Leather crossbody bags are for the days when a tote is too much and pockets are not enough. Phone, wallet, keys, a small notebook. The size is deliberate: once a crossbody gets big enough to hold a laptop it stops being a crossbody and becomes a satchel that hangs badly and swings when you walk.A buckle flap opens with a thumb while the bag stays on your shoulder. A zip needs two hands and a pause. On a bag you reach into a dozen times a day that is the difference between one you use and one you take off first.The straps here anchor into the body panel and adjust along their own length rather than clipping on at two rings. Clip hardware is the first thing to fail on a crossbody, because the entire weight of the bag swings on those rings every time you move.These get handled more than any other bag in the range, which is the argument for full-grain hide. It darkens where you touch it instead of wearing through.
