Perfect compact size

Exactly what I needed for everyday carry. Small without feeling too small.

Great little leather bag

I bought this mainly for weekends when I don't want to carry a full messenger bag. It holds the things I normally have in my pockets plus a few extras, and the strap is comfortable enough to wear for a few hours. The leather has a nice worn character to it as well.

Very pleased

Good quality and looks great.

Useful everyday bag

The size works well for me and I like having everything in one place instead of filling my pockets. The buckle takes an extra second compared with a zipper, but I prefer the traditional look so it isn't a big issue.

Better than expected

I wasn't sure how much use I'd get out of a smaller crossbody, but this has become one of my most frequently carried bags. I use it for errands, coffee runs, markets and when traveling. It keeps my essentials together without the bulk of my backpack. I chose chocolate and really like the darker, slightly rugged finish.

Nice leather

The leather has a lot of character.

Easy to carry

I've been using mine several days a week and find it very comfortable. The compact shape stays close to my side and doesn't swing around too much when walking. Much more convenient than carrying my larger work bag when I don't need it.

Just right

Not bulky and holds what I need.

Has aged really well

I've owned the chocolate version for over a year now. It has been on several trips and gets used regularly at home too. The leather has picked up additional marks and variations over time, but that actually suits this style of bag. The stitching and hardware on mine have stayed solid. I don't treat it delicately and it still looks better to me now than it did when it was new.

Good for weekends

This is basically my Saturday bag now. Phone, wallet, glasses, keys and a few other small things fit without me having to carry something oversized.

Looks sharp

Really like the vintage leather finish.

Compact but practical

A little smaller than the bag I was replacing, so I had to rethink what I carry. After using it for a couple of weeks I actually prefer the smaller size. It is much less cumbersome when I'm out walking.

Excellent travel companion

I originally purchased this for a trip because I wanted something that could stay close to me in busy areas. It worked so well that I've continued using it ever since. The compact shape is particularly useful at airports, on trains and when walking around a city. Mine has been through quite a bit and the leather has developed a great worn-in appearance rather than simply looking old.

Quality feels good

Feels sturdy in the hand and the hardware has a nice weight to it. I've only had it a few months, but so far everything is holding up well.

Happy with it

Simple and useful.

Chocolate was the right choice

I spent a while deciding between chestnut and chocolate and eventually went with chocolate. Glad I did. The darker leather has a rugged appearance and the lighter worn areas give each section a slightly different look. It works equally well with jeans or something a little smarter.

No more stuffed pockets

My wife kept telling me to stop carrying everything in my pockets, so I finally bought a small crossbody. I didn't think I'd use it much, but she was right. It's much easier having my phone, wallet, keys and glasses together. This one doesn't feel oversized and I like that it looks more traditional than most sling bags.

Great daily bag

Comfortable strap and a very manageable size.

Good overall

The bag itself is very nice and seems well made. My only small complaint is that I would prefer slightly quicker access under the flap. On the other hand, the buckle is part of what gives it the look I wanted, so it's a fair trade-off.

Great for walking

I take long walks around town fairly often and wanted something that wouldn't feel bulky. This sits comfortably across the body and gives me enough room for the essentials.

Very nice

Exactly as expected.

Perfect for city trips

I've taken this on three trips now and it has been ideal for sightseeing days. My larger bag stays at the hotel and I put the things I actually need in this one. It's easy to keep in front of me in crowded areas and doesn't become uncomfortable after a few hours. The leather has also held up very nicely despite getting caught in light rain a couple of times.

Small without looking tiny

That's what I like most about it. It is compact but still looks like a proper leather bag rather than a little pouch.

Good purchase

Using it almost every day.

Much better than a backpack for errands

I used to take a backpack even when I only needed a handful of things, which was overkill. This is a much better option for short trips out of the house. It carries the essentials, stays out of the way and doesn't make me feel like I'm headed to work. I also like the worn finish because small marks don't bother me.

Solid little bag

The stitching looks clean and the leather feels substantial for a bag this size. So far it has handled regular use without any issues.

Chestnut looks excellent

Went with chestnut and I'm very happy with the color. It has a warmer appearance than the darker version and looks better as it picks up a little wear.

Nice size

Compact and comfortable.

Good bag with character

I like it overall. The leather on mine had more variation than I expected when it arrived, but after using it for a while I've grown to appreciate that. It definitely doesn't have a perfectly uniform factory-made appearance.

Still going strong

I've had mine for close to two years. It has traveled with me, been thrown onto car seats and used for countless weekends around town. The leather has softened and darkened in places and there are plenty of marks now, but nothing has actually failed. That's exactly how I hoped this type of leather would age. It feels much more personal now than when it first arrived.

Convenient for everyday use

It's become my grab-and-go bag. I keep a few essentials in it so I can just pick it up when I leave the house.

Excellent

Very satisfied with the quality.

Doesn't feel cumbersome

That was my biggest concern because I haven't carried a crossbody before. After a couple of days I barely noticed it. The size is sensible and the wide strap distributes the weight well enough for what I carry.

Nice rugged appearance

I specifically wanted leather that didn't look overly polished. The chocolate finish was exactly the style I had in mind.

Bought for travel, kept using it

The original plan was to use this only when traveling because I wanted something smaller for my passport, wallet and other essentials. After getting home I realized it was just as useful for normal errands. It has now been in regular rotation for more than a year. The leather has softened, the strap has become more comfortable and everything is still functioning properly.

Good value

Feels like a bag I'll keep for a long time.

A practical size for me

I'm not someone who carries a lot, so larger messenger bags usually end up half empty. This is much more appropriate for the amount of stuff I actually take with me.

Great bag

Looks good and carries comfortably.

Nearly perfect for me

The compact size and leather are exactly what I was after. I'd probably make the strap adjustment a little easier if I could change one thing, but once I found the right length I haven't needed to touch it again.

One of my most used bags

I own several leather bags, including a couple that cost considerably more, but this little one probably gets used the most. The reason is simple: it is convenient. When I'm going out for a few hours, I don't need to think about what bag to take. This holds enough without becoming heavy, and the distressed leather means I don't worry about every little scratch.
