calliope crossbody bag

At Holland Cox, "everyday" never means "ordinary". The bag you use everyday should be worthy of being your favorite - and how can you fall in love with something ordinary?

The crossbody bag is based on the perfect pouch, with its gentle curves and bold designs. The hands-free design makes it practical for every day, and the artistry and style makes it easy to fall in love with! 

The calliope crossbody bag features an unsual black suede accented with tiny golden pin dots...and is somehow both demure and bold at the same time. A perfect way to wear a little shine every day!

Also shown (in the 5th image): the selina wrap belt.  

where it's made
Like all Holland Cox products, the handbags are handmade in Alexandria, Virginia, just a few miles outside of Washington DC.

how it's made
Unusual black suede with tiny, sparkly gold pin dots is paired with dark denim with gold metallic threads. The back zippered pocket is lined with a black and gold essex linen. The bag is fully lined in diamond-quilted black cotton, with a second interior patch pocket.

The strap is made from the same fabric as the back, and is finished with gold tone hardware. Both heavy duty brass zipper closures are finished with an leather zip pull, with a hand painted bead on the main zipper. 

Layers of interlining and double stitching throughout make the crossbody bag sturdy enough for daily use, but not heavy or cumbersome to carry. 

dimensions
The crossbody bag is designed to be a stylish, hands-free fit for your daily essentials, without being too big or unwieldy to carry.  You can always leave the strap at home, and wear it as a clutch!
