Weight: Approximately 450 g. May vary, however, as the bag is hand-sewn, and the leather may also vary in weight.
The workshop is owned by two Ethiopian sisters who take great social responsibility. The employees are mainly uneducated, vulnerable women. Nevertheless, they receive salaries 100% above the industry average, enabling them to live a comfortable life.
Fair conditions like this will, in the long term, reduce poverty, child labour, exploitation, crime, and not least ensure better health for the employees and their families. In addition, 1%'s sales in their own design store go to the Zewdity Meshesha Charity. This is an organization that helps children living in extreme poverty.
By purchasing this particular bag, you contribute to the growth of the workshop and to more fair workplaces in Ethiopia. Read more about my projects in Ethiopia right here.
As a result of a handmade process, variations occur on each bag - this ensures you a completely unique product.
It is normal for the bag to get marks and patina when you start using it – this is a desired and natural effect and exactly what makes your bag special.
The color will not change, but the shade may change a little.
When this type of leather is tanned, the most beautiful hides are selected. This is because the finish is done with wax instead of covering pigments, paints and topcoats that are usually used to cover damage on lower quality hides.
Care: To protect the product against unwanted stains and create a more dirt-repellent product, you can advantageously impregnate the bag.
If the bag seems dry or if you want to reduce the number of scratches, you can care for the bag with leather grease and let it dry well (so that the grease does not rub off on clothes).
NOTE: Impregnation can give the leather a smoother feel, and grease can change the color of the leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Price: Our cheapest delivery on this product is DKK 30 with DAO to a shop (Denmark). The price for international orders will appear when inserting your address.
Return: You always have 14 full days to return an order if you regret. Read more about return and exchange right here.
Guarantee: There is always 2 years guarantee from the day the package is recieved.
Crossover bag black leather
This is a nice, roomy bag in high quality leather.
The crossover bag is suitable both for everyday use but certainly also for other events such as e.g. holidays and parties. It can hold everything from larger wallets and mobiles to a water bottle or glasses case.
In addition to the magnetic closure at the front of the bag, the large space of the bag is secured with a zipper.
In the large room, there are also two smaller rooms - one with a zipper.
More features
The strap on the cross-over bag in black is adjustable, so you can get exactly the length you like best. In addition, the strap is also completely removable, so the bag can be used as a handbag. The leather bag can also be converted into a backpack, by clicking off one carabiner, pulling the strap through the d-ring on the back of the bag, and then clicking the strap on again on the same side. There will now be two "loops" that make it possible to have the bag on your back.
Crossover bag for women, Boro bag - About the name
The women's bag is named after the Borovets ski resort in Bulgaria. I have traveled a lot with my parents as a child, but the destinations were often in rural areas and warm climes. None of us has had the desire to put on three layers of clothes, big boots and cumbersome equipment and therefore we have never been on a skiing holiday before.But in the winter of 2019, I could feel the curiosity creeping in on me. I actually wanted to try what “ski vacation” everyone was talking about.
Therefore, in one single day (yes, it was not that difficult), I persuaded my boyfriend that our Christmas present to each other should be a ski holiday to Borovets in Bulgaria. An untraditional destination for Danish ski enthusiasts and therefore a bit of a rate in our eyes. However, I had read really well about the area on several UK media and local websites. At the same time it was super cheap, so skiing was not something for us anyway, it would not be the whole big loss.
Borovets ski resort - arrival
The ski area was called Borovets and was only an hour's drive from Bulgaria's capital and Sofia Airport.When we landed and could not see the shadow of snow in Sofia, we were quite excited, to say the least, about how the ski facilities were. We were picked up by the hotel car and otherwise drove up towards Borovets. Just as quietly, the clouds began to show through the car windows, and when we again had a clear view, there was snow everywhere! So far so good.
We had three full days at Bulgaria's oldest ski resort. Borovets is a translation of "pine forest". The area was also characterized by the large, beautiful trees - and several of the trails wound through dense pine trees. It was so beautiful. The highest point "Musala Peak" is 2925 metres, and is Europe's 6th largest mountain.
We started on the smaller hills, but quickly caught the concept and literally threw ourselves down the larger mountains - or so I did. Despite a few crashes, it was a really fun, challenging and not least a physically demanding experience. The area offered both beginner hills and condos all the way up to the main mountains. It was absolutely amazing!
Crossover bag women - about the name
I think we will definitely go on a ski holiday again, maybe not every year, but we will have to try again. Most of my bags are named after warm areas, but I think this women's bag has a perfect look to be named after a cold area, so it became the beautiful Borovets.

| Care | Do not wash, Do not tumble dry, Do not iron, Do not bleach. This bag is made of personality-filled leather. This means that the bag's surface and appearance will change over time. It is normal for the bag to get marks and patina when you start using it – this is a desired and natural effect and exactly what makes your bag special. When this type of leather is tanned, the most beautiful hides are actually selected. This is because the finish is done with wax instead of covering pigments, paints and topcoats that are usually used to cover damage on lower quality hides. To extend the life of the leather, we recommend wiping your new bag with a clean cloth, applying leather grease and letting it dry. If you want to minimize unwanted stains and create a more water-repellent product, you can also treat the bag with leather impregnation. We recommend protecting the product from direct sunlight, heat and a very dry environment. |
