Product Overview
Genuine Leather Messenger Style Bag with Crossbody Strap.
Unique and One-of-A-Kind!
It features a fold-over flap that closes with a magnetic snap underneath the buckle strap that connects to a zippered cargo pocket. It looks like a functioning buckle closure, but it is easier to use with the snap.
Behind the zippered cargo pocket is a slip pocket. This is a great place for your phone!
There is also a zipper pocket in the flap itself.
There is another zipper pocket on the back of the bag.
The interior of the bag is protected with a zipper panel. Everything stays nice and secure inside.
There is a slip pocket in the interior of the bag as well. I added a leather strip across the top of the slip pocket.
The interior is lined with a cotton native print.
The concho adds just the right touch for the Western / Southwestern feel.
The leather strap is sewn with nylon on the underside so it will not stretch out over time. It was cut at 60" long, so after sewing it should be around 55" in total length. Of course, you can shorten that considerably as the strap is adjustable. Also, just to note, the cut mark on the strap was a mark in the hide that I let stay there as the nylon strap will prevent any issues. I think it adds to the character of the leather.
Also for fun is the bag charm I made just for this bag!
This bag should live a nice long life and make someone very happy! I almost didn't want to part with it, but I can't keep everything I make! :)
Please let me know if you have any questions. All photos were taken by me in my sewing room.
--Leather and most of the materials were purchased at TANDY in Syracuse NY
