Things customers love about the KMM & Co. crossbody bag:

1. Gorgeous full-grain leather

Like every KMM & Co. bag, the crossbody bag is handmade of amazing full-grain leather. That's the highest quality leather made, and we stock more (and brighter!) colors than just about anyone else.

2. Simple, thoughtful design

A great handbag should make your life simpler, and it shouldn't weigh you down. With one compartment and a solid brass YKK zipper, this bag doesn't overcomplicate things. Plus, the D-rings are carefully placed to ensure that the bag hangs perfectly, no matter how much or how little you put inside.

3. Customizable strap options

You can choose among three different strap options for your crossbody bag. (We're a little biased, but we think that you can't go wrong with any of them!)

  • The classic crossbody strap, which adjust between 44 and 51 inches, is made of belting-weight leather, and its edges are beveled for decades of comfortable wear.
  • The chain link strap is made of interlocking links (in the same leather as the body of the bag) and is endlessly adjustable and customizable.
  • The two-ply sewn strap is made of the same leather as the bag. It adjusts between 44 and 51 inches and is soft, beautifully stitched, and super comfortable to wear.

Your handbag is a small part of your day, but one we're always honored to be a part of. Each crossbody bag is laboriously and lovingly handmade. This is a truly classic handbag, one that's built to become an heirloom you'll love to carry everyday.

"The color is phenomenal! The crossbody size is much larger than I thought which is perfect for me! The crossbody strap being adjustable is a life saver so at certain events I can wear my bag closer to me or a little lower. The quality of the design is amazing! I would highly recommend this bag style and color!"

How the crossbody bag gets made

Each bag is handmade in the USA (in our Atlanta studio)! It all begins on the cutting table, where we select the perfect side of full-grain leather for your crossbody bag. There's a front, a back, and a gusset, and we consider the color and grain of each piece.

Next, we carefully prepare a solid brass zipper and set it into the bag. (Our YKK zippers feature a big "donut pull" for ease of use!) After the zipper is tested, we assemble the body of the bag with strong backstitched seams and traditional copper rivets.

Finally, we cut and assemble the crossbody strap: a belting-weight strap, a chain link strap, or a two-ply stitched strap made in the same leather as the bag. All of the hardware – solid brass D-rings and trigger snaps, plus copper rivets – will patina with use. We never use antiqued brass, which is painted or plated.

Made (and customized) just for you!

Everybody's dream bag looks a little different. We offer a range of custom options so you can design the crossbody bag you've always wanted.

1. Add a chain link strap

The crossbody bag comes standard with one of our signature belting-weight crossbody straps. But if you want to make a statement, you can opt for a chain link strap to add a splash of color (and vintage style!) to your bag.

2. DIY your perfect strap

Since the chain link strap is made of individual leather links, it's endlessly customizable. If you want to DIY your chain link strap with packs of links, you can combine as many colors as you'd like so that your bag matches all of your favorite outfits.

3. Choose a two-ply strap

In addition to the classic belting-weight crossbody strap and the customizable chain link strap, we also offer a two-ply strap that can be made to match your bag. Each one is stitched with matching thread and is soft and comfortable to carry.

Ask away! FAQs about the crossbody bag

What does a KMM & Co. crossbody bag hold?

The crossbody bag holds more than you think! With its single compartment, you can fit items like a book, a small tablet, or a bag of snacks. (That's in addition to your wallet, phone, and keys, of course.)
How easy are the zipper (and zipper pull) to use?

We love a good solid brass zipper! After 2+ years of disrupted supply chains, we've sourced zippers with big and beautiful "donut pulls" and zipper tape dyed to match our leathers. They are a joy to open and close – and easier to use than our old zippers.
What if I need a longer or shorter crossbody strap?

We're happy to customize the length of the strap so it's perfect for you, whatever your height or body type. Great leather bags are for everybody! Just send us a message and we'll get to work.
Which color or leather should I choose?

We love every color in our collection, but after making thousands of bags, we're partial to Kodiak and Cypress leathers. For each color we introduce, we reject hundreds of other colors and tannages: KMM & Co. leathers are truly the best of the best.
What variations and markings can I expect from full-grain leather?

Full-grain leather retains all of its original grain and character, including any imperfections. You might see range marks, grain variations, small spots or scratches, folds, or color variation. They're all a beautiful part of the leather's natural character.
