Know before you buy
Yes, the bag is designed for versatility and can be worn comfortably as a crossbody bag or around your waist.
The exterior pocket is specifically sized for quick phone access, though it is best suited for standard-sized smartphones. Given the slim 1.25-inch depth of the bag, very large or bulky phone cases may be a tight fit.
The strap is fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit whether you are wearing it snugly around your waist or draped across your torso.
As this is a handcrafted leather product, it will develop a natural patina over time. We recommend using a high-quality leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple and protected.
The Lisbon is intentionally designed with a slim, minimalist profile to minimize bulk. While it holds your daily essentials like keys, cards, and a phone, it is not intended for carrying heavy or oversized items.
