Crossbody strap is very long

Leather is TOO stiff

•••
The stiffness of the leather makes it very uncomfortable to wear. It has very rigid edges which rub on your back/hip/side, however you choose to wear it. Even after years of use it hasn't softened at all. It also restricts what you can put it in due to its rigid shape and form.

Crumpler Bags are built to last

Buying our bags is a bit like planting a Eucalyptus tree – you can be sure that bugger is going to outlive you. We torture-test our bags to hell and back; we drag and drop and throw and zip until we cry then we have a rest and a cuppa. Then we weight test the buckles, do our best to destroy the fab...
