The MERIDIAN is a chest sling built for the man who needs more organisation than a single compartment allows. The body is tall and vertical — carried diagonally across the chest on a single wide strap. Both hands free. Everything in its place.
The front panel opens via a full U-shaped zip — left side, across the bottom, right side — revealing two distinct compartments separated by a leather divider. Upper compartment for a phone, wallet, and cards. Lower compartment for keys, cables, a power bank, or anything that needs its own space. A narrow side zip pocket handles earphones or a charging cable without opening the main bag. The signature V-notch leather detail at the top strap attachment is the mark of the MERIDIAN.
Full grain Crazy Horse leather in dark coffee and warm brown. The dark coffee is deep and near-black — it develops a subtle sheen with carry. The brown is warm and honey-toned — it shows the natural markings of the hide and develops a rich personal patina over time. Both surfaces are matte and slightly waxy. Both are naturally water resistant.
Wide nylon webbing strap with leather trim at the attachment points. Rigid leather top handle. Two bottom D-rings. Antique hardware. Contrast cream stitching throughout.
The MERIDIAN. Two compartments. One diagonal line. No compromise.

Conditioning
Apply a natural leather conditioner — beeswax-based or lanolin-based — every 3 to 6 months. Use a soft cloth, work in small circular motions, allow to absorb for 30 minutes, then buff lightly. The leather will darken slightly and return to its natural colour as it dries.
Cleaning
For surface dirt — a slightly damp cloth, no soap. For deeper marks — a small amount of saddle soap on a damp cloth, worked gently into the leather, wiped clean, then dried with a soft cloth.
Water
East African full grain leather is naturally water resistant. If the bag gets wet — wipe dry immediately and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use a hair dryer or place near a radiator.
The Patina
The darkening, softening, and character development that appears over months of carry is not wear. It is the leather responding to your use. Condition it regularly and it will continue to develop for years. No two bags age identically. That is the point.
Storage
Store in the dust bag when not in use. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods. Do not compress under heavy objects.
