The Tenby — Oxblood Mini Leather Crossbody Bag

The Tenby is a mini crescent crossbody: a small half-moon body with a zip that runs along the curve, on a slim detachable strap.

A deep burgundy-brown hide that reads almost black at night and wine-red in daylight. It is the colour people ask about.

It is 7.75″ (20 cm) wide, 5″ (13 cm) tall and 2″ (5 cm) deep, with a strap that adjusts up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop. Phone, cards, keys and a lip balm, and it sits flat at the hip.

Inside there is one open slip pocket sized for cards. It comes with a detachable 0.75″ (2 cm) adjustable crossbody strap, up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop.

Choose the Tenby for evenings, festivals and errands when you carry almost nothing. For the same curve in soft suede, see our suede crossbody bags. Or browse the full range of mini crossbody bags.

The leather

Full-grain, aniline finished leather. The colour sits in the leather rather than on it, so the bag patinas rather than peels.

How it is made

Load-bearing seams are saddle stitched by hand, two needles through each hole, so a cut thread does not run. Edges are sanded and burnished rather than painted, and the hardware is solid brass, unplated.

Care

Brush off dust, keep it away from heaters, and use a little neutral conditioner when the leather starts to look dry.
