Conte Massimo Men's Crossbody Bag In Genuine Leather With Adjustable Strap, Small 1004

Conte Massimo 1004 small leather crossbody bag: square, 15 by 15

The 1004 has a shape that is not repeated anywhere in the range: square, 15 x 15 cm, with 3.5 cm of depth. It is the most compact of the seven models and it suits anyone who carries little — phone, wallet, keys, a pair of sunglasses — but wants it in leather and on a strap rather than in trouser pockets.

What is inside

• Main zipped compartment: the body of the bag.
• Inner zipped pocket for cash or an ID card.
• Front zipped pocket for a phone or a travel pass.

The square format, in practice

A square bag behaves differently from a rectangular one: it sits still on the hip instead of swinging, and the 3.5 cm of depth let it hold round objects, such as a glasses case or a small power bank, which a flat pouch would refuse. The strap is reinforced and adjustable in length.

Genuine leather, black or dark blue

The cowhide on this model is the same as on the large formats: on small pieces you notice more that the front panel is cut in one piece, with no joining seams. Wipe it with a soft cloth, treat it now and then with a neutral cream, and keep it away from direct heat.
