I bought this for my husband to carry his essentials to work. It has lots of storage for being so compact and fits his laptop too. (A couple file folders or notebook would fit in the same 14 inch space as well.) He was using a small backpack for decades, but most of the weight was in the bag itself and didn’t hold things so neatly as this one does. We like the rain resistant zippers and the gold lining making it easier to see what’s inside. This should provide years of service!
I kept trying to get a bag made in America. I got a great bag from a large American company but no tag telling where it was made. When I contacted them I was told it was made in Cambodia. As a Vietnam era veteran that did not go well for me. I was so pleased to find a company here that makes american products (and very well too).
Essential Crossbody
Perfect size. Needed a small bag for long distance travel flights for Bose headphones, iPad mini with cables, iPhone, glasses case, and small toiletry bag. I attached hooks and it hangs well onto pocket on the back of chair.
Love my essential crossbody. Got the compact first and needed a bit more space and pockets and the medium is PERFECT! This is going to be my man-bag for years to come!
Design details
COMPACT AND CONVENIENT
The Essential Crossbody is all about convenience in a small package. Multiple access points and organizational pockets help you find your gear quickly and easily.
Keep your laptop or tablet in a separate flush pocket within the main compartment. Access and organize frequently-used items in two exterior pockets — a secure, zippered one, or in the open front pocket.
ESSENTIAL CROSSBODY — WHICH SIZE FOR YOU?
The various sizes of the Essential Crossbody Collection each fit a different device you carry with you. However, if you're not carrying around a laptop or tablet, choose the size that best fits your need and stature.
The small scale of the Compact Size is just right for daily use — at home or on trips. It's extremely lightweight and keeps your hands free for other activities. Fits an iPad Mini.
The Medium, Tall, and Ultra Sizes fit various MacBook and iPad sizes. They all highlight the convenience of the organizational pockets — no need to open the bag to access your wallet, keys, and other frequently-accessed items. These are kept in the external pockets for easy and quick retrieval.
And, an even smaller Crossbody, the iPhone Pouch, fits the iPhone and other similarly-sized phones.
THE ESSENTIALS FAMILY
The Essentials Collection is a line of lightweight bags with a streamlined design, smart detailing, and features that focus on each bag's functional essence. The minimalist design delivers high impact.
For durability, we use our custom-made abrasion- and water-resistant ballistic nylon which stays looking new for many years. It withstands prolonged sun exposure so your bag will stay looking fresh and new.
