Conte Massimo Men's Crossbody Bag In Genuine Leather With Adjustable Strap, Medium 113

Conte Massimo 113 leather crossbody bag: six centimetres of depth

The 113 measures 24 x 21 cm, like plenty of medium bags, but it is 6 cm deep — well over double the rest of the Conte Massimo range, which sits between 2.5 and 4 cm. The difference shows in use: this one takes objects with a volume of their own, a compact camera, glasses in a hard case, a large power bank, a box of medicine.

How it is arranged inside

• Main zipped compartment, the one that uses those 6 cm.
• Inner zipped pocket for anything that should stay separate.
• Open key compartment, so keys do not scratch the rest.
• One front zipped pocket for quick access.
• One back pocket, flat, for cards.

The strap

Reinforced and adjustable. On a deep bag the reinforcement matters more than elsewhere: a full 113 has real weight to it, and a thin strap would roll up on the shoulder.

Genuine leather, black or dark blue

The leather is cowhide, tanned and supple, with finished edges. Clean it with a dry cloth; if it gets wet, let it dry in the air and away from radiators, which dry out the grain and crack it. The 113 is stocked in black and dark blue.
