Crossbody bag · Woven-look surface
A compact black bag with a woven-look face and a long shoulder strap. It is the one crossbody style in the folder that is documented as an individual product, so this page records what the authorised photograph shows — and states plainly which measurements, closure details and lining choices are still to be agreed before an order.

Product overview
A crossbody bag is worn rather than set down, and that changes what matters. The body here stays compact so it can ride close to the wearer, while the strap runs long enough to keep both hands free. The black woven-look face supplies the visual interest in place of a bright colour or heavy hardware, which makes the texture, the panel seams and the edge finishing the details worth reviewing closely. Because the bag is carried across the body, the strap anchors and the strap edges take the load and the rubbing — on a style like this they deserve more attention than the front panel.
The style name is a descriptive label written from the photograph, not a model code. Only one authorised view exists, so the closure, lining, hardware grade and dimensions are agreed in writing per project rather than read off this page.

What the photo shows
Everything below is either visible in the supplied photograph or a general construction point about this shape of bag. No specification has been borrowed from a similar crossbody.
Textured woven surfaces read differently depending on how each panel is cut. Panels cut on the same grain line look deliberate; panels cut across the weave catch the light differently and the body appears patched. Mark the direction on the pattern before cutting, and ask for a physical texture swatch rather than judging from a screen.
Nothing else supports a crossbody bag, so the anchors do all the work. Whether the strap is stitched into the side seam, riveted through a tab or clipped to a ring, the attachment has to be built into the pattern from the start — it cannot be added convincingly at the end of sampling.
A body carried at the hip has to stay flat against the wearer while moving. Width and depth matter more than height here: a wide body swings away from the hip, and a deep body pushes out from the side. Start from the contents you need to carry, then set the dimensions.
A dark surface forgives a light scuff in the shop and then shows abrasion at the strap edge and the flap corner after a season. The edge finish matters more than the face colour, so review the edge on a finished prototype and rub it against a coat sleeve before approving.
A crossbody bag is judged in use: how it hangs when loaded, whether it stays flat against the body, and whether the strap edge survives a coat. Review those on a prototype, not on screen.
General use
These are the everyday occasions this shape suits, written as guidance rather than a claim about this exact bag. Each one ends with the detail to settle before a prototype is made.
A note on sizing
Nothing on this page fixes centimetres. Start from what has to fit inside, then set the body width and depth. The strap drop should always be checked on a worn prototype.
A long strap keeps both hands free for a market, a school gate or a coffee queue, and a compact body is easy to keep close in a crowd. For this use, the strap length matters more than capacity: the bag should sit at the hip rather than swing against the leg.
Confirm the strap drop on a worn prototype, with and without a coat.
On a commute the bag is opened and closed repeatedly while being carried, often with one hand. A closure that needs two hands or a stiff flap quickly becomes a nuisance, so the opening is worth testing before the finish is chosen.
Test one-handed access while the bag is worn, then decide the closure.
For travel, a flat body that packs down and a strap that can be shortened for a shoulder carry are usually more useful than extra pockets. A dark woven face also hides the marks that come with being set on a seat or a floor.
Check the packed-flat shape, the closure security and the strap edge finish.
Black with texture can sit beside smoother leather styles without competing with them. In an assortment built on tan, cream and black, a woven face adds depth at the same tone — useful when the range already has enough colour.
Agree which components stay identical across the range and which change with the finish.

Before you approve a prototype
Wear it before you approve it
Wear the prototype with the clothing your customer would use, over a coat and under one. A strap drop that reads correctly on a table often sits badly once the bag is loaded and moving.
Open it one-handed, twice
Work the closure with the bag already on your shoulder. If the flap lifts the whole bag or the clasp needs a second hand, the opening needs revisiting before the finish is fixed.
Rub the strap edge
The strap edge and the flap corner are where a black bag shows age first. Check the edge paint or fold against a sleeve, and ask how the finish behaves through a full season of wear.
Nearby in the catalogue
Each of these has its own authorised photograph and its own page, so they can be compared on construction rather than on a shared category picture. Names are descriptive labels, not model codes.
More crossbody photographs are held at category level, where they have not been assigned individual public references. The category page explains how those are handled and what to send if one of them is the shape you want.
How category references workQuestions buyers ask
This style has one photograph and no published measurements. The answers below say what that means in practice rather than filling the space with invented detail.
Ask something elseNo. The name is a descriptive label written from the customer photograph, and this site does not publish model codes. Share this page as your reference and our team will confirm the current style reference and the specification available for your market.
Because none are recorded for this style. Publishing a number that was not measured would be misleading, and a copied figure from a similar bag would be worse. Width, height, depth and strap drop are set with you during development and confirmed on a prototype.
The photograph shows a textured woven-look face, but the exact substrate and finish are not documented. That is a material question rather than a visual one, so we confirm it with a physical swatch that shows the weave, the hand feel and the abrasion performance.
Either is possible in development, but it changes the pattern and adds components that must be matched on repeat orders. Tell us the strap drop you need and whether the bag should also work as a shoulder bag, and our design team will confirm which construction suits the brief.
This one is documented as its own product with its own photograph. Several other crossbody photographs are held at category level because they have not been assigned individual public references. The styles with their own pages — the mauve quilted flap, the oval-clasp flap and the cream satchel among them — are the ones you can compare directly.
The style name or a link to this page, the target quantity per colourway, the strap drop and body size you need, your closure and lining preference, the hardware tone, branding format and your delivery market. With those, our team can reply with a specific proposal instead of a general catalogue.
