my .40 (Ruger SR40c, the compact version) fit like a dream down the middle. Since I was downsizing, tough, I downgraded to my .22. so that I could fit a couple more items into the purse & also keep the weight on my shoulder to a minimum.
Also, I contacted customer service with a couple of questions after purchasing, & they couldn't have been more prompt or accommodating. I'll definitely be recommending GunGoddess to my family & friends!

Apollo Concealed Carry Bag is made of
good quality of leather and gun is nicely concealed.
C
The zipper part for my weapon was too small, so had to send it back, but it was a really nice handbag.
E
Nice quality, 9mm fits easily in the gun compartment. The only thing I would change is to offer a size slightly larger than this one (I carry a lot of things in my purse and a couple of inches taller or wider or higher would make it perfect). But for now, I've downsized what I carry in my purse.

Love it!

The handbag is beautifully constructed and does not look like a typical concealed carry bag. Very classy. My husband conditioned the leather to give the handbag a little more give. .

I absolutely love everything about this purse!! First the leather smells great! Second I love the idea that I can get at my weapon from multiple directions. The purse has enough storage that I don’t have to choose between my weapon and anything else I might want to carry. Finally, the overall look is perfect!! I love my new purse!!!

What color are the straps on the cognac gag? Brown or black?
Black

This bag would be PERFECT if it had a magnet close on the gun compartment, rather than a zipper. Is this modifiable?
No, unfortunately. The Apollo handbag is only available with the zipper closure.
C
Does a Taurus 856UL revolver fit
Yes, the gun compartment in the Apollo measures 11" L x 8" H so as long as your gun is smaller that these measurements, it will fit.
C
Are there locks on the CC compartment?
No, this bag does not have a lockable gun compartment

Wondering if you’re going to have this bag in a crossbody?
The Structured Handbag-Hephaestus Collection is not available in a crossbody version, however, we do have the Slim Crossbody- Hephaestus Collection that is available which is the same purse line.
