A crossbody bag keeps your hands free, from the morning commute to the evening out. A French leather house since 1898, Le Tanneur makes women's crossbody bags in full-grain leather, from small styles that carry only the essentials to roomier ones for a full day.
Full-grain leather
Every Le Tanneur women's crossbody bag is made from full-grain leather, the top layer of the hide, left with its natural grain. Smooth or grained, it takes on a patina over the years instead of wearing out. All our leathers come from LWG-certified tanneries. This is real leather, cut and finished by hand. The dyed edges and engraved hardware are where the leatherwork shows.
From mini to medium
A small crossbody carries the essentials: phone, cardholder, keys. A mini keeps the footprint as small as possible. A medium adds room for a wallet, sunglasses, or a pouch without weighing on the shoulder. Every product page lists the exact measurements.
Black, tan, brown
Black is the most versatile and works with everything. Tan and cognac warm up an outfit and show the patina best; tan is one of our signature shades. Each season we add collection colors in the same leathers.
Worn across or on the shoulder
The strap adjusts in length, and on some styles it detaches. Wear the bag crossbody to keep your hands free while traveling, commuting, or out for the day, or shorten the strap for a shoulder carry. Some styles come with a second strap, in chain or leather, to change the look.
Questions & Answers
What can I fit in a crossbody bag, and how do I choose the size?
Start from what you carry every day. For a phone, cardholder, and keys, a small or mini style is enough and stays light. If you also carry a wallet, sunglasses, or a pouch, choose a medium. Every product page lists the exact measurements, so you can check before you buy.
Is the strap adjustable, and can it be removed?
Yes. The strap adjusts in length for a crossbody or shoulder carry, and on some styles it detaches. A few styles also come with a second, shorter strap. The strap length and options are listed on each product page.
Does the leather scratch, and how do I care for it?
Full-grain leather is natural and hard-wearing, though like any fine leather it can mark. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, keep it away from prolonged moisture, and condition it once or twice a year with a colorless leather cream. Full care steps are in our leather care guide.
Is this real leather?
Yes. Our women's crossbody bags are made from full-grain leather, the top and most durable layer of the hide, from LWG-certified tanneries. It is not coated or bonded leather; it keeps its natural grain and develops a patina with use.
