Black/Gunmetal
This updated take on our internet-famous belt bag embraces the crossbody styling our fans have come to love, with a longer strap for more looks. Its long strap allows you to truly wear this style as a low-slung crossbody, in addition to over your chest. Crafted with classic black pebbled leather. Our favorite update to the belt bag / fanny pack look, this crossbody bag can be worn as a sling so you can go hands-free. The strap can be double looped for an belt bag style around your waist as well!

"I absolutely LOVE mine, it was perfect on my trip to Cancun and will be just as effective and perfect for my upcoming trip to Guadalajara. HOWEVER, I planned to purchase the weekender, but to my disappointment, I recently learned the AMBER colored weekender HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED!!! PLEASE, PLEASE bring back the amber colored collection, it is an amazing color, is very neutral and goes well with many colors. Thank you"
"After using it for our trip, I wish it would have a way to lock the main zipper pouch. Also, the strap should be reversible so you can wear it over both shoulders, without the closed zipper being at the bottom of the bag.. so things don’t fall out. Otherwise it’s a great looking bag"
"Gorgeous, soft leather!! Beautiful packaging as well. My first Hammitt and will not be my last. I was in between the medium and large size and I’m happy with the medium. It doesn’t hold much but I only usually carry a small wallet, my phone (which fits in the back pocket), a few lipglosses plus key fob. Medium size fits best on my 5’2 frame."
"Really soft leather and very attractive with everything I wear - casual to dressier. Ample room for travel docs and essentials. Had an issue with a previous bag, and the customer service solution was very much appreciated. Thank you."
"I purchased the medium to use while traveling in Venice and Paris. All I had in the main compartment was a passport folder, a change purse and a travel Kleenex package. It is way too small. Getting it to zip closed while my phone was in the back pocket was a huge struggle! Quality is good…. size not!"
"I own many crossbody/sling bags. This bag does what all the others cannot. It is small enough but not to small, pocket on front, back and inside helps organization of your items and it just fits the body. This bag is my all time favorite style this was my 4th one to purchase. It is my go to everyday bag. Hammitt quality is above and beyond. I have carried one un particular for 2 yrs non stop and condition is excellent."
"I love this bag. I searched high and low for the perfect crossbody, one that would be high quality, distinctive, yet low key enough I could travel with it everywhere and not worry about it as I might a fussier, more delicate bag. This one is the perfect size for international travel essentials and can be worn with anything every day. Th e flash of red on the zippers is the kicker and makes it fun. I am sure this is only the first of several Hammitt bags I will own but it was the perfect one to meet my crossbody needs. Shopped in store and can’t say enough good things about the folks there in LA who helped me patiently as I tried every bag in the store. I will be back!"
"I absolutely love this bag! I like a bag that lays flat and close to my body! This is it! And it’s gorgeous leather!"
"Great little bag! Use it for travel and can fit a regular size water bottle in it which is important to me. Love the back pocket for my phone. Small but room enough for me"
"I already had the Charles leather bag in size M, but after having a baby, I realized I needed something a little bigger. So I decided to treat myself to this one as a little reward. This bag is absolutely perfect for everyday outings!"
