Cross-body bags tend to be tiny affairs made for carrying the bare essentials when you’re on the go. But why should it be this way? After all, a cross-body style seems made for larger bags that would be difficult to carry by hand. Hype has bucked the trend to create the Roisin.
OK, it’s probably not a perfect purse. The body is genuine leather, but the glazed finish combines with the subtle snake print to create a look which appears a bit cheaper than that. It’s just a little too glossy to be true; I’d easily mistake it for a synthetic if I didn’t know better. Thankfully though this material should last longer than a manmade skin, so if traditional leather is too safe but you still crave quality this could be just your thing.
The Roisin looks a little bulky, but with good reason; this satchel is literally crammed with features. There’s a front pocket under the flap, and another pocket on the back. Look inside the sizable interior and you’ll find a leather trimmed cell phone pouch, a zippered pocket, and two more open slips for gadgets.
This isn’t the most elegant cross-body I’ve seen, but it is one of the most practical. If you struggle to survive on the bare essentials, the Roisin could be your bag.
