Good size for day trips without a backpack. Well made. Strap could be longer but very nice.

Perfect companion for bike trips

Really well designed and constructed cross body bag. Totally love the fabric and all the attention to detail. Should also mention how impressed I was with the care that was taken with the delivery - thank you Mark!

Great bag

Really a great bag, but I have a few niggles. The compartment for the phone is very tight and I struggle every time I get the phone in or out. Also the stainless steel buckle, although aesthetically pleasing, is a bit heavy.

Still the overall design is great and I love the fact that it is made in the UK with locally produced components and organic materials.

I am using it every day.
