A beautifully practical bag with a little bit of statement charm, our Foldover Stowfold Cross Body Bag is handmade in Britain using a striking combination of hair-on-hide, Ledbury cowhide or suede, finished with buttery soft aniline leather.
Designed to be easy to wear and effortlessly versatile, this compact leather bag has a relaxed foldover shape that can be dressed up or down. The removable and adjustable cross body strap makes it perfect for everyday use, weekends away, shows, race days and evenings out, while the handy slip pocket on the reverse keeps essentials close to hand.
Each bag is individually crafted in our Shropshire workshop, meaning every hair-on-hide and cowhide piece has its own unique markings and character. Choose from brown and white cowhide, tricolour cowhide, white and gold cowhide, dotty cowhide, or tan waterproof suede.
Soft, tactile and full of personality, this is a timeless leather cross body bag made for those who love practical luxury with a distinctive countryside edge.
