Creekside Leatherette Explorer Crossbody Bag
Our roomiest Creekside bag, built for someone who carries a little more. The Explorer Crossbody is the largest bag in our Creekside leatherette collection, with multiple exterior pockets for a phone, cards, and everyday essentials, all in laser-engravable leatherette that takes a deep, permanent personalization. A great gift for the traveler or everyday-carry minimalist on your list — big enough to be genuinely useful, small enough to stay hands-free.
What's included. Every personalized item includes engraving of your text, your own vector artwork, or a design from us — at no extra charge.
Artwork that needs converting. If you send a logo or image that isn't already engraving-ready, we convert it:
Not needed — $0. Text only, a vector file, or one of our designs.
Tier 1 — $5. A simple, high-resolution image.
Tier 2 — $15. Complex artwork or fine detail.
Tier 3 — quoted. Complex artwork supplied at poor quality. This one needs review before you buy, so we can tell you what's achievable and what it costs.
"High resolution" means any vector file, or a raster image at least 1000 pixels on its long edge.
Sending us your artwork. Two ways, whichever suits you. Before you order — send it through our artwork submission form and we'll grade it within 1 business day, so you know the cost before you commit. After you order — send it through the same form with your order number and we'll key it to your order; if it needs a higher conversion tier than you selected, we'll invoice the difference before anything goes into production.
The form accepts vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) and high-resolution JPG or PNG. If yours is an SVG, zip it before uploading — that's a limit of the upload field, not of what we can engrave.
You approve before we engrave. Every personalized order gets a proof. Nothing is cut until you've approved it, and the turnaround clock starts from your approval.
Fonts. Montserrat, Bebas Neue, Playfair Display, Sacramento, Great Vibes, Amatic SC. You can also name your own, or let us choose to suit the piece.
Character limits vary by product and are shown on the engraving field for each item.
The engraving shown in our product photos is a sample design, to show placement and finish — your item is engraved with your text or artwork.
For our full policy on proof revisions, logo fitting, and artwork retention, see our Return Policy page.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth, slightly damp with water or mild soap. Dry with a second cloth and let it air dry fully before storing.
Do not use leather conditioner, oil, wax, saddle soap or alcohol-based cleaners. Leatherette is a polyurethane surface on a fabric backing, and those products break the coating down rather than feed it. Keep it away from prolonged direct sun and high heat, which fade the colour and can cause the surface to stiffen or peel.
Turnaround. Personalized items ship 7–10 business days after you approve your proof. Artwork sent for review before purchase is graded within 1 business day.
Where we ship from. Leakey, Texas.

Personalized items. Once you've approved your proof, personalized pieces are made to order and can't be resold, so they're final sale. This is exactly why we proof every order first — check the spelling, the font and the placement carefully before you approve, and tell us if anything is off. We'd far rather fix it at the proof stage.
Blank items. Anything bought without engraving can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of delivery, in its original condition.
If something arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, that's on us — get in touch and we'll put it right.

Genuine leather or leatherette — does that change how I care for it? Leatherette. Every bag and cover in this line is leatherette (a polyurethane surface, not animal hide), so our Leatherette care guidance applies — never leather conditioner or oil, which will damage the coating rather than feed it.
How big is it — will it hold a phone and wallet, or is it a full everyday bag? It depends on the model. The Crescent Bag (7" x 11") is a slim, flat silhouette built for cards, cash and a phone. The Urban Crossbody Bag (4.5" x 7.5" x 2.5") is a compact crossbody sized for a phone, wallet and keys. The Explorer Crossbody Bag (6.25" x 10" x 3") is the largest of the three, closer to a full everyday bag.
Does it have multiple compartments or pockets? Compartment layout isn't specified in our product data — check the listing photos for pocket detail, or ask us before ordering if that's a deciding factor for you.
