Leather Crossbody Bags

Ground Leather crossbody bags are designed for hands-free living. From the compact Leather Camera Crossbody at R650 to the Crossbody Springbok Leather Bag at R2,480, every bag in this collection is handcrafted in Cape Town from full-grain vegetable-tanned leather.

The crossbody design keeps your essentials close — phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses — while leaving your hands free for exploring Table Mountain, navigating Woodstock markets, or travelling through an airport. Adjustable straps let you wear them across the body or over one shoulder.

Our springbok leather crossbody bags are something no international brand can replicate. Springbok leather is unique to South Africa, with a distinctive texture and natural markings that make each bag one of a kind. Combined with our full-grain cowhide — tested at 42 N/mm² tear strength by the University of Stellenbosch (2025) — these bags pair beauty with genuine durability.

All crossbody bags are vegetable-tanned with natural bark extracts. No chrome, no microplastics, no toxic chemicals. The leather develops a rich patina over time, making your bag more beautiful the more you use it.

Free worldwide shipping on every crossbody bag, tracked and insured via JetLog from Cape Town.

Styles available: Leather Camera Crossbody Bag, Leather Crossbody Bag, Brown Leather Crossbody Bag, Crossbody Springbok Leather Bag.

Leather Crossbody Bag FAQs

What fits inside a crossbody bag?

Our crossbody bags are designed for essentials. The compact camera crossbody fits a phone, wallet, keys, and a few cards. The larger crossbody models comfortably hold a phone, small wallet, sunglasses, a paperback book, and other daily essentials. The springbok crossbody is our most spacious, with room for a small tablet as well.

What is springbok leather?

Springbok leather is genuine hide from the South African springbok antelope, sourced through regulated conservation and culling programmes. The hide has a distinctive spotted pattern and natural texture that varies from animal to animal, making every piece unique. It\u2019s lightweight, durable, and unmistakably South African. We combine it with our full-grain vegetable-tanned leather for contrast and structure.

Are the crossbody straps adjustable?

Yes, every crossbody bag features an adjustable leather strap that can be lengthened or shortened to suit your height and preferred carrying position. The straps are wide enough to distribute weight comfortably and reinforced at the attachment points for long-term durability.

Is the camera crossbody bag only for cameras?

Not at all. We call it the camera crossbody because of its compact, boxy shape \u2014 similar to a vintage camera case. It\u2019s actually our most versatile small bag. Customers use it for phones, wallets, travel documents, evening essentials, and yes, compact cameras too. At R650, it\u2019s also our most affordable leather bag.
