Boho cross body bags are the quiet workhorses of a slower life — practical enough for a market trip, beautiful enough to become part of your outfit. This collection gathers handcrafted cross body bags made from natural fibres like hemp, cotton and canvas, in designs that move with you from morning to evening without missing a beat.
What's inside the collection
Each bag is handmade, many by artisan cooperatives in Nepal where traditional weaving techniques meet contemporary shape. You'll find compact phone bags with an adjustable neck strap — ideal for cycling to the shops or keeping your hands free at a festival. There are fanny packs in hemp and cotton herringbone, sized to hold a wallet, phone and keys without the bulk. For longer days, cross body travel bags and laptop messenger bags in durable hemp canvas offer generous pockets without sacrificing the relaxed boho silhouette.
How to choose the right size
A few things to consider: what do you actually carry day to day? If it's just a phone, keys and a cardholder, a phone bag or small fanny pack is all you need — lightweight and out of the way. For a full day out, a medium cross body bag with two pockets gives you organisation without a structured briefcase feel. If you're carrying a laptop or documents, look to the laptop messenger bags — padded enough to protect your things, yet soft-sided and unstructured in the boho style. All straps are adjustable, so you can wear them high across the chest or low at the hip.
How to wear it
The cross body bag is endlessly versatile. Wear it slung across your chest with a linen dress and sandals for a summer market, or layer it over a chunky knit for an autumn walk. A hemp fanny pack worn at the waist works beautifully over dungarees or a long robe. The laptop messenger bags carry a relaxed, creative energy — they look equally at home in a café or a co-working space. Because they're made from natural fibres, these bags age gracefully, softening with wear to become more uniquely yours over time.
Pair your bag with other slow-living essentials from our range: browse handmade sustainable bags for canvas totes and more, or explore sling bags for a slightly different silhouette. Our boho hemp backpacks from Nepal are made by the same artisan groups, so the quality and feel are consistent across the range.
Frequently asked questions
Are these bags waterproof?
Hemp and cotton canvas are naturally water-resistant rather than fully waterproof — a light shower won't soak through, but heavy rain will penetrate. If you're caught in the rain, wipe the bag dry and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying.
How do I care for a hemp or cotton cross body bag?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water and reshape while damp. Air dry flat or hanging — natural fibres can distort if wrung out or heat-dried. Over time, the fabric will soften and develop a beautiful worn-in quality.
What is the strap length on these bags?
All cross body bags in this collection have adjustable straps. Most can be worn anywhere from approximately 60 to 120 centimetres in length, depending on the bag style. Check the individual product listing for exact measurements.
Do the laptop messenger bags fit a 15-inch laptop?
Yes, the hemp laptop messenger bags are designed to fit most standard 15-inch laptops. They have a padded inner sleeve and an outer pocket for smaller items. Always check the individual product dimensions to confirm the exact fit.
Are these bags ethically made?
These cross body bags are handmade by artisan cooperatives, many based in Nepal, using natural and sustainable materials. We work with suppliers who share our commitment to fair wages, ethical production and low-impact materials. Each product listing includes more detail about the specific maker and materials.
