Leather Crossbody Bag in Sand
The Pioneer Mini Leather Crossbody Bag in Sand blends form and function with minimalist styling. Handcrafted on the Devon/Cornwall border in the South West UK, this beautiful crossbody celebrates the artistry of sustainable craftsmanship.

Sized for the minimalist, the Pioneer Mini is designed to hold your essentials with the option to add an integrated card holder. The fully adjustable shoulder strap, secured by a solid brass buckle and press stud, ensures comfort and versatility when worn crossbody high and close to the body or slung at the hip.
It measures 6 inches height, 8 inches width (external), 7.5 inches width (internal), 2 inches depth. The strap length can be adjusted from 36 to 46 inches.

Natural Vegetable Tanned Leather
Natural Vegetable Tanned Leather
Our bags are crafted from fine full-grain Italian vegetable tanned leather of high provenance. This environmentally sustainable leather is produced by a traditional process of vegetable tanning, using all-natural products (derived from tree bark, berries and leaves) to transform the hide.
In line with our 'made to last' ethos, we only use the best quality fittings in our beautifully crafted bags:
- YKK zip for internal pocket.
- Polished gold magnetic clasps for flap closure.
- Solid brass buckle and Sam Browne press studs for strap.

from 72 reviewsAnother stunning bag from CARV
Such craftsmanship and quality, I’m really pleased with the size, design and finish.
Thank you very much again !
Exactly what I wanted, great workmanship
Love it.
This beautiful leather hanger makes the space pleasant and warm!
Bought this wallet for a gift for my partner and he absolutely loves it! Really great quality and lovely leather
This is the bag I've been looking for - I needed something small and compact to carry a few bits and this is more than I could have hoped for! It is clearly made with care and is a beauty - thank you!
This purse is a dream! The leather is so soft and has a wonderful texture. The purse holds plenty of cards with a generous coin pocket. I just love it!
Honestly one of the most beautiful bags I've seen! Perfectly made and such a lovely size, I couldn't be happier. Will definitely be back!
Beautifully crafted from top-quality materials. I opted for the zip version and initially had concerns that the zipper might stick out awkwardly, but it’s seamlessly integrated into the design. Every detail feels carefully considered, and the finish is flawless. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone in the market for a British-made wallet.
This cross body pioneer is gorgeous… click the cheeky inner pocket that means you can just pop your phone or keys in. Just the right size. Top quality, thank you again x
I stumbled across Carv by accident whilst searching for a quality leather bum bag for my holiday.
I immediately fell in love with the Sedna - exactly what I was looking for.
Unboxing, it was even more gorgeous. Great quality leather, fabulous design. First purchase of many
I purchased this product about eight years ago at Broadway Market and have loved it ever since. I've been using it as both a cardholder and a wallet, and it's still in excellent condition. Therefore I purchased a couple more online this time!
Point for improvement: I noticed that the colour options online could be clearer. It would be helpful to have a colour map or images when selecting colours, as I found it difficult to distinguish between ‘burnt’ and ‘natural.’
Amazing as usual! never disapoimted with anything I buy from Carv, Becky you are amazing! thanks so much xx
Just gorgeous, I buy Carv bags for my daughter’s birthdays for a while now and they are always received with absolute joy, used every day and lovingly looked after. I cannot recommend the styling, quality of materials and workmanship highly enough.
I am obsessed with my new CARV bag - never has a bag been so beautifully made! I can't wait for future purchases - Beckys craftsmanship is exquisite!
Beautiful leather and beautifully made purse. I didnt give five stars as I find it a little to ‘deep’ for me to see the coins and pick them up, but I’m an ‘older’ person so this mightn’t be a problem for others.
