This small, versatile and stylish crossbody bag is made from our buttery-soft Cedar Japanese cowhide.

As its name suggests it’s big enough to comfortably fit your phone, keys, make-up, and a couple of other necessities too. It comes with a detachable wrist strap, and a 130cm (51”) adjustable shoulder strap which can be also detached so the bag can be used as a clutch. Choose your hardware colour from Rose, Gold, or Silver (Pictured with Rose).

Handmade in Sydney, Australia.

If you can't find the answer there, feel free to contact us.

We recommend always applying a waterproofing spray before use, and respraying your bag at least every four weeks. Choose a spray that is suitable for leather and suede.

Clean the bag using leather cleaning wipes when necessary, and let dry naturally.

After the first six months, and twice yearly after that, a leather conditioner can be applied and rubbed in with a soft, colourfast cloth. (Be sure to test on an inconspicuous place first).

Exquisite Piece!

I have always loved my first Charlie Middleton Cedar Bespoke Tote which I bought in Sydney in 2019. I still have it & still looks great!
I ordered the Cedar Essentials Crossbody bag online. I just got it & immediately fell in love with it. The leather is soft & has great craftsmanship. I know that this piece will be one of my favorites. 🥰❤️

Thank you, Ben. 😊

Cedar Essentials Crossbody .

This is a great little bag and though it is a neat size can easily fit the essentials. The leather is soft , colour perfect for what I required and workmanship gives a beautiful finish .
Importantly I have never encountered such outstanding customer service . It was remarkable.
Thank you. I will certainly be ordering again .

Just what I wanted

I have been looking for a small, simple leather cross-body for a while and this is it! The leather is so, so soft and it is beautifully made. The option to choose the colour of the metal hardware is perfect and something that I struggled to find anywhere else because I wear silver and most brown and tan bags seem to be made with gold hardware (I got the Cedar colour). The customer service is 11/10, Ben is great, and I love that these bags are made in AU too, it feels like I really have something unique and special which I love. Highly recommend CM, wish more companies were like this.

Great little crossbody bag!

Bought this Essentials Crossbody Bag in Cedar. Love the colour, was exactly the type of tan colour I was after! Was a little bit smaller than I thought it would be, but it did the job for my trip to Bali, and still looked great! The only things I’d say is it would be great if it had a little pocket inside, and I would absolutely love for your logo brand name to be pressed onto all your products in simple gold lettering like other brands do, instead of being stamped into the leather. Gold logo brand on your products would make them stand out that little bit more, but that’s my own personal thought, preference and taste. But the quality of these bags are of a very high standard and are so well made. The zip opens and closes with ease. Thank you! My current new favourite day-to-day bag! Fits my phone, sunglasses, and cards (not purse). Which is what I wanted it for, for my holiday. Love it can also be used as a clutch with the little strap 😍.
I have my eye on another of your bags. Would definitely purchase again!
