A Cross Body Bag that Won't Make you Cross

Keeping your possessions safe is ever more important, especially when walking though crowded places.  For this reason, I am a great fan of cross body bags.  I feel that they are so much more secure than a bag that you hang from your shoulder or carry in your hand, because as the name implies, you wear the bag across your body, leaving your hands free. This example of a cross body bag from Makexim, which is made of Italian full grain leather and textured canvas, is a particularly fine one.

This across body bag is not too big (it is only 30 cm wide & 27 cm high) or too bulky (it is only 10 cm deep), so when you are wearing it across body bag, it doesn’t feel too intrusive or get in the way when you move. The cross body bagalso has handy pockets on the front and the back, perfect for slipping in some small items that you may need close at hand, such as tickets or your mobile phone.

The main body of the cross body bag is made from a handsome textured canvas, which makes the bag relatively light in weight but looking business-like and hard-wearing, with very attractive leather reinforcing patches and piping which are visibly stitched in a contrasting coloured thread. These leather patches and piping give the bag a particularly smart and pleasing appearance.

The strap on this cross body bag is made from a supple woven material, and has a handy silver coloured buckle adjustor so that you can make sure the bag fits perfectly across your body. The texture of the strap means that when you are wearing the bag across your body, it will be less inclined to swing around if you need to bend down – a problem I have encountered with cross body bags that have a smooth strap.

The cross body bag also has a top zipper closure to ensure that the contents are totally secure, and can’t tip out if you put the bag down.  Inside the across body bag, there is a toning brown lining, which also has contrast-stitched leather piping.  Inside there are two pen slots, a mobile phone slot and a document pocket, plus one interior zip-fastening pocket and two pouch pockets – plenty of places to put your precious possessions.
