Bell Crossbody Bag

A$120.00

Hand stitched, 100% laundered, European flax linen crossbody bag in three colour variations; 1 - coral red with a red brown front pocket, red brown lining and coral red bag strap

2 - red brown with an aubergine front pocket, aubergine lining and a red brown bag strap

3 - aubergine with a red brown front pocket, red brown lining and an aubergine bag strap

These earthy, natural creations are shaped like a bell, wide at the base and narrow at the top! That gives you a roomy and secure space at the base of the bag for your valuables while the front pocket can be used for items you need to access quickly and frequently like your earphones, snacks, sunnies, umbrella or a book.

I've carefully sourced the highest quality materials that I can find so this product is durable, safe against your skin and environmentally sustainable. The outer and lining fabrics are 100% laundered and Oeko - Tex certified European flax linens from Merchant and Mills in the UK, the dyes on the cloths are GOTS certified and both are woven in a mill run on green energy! I sew with cotton thread only, the internal batting is pure wool and the loops and dees are solid, sand cast brass. The dees are nice and heavy and I like the way the brass contrasts with the rough, slubby texture of the loose weave linens. These items contain no synthetic fibers which means they break down quickly in the environment without despoiling the earth for thousands of years or contributing to microplastic pollution.

The adjustable strap is roughly 130 cms long and can be shortened using the brass triglide so you can wear the pouch as a shoulder bag as well as a crossbody bag. The bag outer and lining are 185 gsm, or medium weight linen.

Approximate Size

Length - 22 cms

Width - 19 cms

Depth - 5 cms

Washing Instructions

Cool, delicate machine wash using a ph neutral detergent. Dry flat away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. Linen gradually softens with each wash, do not use fabric softeners because they coat the flax fibers and prevent them from softening naturally. After washing, the cloth will seize up and become coarse, then soften with use. This is not a fault, it's normal for a good quality linen fabric to do this. After washing, polish the brass dees and slider with brass polish, being careful not to get polish on the fabric. Use a white, cotton pressing cloth when ironing to avoid discoloration, or simply enjoy the effortless and poetic lineny creases just as they are!
