Patent Allison Crossbody

The Patent Allison Crossbody brings a full organizational layout to a compact, glossy patent leather form. Inside, the main compartment holds a slim wallet, your phone, a compact cosmetics item, and daily extras, with the interior zip pocket securing valuables and two interior slip pockets giving earbuds and a transit card their own home. The cell phone pocket keeps your device upright and instantly accessible, the key hook keeps the interior tidy, and the exterior zip pocket provides immediate access to frequently needed items without opening the main bag. This crossbody is sized for efficient everyday carry in a silhouette that looks more deliberate and fashion-forward than most practical crossbodies. The glossy Italian patent surface is striking in any color and requires nothing more than a soft cloth wipe to stay pristine. Wear it with simple, solid-color outfits and let the high-shine finish do the visual work. It is also a natural complement to other Patent Collection pieces for a coordinated, polished look.

This Italian split-grain cowhide is milled for softness, then finished with a glossy patent surface. The result is leather that feels refined, contemporary, and endlessly chic.

Patent Leather is tanned in the traditional way. However, the final stages involve the addition of a varnish and a degree of buffing to create the polished high-shine finish. The bags/small leather goods should not come into contact with other bags, as the color can rub off slightly.

This leather can usually be cleaned with the use of a soft cotton cloth slightly dampened with distilled water (sodium-free seltzer water may be substituted) applied in a circular motion. The leather should then be allowed to dry completely.

This collection requires no creams, polishes or leather conditioning products to maintain its beauty.
