Yes, we measured the strap drop.

Find the bag you can picture—but can’t find.

Because “red leather crossbody with silver hardware and a back pocket” should be searchable.

Retail sites let you filter by color. We let you filter by strap drop, leather finish, hardware color, whether it fits a Kindle, and hundreds of other details.
