Handmade First-Layer Cowhide Compact Crossbody

Product information

This bag is handmade from first-layer cowhide leather selected for surface density and natural oil content. The leather is firm enough to hold form, yet flexible enough to age without cracking.
The body is built as a single compact volume to avoid weak fold points. Rounded edges reduce abrasion during daily movement. The front strap closure is reinforced to handle repeated opening without stretching the leather.
Metal hardware is used only where tension exists—strap anchors and closure—keeping weight controlled and balance clean. Stitching is tight, consistent, and structural rather than decorative.
This bag carries only what matters. Nothing more.

Story
This design comes from controlled carry.
It’s made for movement where hands stay free and the load stays light. The shape stays close to the body, the opening stays predictable, and the leather adapts over time without losing integrity.
It doesn’t try to look bigger than it is.
It respects limits—and works within them.
