The understated design features a solid turn lock closure for secure yet easy access, the tapered gusset and mid length flap give an elegant unbulky profile while still providing plenty of capacity.
Measuring 23 cm x 25 cm, with a depth of 8 cm, each of our handmade leather bags are made in small batches using beautifully supple Italian vegetable tanned leather.
Completed with silver finish solid brass D- rings and slides, the super soft yet heavy duty 40 mm wide webbing strap is adjustable between approximately 82 cm and 138 cm.
Always lovingly hand made in London, the leather we choose is vegetable tanned, which means it is produced in the most natural way possible, resulting in a truly unique and luxurious black soft leather bag which will wear beautifully, taking on personality and charm with use.
Vegetable tanning beautifully preserves the organic past life of the material, highlighting the natural grain and texture, as well as the occasional growth marks or surface imperfections. The leather is free of any heavy finishes or top coats, so may transfer colour onto light clothing at first, until a natural patina is developed.
This convenient cross body bag is also available in Tan, a warm Brown, and Navy,

Always handcrafted in our London Studio by a member of our small team.

Chroma/Roam Our colourful leather accessories are very low maintenance; try to avoid getting them completely wet, and they can be cleaned with a soft brush, or a damp cloth. Designed to be durable, the solid colour finish can conceal a few more bashes than the natural grain leather but they never say no to a good going over with a leather cleaner and a clean cloth.
There are sealant sprays available, which do help protect your leather goods and can also help protect colour transfer onto lighter coloured clothing.
Missouri - A full grain, natural finish, this leather's charm comes as it is used, aged, and gathers memories.
We’d recommend a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to give it a gentle clean, and most small scratches can be polished out with a clean, soft cloth. If you feel it’s in need of some extra affection, you might like to use a leather conditioner - look out for one containing beeswax and/or natural oils.
Try not to let your bag get wet, if it does, towel it and then allow it to dry naturally - away from heaters - and it might be worth giving it a little condition after.
To us, it’s important that the leather we use aligns with our values. Alongside creating long lasting, timeless products, we ensure we minimise our impact on the planet, by crafting our pieces responsibly.
All of our leather is supplied by tanneries who are audited and certified by the Leather Working Group.
The Leather Working Group is the world’s largest leather sustainability program. LWG has identified environmental best practices in the industry and audits tanneries to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturing facilities – and certifies those that meet the standards.
