Conte Massimo Men's Crossbody Bag In Genuine Leather With Adjustable Strap, Large 114

Conte Massimo 114 leather crossbody bag: the roomiest in the range

At 26 cm wide by 23 cm high, the 114 is the Conte Massimo bag that carries the most. It is the size to pick when a phone, a wallet and keys are not the whole list: an A5 notebook, a folding umbrella, a small water bottle or a charger all fit. The leather is genuine cowhide, soft to the touch and built for daily use.

Five compartments, each with a job

How the pockets are laid out is what separates the 114 from the rest of the range:

• Main zipped compartment: the large space, where the bulk goes.
• Inner zipped pocket: set inside the main one, for documents or cash.
• Open key compartment: within reach, meant for keys.
• Two front zipped pockets: the ones you use standing up, without opening the bag.
• Back pocket: flat against the body — tickets, cards, passes.

Size and strap

Dimensions 26 x 23 x 4 cm. The strap is reinforced and adjustable: the reinforcement earns its keep when the bag is loaded, because it spreads the weight instead of digging into the shoulder. Shorten it to carry the bag high on the hip, lengthen it to wear it across the chest.

Colours and leather care

Two colours in the range, black and dark blue. Genuine leather changes slightly with use: it softens and the surface takes on a patina, which imitation leather does not do. For upkeep, a soft dry cloth is enough, plus a neutral cream for smooth leather now and then. If the zip drags, run a wax candle along the teeth and it will slide again.
