Simple quality
It took me a while, but I have finally found my "daily driver" bag! It's tough finding something made well, that looks good, is the right size, and fits me. This is it. In it, I keep my 2 wallets, keys, iPhone, receipts (for business), and occasionally, my sunglasses. I love the separated and padded interior sleeve for my phone. I love the long strap - I'm 6-2 and broad shouldered and this thing fits perfect; it doesn't look like I'm wearing a necklace. I like the look & feel and it's light.
If I could offer any ideas for future generations of this bag: I wish there were more colors to choose from in the nylon fabric - not trim colors but actual bag colors. They're all black, but other colors might be a good idea (even if it's a "custom order" costs more). And, a small zippered exterior pocket on the hip-touching side of the bag would be nice for like a bluetooth earpiece/Airpods or something similar in size. If that happens, let me know and I'll buy another bag from you. :-) Great job, Gary! This bag rocks!!
This isn’t second Essential Crossbody bag (the other one is black).
I’m impressed with the great quality, durability and with how light it is.
Well made, reasonably priced and attractive
I had an older designed cross body bag from SFBags and it wore out after years of use. This is an excellent and even better replacement. 4 stars as it could benefit from a pen holder and (for me) a slightly longer strap.
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.
