Description

The Vespucci is a compact crossbody sling in premium full grain leather, roughly 25 centimetres across. Small, but not so small it stops being useful.

It carries a phone, a wallet, keys, a charger and a small notebook comfortably. The strap adjusts through a wide range so it sits where you want it, high on the chest or low at the hip.

Full grain leather at this size shows its patina quickly, because it gets handled constantly. Within a few months it will have a colour it did not arrive with.

  • Premium full grain leather
  • Compact 25 cm body
  • Fully adjustable crossbody strap
  • Fits phone, wallet, keys and a small notebook
  • Develops patina quickly with handling

A sling that holds a real load

A sling that holds a real load

Larger than the compact slings, so a tablet, a water bottle and a day's small items all fit. It is the size where a sling stops being a phone holder and starts being a bag you could actually spend a day with.
Swings round without coming off

Swings round without coming off

The whole reason for the shape. Pull it round to your front, open it, take what you need, push it back. You never take it off, which in a crowd or on a train matters more than capacity does.
Pockets front and back

Pockets front and back

Front for the things you need without opening the main compartment. Back, flat against your body, for the things you would rather nobody could reach. Both are zipped.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a tablet fit?
Yes, a standard tablet fits in the main compartment.

Can I wear it on my back?
Yes, the strap adjusts long enough for back carry.

Is it comfortable loaded?
The strap is cut wide for the load it is designed to hold. It is a sling, not a backpack, so keep it sensible.

Is there a pocket against my body?
Yes, a zip pocket on the back panel.

How is it different from the Piccolo?
The Piccolo is the compact sling for essentials. The Vespucci is the larger one.

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.
