Black Leather Turnlock Shoulder Bag
A versatile medium black leather messenger bag for work or play or any thing in between.
The understated design features a solid turn lock closure for secure yet easy access, the tapered gusset and mid length flap give an elegant unbulky profile while still providing plenty of capacity.
Measuring 23 cm x 25 cm, with a depth of 8 cm, each of our handmade leather bags are made in small batches using beautifully supple Italian vegetable tanned leather.
Completed with silver finish solid brass D- rings and slides, the super soft yet heavy duty 40 mm wide webbing strap is adjustable between approximately 82 cm and 138 cm.
Always lovingly hand made in London, the leather we choose is vegetable tanned, which means it is produced in the most natural way possible, resulting in a truly unique and luxurious black soft leather bag which will wear beautifully, taking on personality and charm with use.
Vegetable tanning beautifully preserves the organic past life of the material, highlighting the natural grain and texture, as well as the occasional growth marks or surface imperfections. The leather is free of any heavy finishes or top coats, so may transfer colour onto light clothing at first, until a natural patina is developed.
This convenient cross body bag is also available in Tan, a warm Brown, and Navy,
If you are looking for a smaller every day bag in the same rich leather, perhaps take a look at our Flat Black Turnlock bag. Also available in Tan and Brown.
To us, it’s important that the leather we use aligns with our values. Alongside creating long lasting, timeless products, we ensure we minimise our impact on the planet, by crafting our pieces responsibly.
All of our leather is supplied by tanneries who are audited and certified by the Leather Working Group.
The Leather Working Group is the world’s largest leather sustainability program. LWG has identified environmental best practices in the industry and audits tanneries to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturing facilities – and certifies those that meet the standards.
