Description

The Cinta is a waist bag in smooth black leather, which is a different animal to the distressed hides most of this collection is cut from. The surface is even, quiet and slightly formal. It reads as intentional rather than outdoorsy.

Worn at the hip or slung across the back, it holds a phone, a wallet, keys and a pair of sunglasses without bulking out. The strap adjusts and the buckle sits flat so nothing digs in when you sit down.

It is the answer to the days when a backpack is too much and pockets are not enough. Travel, commuting, a long walk through a city you do not know well.

  • Smooth full grain black leather
  • Main zip compartment with interior slip pocket
  • Adjustable strap with flat lying buckle
  • Wears at the hip or across the back
  • Minimal, unbranded exterior

A smooth hide, not a distressed one

A smooth hide, not a distressed one

Most of this range is cut from waxed and weathered leather. This one is not. The surface is even, quiet and slightly formal, which makes it the waist bag that reads as intentional rather than as something grabbed on the way out.
Hands free without looking like it

Hands free without looking like it

Phone, wallet, keys and sunglasses go in without the bag bulking out. Worn at the hip it is practical, worn across the back it is deliberate. Either way the buckle sits flat so nothing presses when you sit down on a train.
For the day a backpack is too much

For the day a backpack is too much

Travelling, commuting, a long walk through a city you do not know. Those are the days when pockets are not enough and a pack is more than you need. This is the answer, and it is small enough that you forget it is on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit a large phone?
Yes, comfortably, alongside a wallet and keys. It is sized for essentials rather than for a day's kit.

Can I wear it across the chest?
Yes. The strap adjusts through a full range for hip, chest or across the back.

Is smooth leather harder to look after?
Slightly. It shows a scratch more honestly than waxed leather does, so a soft cloth and occasional conditioner matter a little more.

Will it go with formal clothes?
Better than most. The smooth black finish is the reason this one exists rather than the distressed version.

How long is the strap?
Long enough to wear across the body over a coat, and it shortens down to sit close at the waist.

What leather do you use?

Full grain leather, the top layer of the hide, left unsanded so the natural grain stays intact. Several pieces use Crazy Horse leather, a waxed full grain finish that scratches into a patina rather than out of one.

Will the leather change over time?

Yes, and that is the point. Full grain darkens, softens and develops a patina shaped by how you carry it. No two pieces age the same way.

How do I care for it?

Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth, and condition it two or three times a year. Store it out of direct sunlight. Avoid soaking it, and if it does get wet let it dry at room temperature rather than near heat.

How do I choose the right size?

Each listing says what the piece is built to carry, including laptop sizes where they apply. Compare that against the bag you use now, since it is a more reliable guide than a size label. If you are between two options, message us with what you carry and we will tell you which one fits.

Is the leather treated or sealed?

Only lightly. Heavy sealing is what stops leather from ageing, so the surface is left open enough to absorb oils from your hands and darken over time. That does mean it is not waterproof. Keep it out of standing water, and if it does get wet let it dry at room temperature.

Will the colour match the photographs?

Closely, but not exactly. Full grain leather takes dye differently across the hide, so tone and grain shift slightly from piece to piece, and screens render colour differently again. Treat the photographs as an honest guide rather than a swatch. That variation is a property of real leather, not a fault.
