Small Bags

Small bags built around what you actually carry — phone, wallet, keys, and not much else. Mostly cowhide, with a few lambskin styles, sized so you can carry light without leaving things behind.

What we mean by small

Small is not a marketing word here. Size is taken across the longest horizontal edge, strap and handles excluded, and every bag is given an essentials level worked out from its interior dimensions: what should fit inside and still let the bag close.

A Small bag holds a phone, a small wallet, keys and a few cosmetics. If you need sunglasses and a power bank as well, look at the Small+ level. If you only ever carry a phone, cards and keys, a mini bag will suit you better and sit more neatly on the body.

Choosing a material

Cowhide is the everyday workhorse: it holds its shape, takes daily handling and softens slowly rather than collapsing. Lambskin is lighter and noticeably softer in the hand, which suits smaller shapes and evenings out. Most of this collection is cowhide; the lambskin styles are marked on the product page.

Questions

What is the difference between a small bag and a mini bag?

Size band and capacity. A small bag holds a phone, small wallet, keys and cosmetics. A mini bag is a band smaller and is built around a phone, cards and keys. We keep them as separate collections because they solve different problems, not because one is a smaller version of the other.

How do I know if my phone will fit?

Every product page has a What Fits list worked out from the bag's interior dimensions, including the largest phone size it is sized for. If you are close to the limit, compare your phone's height with the interior height listed on the page.

Which material lasts longest?

Cowhide, in normal daily use. It resists abrasion better than lambskin and keeps its structure. Lambskin trades some durability for softness and lightness.

Are these bags big enough for a small tablet?

No. Nothing in this collection is sized for a tablet. Product pages list what does not fit as well as what does, so you can rule a bag out quickly.
