The Bude — Black Leather Phone Crossbody Bag

The Bude is a phone crossbody: a slim upright bag sized around a large phone, with three card slots on the back so it doubles as your wallet.

Black is the colour that goes to every room without asking. This one is a matte, aniline-dyed hide, so it reads as deep ink rather than plastic shine, and a scuff buffs back with a thumb instead of showing a pale line.

It is 4.75″ (12 cm) wide, 7.5″ (19 cm) tall and 1.25″ (3 cm) deep, and the strap adjusts up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop. A phone with up to a 6.9-inch screen fits inside, with keys, and the cards ride outside where you can reach them.

Inside there is one open compartment for the phone, with three card slots on the outside back panel. It comes with a detachable 0.75″ (2 cm) adjustable crossbody strap, up to a 23.5″ (60 cm) drop.

Choose the Bude if you want the smallest bag that still carries a phone, cards and keys. If you need a little more room, the Tenby mini adds space for sunglasses. Or browse every mini leather crossbody bag we make.

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

Every bag is cut, stitched and finished by hand in our own workshop. Strap anchors are stitched and riveted, not glued, and the edges are burnished in several passes so there is no paint to flake.

Care

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