Duvall Leatherwork – Flop Over Crossbody Review

DUVALL LEATHERWORK

Flop Over Crossbody, Tobacco – Review

July 29, 2018

This bag has been such a great little (or not so little!) summer carry. I’ve taken it to the beach, to the museum, the playground, on vacation, on hikes, on walks, you name it! It’s perfect for when you need to be hands free and just want your bag to be an easy light weight carry. It’s great b/c it folds over a lot and takes up very little space if it’s not packed or it expands and can carry my Surface. You can tell I’m in summer mode with the three (3) kinds of sunscreen in that bag…we had lots of fun, outdoors days!

If you’re wondering why the pillow, it’s because the bag kept disappearing into my lap making it difficult to see otherwise. Also, this is my 2^nd time shooting this video. I shot the whole thing outside in EXTREME heat because I prefer you guys see the bag in natural light….well, it was so hot, the phone shut down halfway through and gave some sort of heat warning, so I gave up shooting outside! Check out the Nuts & Bolts video (link below) if you want to see it in natural light. Third time’s the charm though and I finally finished this video!

If you have any questions, please put the down below and I’m happy to help. Hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers to American Crafters!

If you like the fish hook keychain or the Trader Joe’s sunscreen stick (a must for trying to get sunscreen on a kiddo’s face!), see the Amazon link below.

Duvall Leatherwork – Small Shoulder Bag, Review

DUVALL LEATHERWORK

Small Leather Shoulder Bag, Red Brown

April 15, 2018

If you saw my unboxing on this bag, you saw me do a little happy dance at the end. Well, the happiness hasn’t faded at all! The more I use this bag, the more I appreciate all the little things about this bag. If there was something Nick Duvall could have done to make the bag a little better, then he took the time to do it. Here’s a brief overview of what makes this bag a standout:

Leather pulls for both zippers
Leather loops at both ends of the exterior zipper for easy opening and closing
Flexible zipper flap so it can be pulled up to open and then tucked down into the bag when closed
Leather trim / piping around the top edge of the bag
Inside seams
Full leather pocket (not just a single piece of leather sewn to the bag)
Additional open pocket
Key Fob
Solid copper rivets
Small (removable) branded leather key chain on the exterior
Structured, yet soft full grain leather.
Large capacity despite size

All of the above features are standard! This bag is proudly crafted in Kingston, Pennsylvania. This makes me want to take a trip out to Pennsylvania in person to bug Nick for a tour of the studio. Yup, this bag makes me want to go Stage V clinger.

Cheers to American Crafters!

Duvall Leatherwork – Small Shoulder Bag: Nuts and Bolts

DUVALL LEATHERWORK

Small Leather Shoulder Bag, Red Brown

I get a LOT of questions about bag measurements. What can I say? We are a detail oriented bunch. We don’t just want to know IF there’s a pocket, we want to know if it’s an open pocket, divided pocket, hanging pocket, anchored pocket….well, here you go! Here’s the nuts and bolts of the Duvall Leatherwork Small Shoulder Bag. Please note the measurements are approximate! A few comments about how I measure below. Stay tuned for the full review coming soon!

POCKETS – I measure the exterior of the pocket and then subtract ½” to account for the fact that the actual pocket is slightly smaller on the interior. The height of the zippered pocket is measured only up to the height of the zipper, but in theory, you could put something in there a bit taller because the zipper is not at the very top.

KEY FOB – This is measured from AFTER the rivet where it’s affixed to the bag since that is the portion that is moveable.

Need I say more?

How ‘bout just one more thing?

Proudly crafted in Kingston, Pennsylvania. Cheers to American Crafters!
