Perfect for customizing to create your own version – instructions are given for adapting the front closure to either a simple snap fastener or hook and ring, as you prefer.
The design of the Retro Style Sling is particularly versatile – the bag can be worn crossbody (great for cyclists!) across the chest or back, or over the shoulder for a more relaxed look.
