Designed for everyday wear, this crossbody features an adjustable leather strap for a comfortable fit and a structured yet soft silhouette that molds beautifully over time. Inside, the bag is thoughtfully constructed with a fully lined interior and multiple pockets to keep essentials organized, including a secure zippered pocket. An exterior zip pocket offers easy access for items you reach for most.
