Chiswick Leather Cargo Bags

The Chiswick is our cargo bag: a compact crossbody for anyone who likes everything in its own place. It measures 22 x 14.5 x 7cm and is handcrafted in Full-grain Leather, with two front pockets for the things you reach for most, an internal zip pocket and an open side pocket for everything else. The 4cm-wide leather strap adjusts to 130cm, so it sits comfortably across the body on taller frames or over winter coats, and the double-reinforced base helps it keep its shape day after day. Signature gold hardware finishes it.

The Chiswick comes in nine colours: black, navy, stone, chestnut, maple, slate blue, salt grey, pale fern and purple nightshade, all in plain leather and all priced at £99.95. Size-wise it is close to the City at 23 x 16.5 x 7cm, but where the City has two external zip compartments, the Chiswick puts its storage on the front in two open-access pockets, and its wider strap gives it a more relaxed, utility feel. If you want a similar strap in a larger, squarer messenger shape, look at the Westminster.

Every Chiswick comes with two free straps of your choice and a keyring, worth £63, plus a dust bag, so you can swap between the leather strap and a fabric or chain one in seconds. It is covered by a 365-day warranty and 30-day returns, with free UK delivery on orders over £70.
