I had been looking for a high quality cross-body this size for quite awhile and knew the moment I saw the Hudson that it would be perfect for me. It’s beautiful, well-designed, perfectly functional, and very well-made. I’ve done alot of business with Waterfield over the years and they never disappoint. As a 75-year-old 5th generation San Franciscan myself, it makes me proud to know we’ve hosted a well-intentioned, community-engaged and highly regarded company like Waterfield for so many years. Kudos to you and your team !!!
Design details
HERITAGE MEETS INNOVATION
The Hudson blends heritage craftsmanship with modern conveniences for a unique look. Instead of a zipper, it has a novel magnetic closure using a string of rare-earth magnets. Simply slip your hand into the Crossbody to retrieve your phone, camera, or other necessities.
EASY-CLOSE FLAP
The double-layer leather flap snaps securely shut with a magnetic Fidlock buckle. The two sides are magnetically drawn together, closing the flap with a satisfying click.

FULL-GRAIN LEATHER
The authentic, full-grain leather we use to make the Hudson Crossbody is absolutely beautiful. See it, touch it, and you'll be hooked.
The distressed leather develops a beautiful patina, and your bag will age well as the years roll by.
HOW YOUR CROSSBODY GETS MADE
Here's a glimpse of how our design team developed the Hudson Crossbody from idea to reality. Their creative process involves hands-on work every step of the way as they dial down the design to create something beautiful and functional.
CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER BAG
We usually recommend not doing anything to the full-grain leather of your Hudson Crossbody, letting it develop its own beautiful patina. However, you may want to freshen it up a bit with a leather conditioner. Gary shows you how in this video for the Cozmo Leather Briefcase.
The leather may darken a bit, so test the reaction first on a spot that's not highly visible, like the bottom of the bag. For the distressed leather we use, you can spread the oils around and smooth them out with heat from a hair dryer.
