What material is the Crossbody Travel Purse made from?

The Crossbody Travel Purse is crafted from full-grain leather — the highest quality grade of leather available. Unlike corrected or split-grain alternatives, full-grain leather retains the complete outer layer of the hide, making it the strongest, most durable and most breathable option on the market. Jekyll & Hide use a traditional vegetable tanning process that avoids harmful chemicals, resulting in leather that is not only beautiful but responsibly produced. Over time, the leather develops a rich, personalised patina — subtly shifting in tone and character with use, meaning no two purses age in exactly the same way. The interior is lined with sustainably sourced 100% recycled fabric, combining premium craftsmanship with a commitment to responsible materials.

What can you fit in the Crossbody Travel Purse?

The Crossbody Travel Purse is a clever two-part system. The removable canvas card insert holds 12 cards across dedicated slots and features its own zip pocket for coins and small items — it can be carried independently or slid into the leather outer body. The main compartment provides space for your phone, passport and travel documents, while open slip pockets on the front offer quick access to frequently needed items. RFID-secure technology throughout ensures your contactless cards are protected from unauthorised scanning at all times.

How should I care for the Crossbody Travel Purse?

To keep your Crossbody Travel Purse looking its best, wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove surface dust or marks. Every few months — or more frequently with daily use — apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner to nourish the leather and prevent it from drying or cracking. If the purse gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight, then condition once fully dry. Store the purse in the dust bag provided when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust. With regular care, the leather will only improve over time — softening, deepening in colour and developing a unique patina that becomes entirely your own.

Does the Crossbody Travel Purse offer RFID protection?

Yes, the Crossbody Travel Purse features built-in RFID-secure technology that provides discreet, passive protection against contactless card theft — with no additional sleeves, inserts or accessories required. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the technology embedded in most modern contactless credit, debit and ID cards, and skimming devices can silently intercept that signal from a distance without any physical contact. The RFID-blocking layer integrated into this purse creates a Faraday shield that interrupts these radio frequencies, preventing unauthorised readers from accessing your card data. This protection covers the most commonly used frequencies — including 13.56 MHz for contactless bank and NFC-enabled cards — giving you peace of mind in crowded spaces, public transport, airports and anywhere else you carry your cards.

EXTERIOR

FULL GRAIN LEATHER

Full-grain leather is the gold standard, because it remains untouched by sanding, shaving, or splitting, it retains the hide’s original strength and character.

At Jekyll & Hide, we favour this uncompromising material because it doesn’t just last; it matures. Every mark and natural variation tells a story, developing a rich patina that makes every piece uniquely yours.

INTERIOR

We are replacing 95% of our fabrics with 100% recycled PET from discarded bottles. Our innovative process transforms plastic waste into a high-performance, water-resistant polyester that prevents landfill buildup for over 1,000 years. By choosing our infinitely recyclable linings, you are supporting a circular system that aligns modern production with nature’s ecosystem.
