Description

The Traverso is a waist bag in premium full grain cowhide, cut clean and finished without decoration.

A front zip pocket takes what you need in a hurry. The main compartment is one large zipped space with an interior slip pocket, which is enough structure to keep a phone away from keys without over engineering it.

Worn at the hip it is practical. Worn across the back it is deliberate. Either way it is the smallest bag in the range that still carries a real day's essentials.

  • Premium full grain cowhide
  • Front access zip pocket
  • Large main zip compartment
  • Interior slip pocket
  • Wears at the hip or across the back

The warm one, not the black one

The warm one, not the black one

Where the Rondine and Cinta are smooth black, this is warm full grain that visibly ages. It reads casual rather than formal, and it is the one to buy if you want a waist bag that gets better looking rather than staying the same.
Across the back is the point

Across the back is the point

Worn at the hip it is a bum bag. Worn across the back it is invisible and your hands are free, which is what most people end up doing with it in a city or an airport.
There is a pocket you cannot see

There is a pocket you cannot see

A zip pocket sits flat against your body for a passport or a phone. Nothing about it shows from outside, which is the entire value of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it hold?

Phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses. Essentials rather than a day's kit.

Can I wear it across the chest?

Yes, the strap adjusts through the full range.

Will the leather darken?

Considerably. It is the one waist bag in the range built to patina.

Is there a hidden pocket?

Yes, on the body side, invisible from outside.

How is it different from the Rondine?

The Rondine is smooth black and more formal. The Traverso is warm, weathered and casual.

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.
