Balboa Leather Belt Bag Kit
11% off
This minimalist leather bag is perfect for carrying your essentials when you want to travel light. Wear it three ways—around your waist, across your body, or as a clutch—thanks to its adjustable strap. It’s a super fun, beginner-friendly project with no sewing required!
All you need is a metal dot anvil, a hammer, and a hard surface to set the hardware. Veg-tanned leather has natural inconsistencies that add to it's character. It will darken in color and develop a beautiful, worn-in patina with time. We recommend protecting your leather with leather salve.
This kit includes the leather blank, leather strap, all the hardware, paper pattern, and online video tutorial, with the option to add a dot anvil, ³⁄₃₂" drive punch, and leather paints.
Making multiples? Buy a 3-pack and save $25! (Does not include individual packaging. If you plan on gifting kits, we recommend purchasing individually.)
Dimensions (when closed): 7 ¹⁄₂” W x 4 ¼” H

Leather Info
Leather Info
Leather is a natural material, so slight inconsistencies in color and texture are to be expected. That's part of its charm! To reduce waste, we like to use as much of the hide as possible. We're big fans of embracing a little wabi sabi imperfection around here!
Our natural, vegetable tanned leather might feel a bit stiff at first, but it will soften nicely with use. The light tan color will also darken to a lovely caramel brown with time due to sun exposure and natural oils from your hands.

"I'm so happy with my belt bag, I love how lightweight it is and how it forces me to only bring the bare minimum when I go out. It fits my phone and my cardholder and that's honestly all I need most of the time."
