Nolan Crossbody Pouch

• Secure buckle closure
• Compact yet spacious
• Versatile adjustable strap
• Retro look

I designed this small shoulder bag to be truly practical for everyday life while still retaining some of the old retro charm I love so much. With approximate dimensions of 21 cm in height, 17 cm in width, and 7 cm in depth, it fits everything you need on the go without feeling heavy. It’s not intended for tablets or laptops — rather for travel, walks, or days when you only want to carry the essentials.

The leather gives it a timeless character, and the firm flap with buckle keeps your belongings secure and close to your body. I wanted to create a bag that is light, reliable, and comfortable to wear — a small companion that gives you freedom in everyday life.

My love,

Good leather is easy to care for. Over time, natural oils rise to the surface and create a soft, beautiful patina. Small scratches smooth out on their own, and the leather slowly becomes richer in color and character. Real leather does not stay young – it grows with you.

Every piece I make begins with Top Layer Cowhide Leather. Cowhide is chosen for its dense fiber structure, which makes it incredibly strong and durable. While some hides may feel softer at first touch, cowhide offers the ideal balance of strength, resilience, and long-lasting beauty.

I work only with full-grain leather, meaning the natural surface of the hide remains untouched. Nothing is sanded, corrected, or artificially embossed. Every hide carries its own character and develops a patina that reflects your journey.

My grained leather gains its elegant texture through a natural tumbling process, not artificial embossing. It is soft, resilient, and becomes even more beautiful with time.

I do not line my bags with fabric. Fabric linings often tear and wear out quickly. Instead, I keep the natural suede side of the hide — stronger, more durable, and true to the material itself.

Thank you for wearing my work.

It means more to me than words can say.
