Every successful business has a turning point—a moment when things shift and a new path emerges. For me, that turning point was a bag. Yes, a bag. This wasn't just any bag though, it was the bag that changed the course of my entire business, taking me from creating custom portraits and nursery décor to establishing a Brisbane-based brand with an epic team and a clear mission: solving your daily annoyances, one very handy accessory at a time.
Let’s talk about a common frustration: you want to be the kind of person who carries a smaller bag but you don’t want to sacrifice your essentials, especially not your large phone. And let’s be honest, is it too much to ask for comfy, fully-adjustable straps?
The Sidekick Crossbody Bag's the accessory that kicked off our journey to make bags functional again. This deceptively roomy bag is designed to carry everything you need for the day and then some. Its wider gusset allows for more storage without adding bulk, making it the go-to for those who demand both form and function. No wonder some of our customers have it in 8+ colours!
Here's why the Sidekick Crossbody Bag's a game-changer:
- Sustainably-sourced, premium full-grain leather: We don’t just care about how our bags look, we care about how they’re made. That’s why we use top-notch, sustainably-sourced leather.
- Perfectly practical size: It’s like a Mary Poppins bag but chic. It fits a 600ml bottle, A5 notebook and even an iPad Mini.
- Roomy without the bulk: The 8cm gusset provides extra room without making the bag feel bulky or cumbersome.
- Adjustable strap: The strap is fully-adjustable, ranging from shoulder-length to crossbody, and is size-inclusive, up to 140cm.
- Comfortable to carry: The padded, removable shoulder/grab strap ensures comfort, no matter how long you carry it.
- Easy-access phone pocket: A magnetic closure keeps your large phone safe but within easy reach.
- Key clip: Say goodbye to digging for your keys at the bottom of your bag.
- Coffee-coloured lining: The interior lining isn’t just stylish, it’s functional, allowing you to see what’s inside.
- Water-resistant lining: Because life happens, and a little spill shouldn’t ruin your day.
- Feet to protect the bottom: Keeps your bag looking pristine for longer.
This bag's more than just an accessory, it's the embodiment of a philosophy that function should never be optional. It’s the reason our brand exists today and it’s why we continue to grow and innovate, always with the goal of making your life just a little bit easier.
