Kokoda Canteen Circle Crossbody Bag
Kokoda Canteen Circle Crossbody Bag
Pattern Description:
A new shape for a crossbody. The Kododa Canteen bag is inspired by military field bags of the past and reminiscent of the circle bag your mom liked to carry in the 60's. Kokoda is a little bit vintage, a little bit trendy and a big dose of unexpected.
Kokoda features a spacious zippered top that opens much wider than expected for its slim shape. The front offers a slip/zip pocket combo that is ideal to keep the essentials handy and more interior room than expected for the girl on the go!
A cross body strap offers several ways to carry from over the shoulder to cross body so you can be hands free.
The Kokoda Canteen measures:
- 9 1/2 " wide, 9 1/2 " tall and 3 1/2 " deep.
This versatile cross body can be adapted from sporty to chic, day or night, or from vintage to totally modern.
