Bale Full-Grain Leather Sling Bag – Handcrafted in Ethiopia

Excellent bag

Having searched for a small travel bag over many years, I purchased one which fit the immediate needs, but was not up to the task. Finding a recommendation of this Parker Clay Sling elsewhere, I purchased it, and am quite pleased. It is easy to access either zipped area, and the bag holds a good quantity of necessities. It will even hold a normal sized bottle of water or soda. The only slight downside is the strap finish, which while leather, I am worried may not be up to the task of extended use. Since I purchased this for daily use, it will be interesting to see how it holds up. It would have been very nice to allow this strap to be replaceable. I'll have to take it to my leather goods shop if it ever breaks. Overall, a solid investment.

Beautiful bag. I love the color and the zipper is beautiful. I did return it because I am a tote/crossbody girl with pouches and I carry way too much stuff. It would be a great travel bag for most.

Olive Bale Sling

I really like it! I wasn’t sure when I took it out of the box, but I thought I would try it while grocery shopping. I love that it is secure, leaves me hands free, and it doesn’t get I the way, which was one of my concerns.
