A genuine brown nubuck leather hip bag handcrafted in the EU — three zipped compartments keep your phone, wallet, and keys sorted. Adjustable 90–130 cm strap wears at the waist or crossbody. Laser-personalized on request. Compact, practical, the most accessible leather gift in the range at EUR 24.
About This Hip Bag
A hip bag earns its place when you need more than pockets but less than a full bag. This one is made from genuine nubuck leather in warm brown, which starts soft and only gets better with wear. The surface develops a personal patina over time, so the bag looks more lived-in and characterful the longer it is used.
Three zipped compartments keep things sorted without digging. The front pocket takes a phone and small essentials. The main compartment holds a folded wallet, keys, and documents. The rear pocket sits flat against the body for cards or travel documents you want accessed quickly.
The adjustable strap works at waist level for cycling and everyday errands, or lengthens to a crossbody fit for travel. At EUR 24, it is one of the most accessible items in the range and one of the best options for a practical gift for someone who prefers leather over nylon.
Add a personal engraving: laser-engrave initials, a name, or a short date onto the leather. The mark is permanent, ages with the leather, and takes less than 30 seconds to add at checkout.

To add a custom logo or graphic, upload a PNG file with clean black outlines. If you are not sure whether your file will work, email it to support@thecrafthousegift.eu and we will confirm before starting.
The engraving is applied by laser directly to the nubuck surface. It creates a precise, permanent mark that does not fade, peel, or wash away. The contrast deepens slightly as the leather develops its patina.

Care Instructions
Day-to-day care:
- Brush gently with a soft nubuck or suede brush to lift dust and restore the velvet texture
- Use a colourless nubuck protector spray before first use and reapply every few months
- Do not apply standard leather conditioners, oils, or waxes (these flatten the nubuck texture)
If the leather gets wet:
- Pat dry with a clean cloth, do not rub
- Allow to air-dry at room temperature away from heat sources
- Brush with a nubuck brush once fully dry to restore the texture
Stains:
- Use a nubuck cleaning block or pencil eraser for dry marks
- For oil stains, sprinkle cornstarch, leave for 2 hours, then brush off
- Avoid water-based cleaners on fresh stains
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is nubuck leather?
A: Nubuck is a type of genuine leather where the outer grain has been lightly sanded to create a soft, velvety texture. It comes from the top layer of the hide, which makes it stronger than suede. The surface gains character over time, developing a personal patina with regular use.
Q: How is a hip bag different from a bum bag?
A: They are the same style of bag. Hip bag, bum bag, and belt bag all refer to a compact bag worn at the waist or across the chest using an adjustable strap. This one works in both positions.
Q: How much fits inside the hip bag?
A: The main compartment fits a folded wallet, keys, travel documents, and a small water bottle or snack. The front pocket fits a smartphone up to 6.5 inches. The rear flat pocket holds cards, a passport, or folded notes.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody instead of at the waist?
A: Yes. The strap adjusts from 90 to 130 cm, which covers waist carry for most body sizes and also allows a crossbody fit over the chest or back. It is a common choice for city travel, cycling, and hiking.
Q: Is this a good gift for men who travel?
A: It is a practical gift for anyone who travels light. The three zipped compartments keep documents, cards, and a phone organized without unpacking a full bag at airport security. Add an engraving to make it personal.
Q: Is this bag waterproof?
A: Nubuck leather has natural water resistance but is not waterproof. For light rain it performs well, especially if treated with a nubuck protector spray. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.
