Is the Monaco Crossbody worth it compared with other leather crossbodies?

If you want full-grain leather and a minimal design, it competes well against coated-canvas and PU bags. Rivals at similar quality usually add more pockets and a zip top, so choose those if organization matters more.

What is the difference between the small and large Monaco?

The small holds a phone, cardholder and keys; the large adds room for a small tablet, sunglasses case and pouch. The large is noticeably bulkier, so smaller frames may prefer the small.

Does the magnetic closure keep the bag closed?

The hidden magnet holds the flap down for normal walking and carrying. It is not a secure closure for crowded spaces or travel, and the top stays open at the sides.

Will the strap fit me?

The strap adjusts from 42 to 52 inches, which covers most crossbody and shoulder wear. Tall or plus-size shoppers often add the Portland Leather strap extender for a lower hang.

What fits inside the Monaco?

The small fits a phone, wallet, keys and lip balm. The large fits those plus a small water bottle, sunglasses case or compact tablet, with one interior pocket for smaller items.

How should I care for the leather?

Wipe with a dry cloth and keep it away from prolonged sun and rain. Condition occasionally with a leather balm; the unlined leather will darken and soften with use.
