- Is this bag real leather?
- Yes. It combines leather with suede panels, so it is not a synthetic bag. Treat the suede before first use to slow staining.
- Can it be worn crossbody?
- It is built as a shoulder bag with a shoulder strap. Depending on the strap length, some wearers can sling it across the body, but it is designed for the shoulder.
- How much does it hold?
- It fits a phone, small wallet, keys and a few extras. The inner pocket keeps small items apart, but it is not a work or laptop bag.
- How does it compare with designer crossbody bags?
- It offers leather and suede construction and a similar silhouette for far less than designer labels, with simpler hardware and lining as the trade-off.
- How should I care for the suede?
- Keep it away from rain, brush the suede after wear and use a suede protector. Store it stuffed and in a dust bag to hold its shape.
