Collection: Women's Crossbody Bags

Crossbody Bags for the Ways You Actually Move

A crossbody bag keeps everything close and secure without occupying a shoulder or a hand. The strap crosses the body diagonally, the bag sits at the hip or waist, and you can move — walk quickly, ride a bike, climb steps two at a time, hold a coffee in one hand and a phone in the other — without adjusting anything. Our leather crossbody bags for women are cut around exactly that principle. Straps are adjustable across their full length. Closures are secure enough to feel safe on a crowded street without feeling fussy to reach into. Interiors are organised for a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, and a paperback — the things a woman actually carries on a real day out.

When you need to carry more than a crossbody can hold, our leather satchels for women step up in structure and capacity.

Finding the Right Strap Length for Your Body

Crossbody strap length is what separates a bag that hangs cleanly from one that sits awkwardly. A crossbody strap should place the bag at hip height — not so high that it pushes against the ribs, not so low that it swings against the thigh. On most average-height frames (162 to 172 cm), a strap drop of 55 to 60 cm places the bag at hip level; taller frames often prefer 60 to 65 cm, shorter frames 50 to 55 cm. All of our crossbody straps are adjustable across a wide range, and product pages list minimum and maximum drop measurements so you can match strap length to your height before ordering.

What Fits Inside a Crossbody (And What Does Not)

Crossbody bags come in size ranges that determine what they hold. Micro crossbody bags — closer to jewellery than accessory — fit a phone, a card, and a key. Small crossbodies scale up for a slim wallet, phone, and lipstick — the evening piece. Medium crossbodies hold a full wallet, sunglasses, a paperback, and daily essentials — the everyday piece. Larger crossbody silhouettes fit a tablet or slim laptop and function as a lighter alternative to a satchel or tote for meeting-heavy days. Product pages list precise internal dimensions.

Handcrafted in Nairobi, Not Assembled in a Factory

We have been making leather goods in Nairobi since 1988 — over thirty-five years of small-batch production inside our own workshop. Every crossbody in this collection is cut, stitched, and finished by hand by our skilled artisans. We are African-owned and African-led, with design inspired by the visual traditions of the continent we work from. Small-batch production keeps every piece consistent, and lets the maker’s hand stay visible in the finish. What comes out of the workshop is a bag made by a person, at a bench, one at a time.
