Men's Crossbody Bags: FAQs

What is the difference between a crossbody bag, a gent's bag and a messenger bag?

A crossbody bag is a compact bag worn across the body on an adjustable strap, like the James Crossbody Bag. A gent's bag, such as the Armstrong Gent's Bag With Hand Strap, is an organiser carried by a wrist strap. A messenger bag is larger and fits a laptop, like the Oryx 13" Leather Messenger Bag.

Are Brando men's crossbody bags leather?

Most are genuine leather: the James bags use full-grain oily pull-up leather, the Impala Gents Crossbody Bag uses genuine Impala leather, and the Oryx, Brosnan and Armstrong styles are leather too. The Duvall Canvas Messenger Bag is canvas, for a lighter, casual option.

Which men's crossbody bags fit a laptop?

The Oryx 13" Leather Messenger Bag and the Duvall Canvas Messenger Bag both fit a 13" laptop. The smaller crossbody and gent's bags are sized for a phone, wallet, keys and cards.

Do any Brando crossbody bags have RFID protection?

Yes. The James Crossbody Bag with two zip compartments has an RFID-protected front zip pocket, and the James Waistbag has RFID-protected pockets inside and on the back.

Is Brando a South African brand?
