Is the Mini Crossbody big enough for everyday use?

It fits a phone, cardholder or small wallet, keys and a few small items. It will not hold a tablet, a water bottle or a large wallet.

Should I choose the snap or the zipper closure?

The snap flap is quicker to open but leaves the top partly open. The zipper option fully closes the bag and is the safer pick for travel or crowded places.

Will the strap fit a tall wearer?

The strap adjusts from 39 to 48 inches. Taller wearers or those wearing it over a coat often need the separate strap extender.

Is the strap removable?

Yes. The crossbody strap detaches, so the bag can be carried as a small clutch or pouch.

What leather is it made of?

It is made of full-grain leather, which is durable and develops a softer feel and patina with use.

Does it have interior pockets?

The bag has an outside pocket for quick-access items. Interior organization is minimal, and a separate purse organizer can be added.

Our take on the 'Almost Perfect' Mini Crossbody

The Mini Crossbody is Portland Leather Goods' small leather shoulder bag, built around a compact body with an outside slip pocket and a removable strap that adjusts from 39 to 48 inches. It comes with a choice of a Classic Snap flap or a zippered top, so buyers pick between quick access and a fully closed bag. The full-grain leather and simple shape put it in the same class as small leather crossbodies from heritage brands, but with a more relaxed, unlined construction. It suits shoppers who carry a phone, wallet and keys and want a light bag that works hands-free.
