The ordering and purchase process was great. The delivery arrived in reasonable time given my remote location. The bag is a fantastic opportunity for me to adapt to a “man bag” after being used to nothing more than my pockets. It’s compact but holds everything I need to keep with me. Fabulous construction and versatility.

This bag has become my go to for all my EDC gear. It has enough room to hold keys, wallet, phone and more. Built to last a lifetime. I will be taking this bag with me whenever I leave the house.

Thanks so much, Konrad. It's great to hear the Drake is suited to you so perfectly! Hope it serves you well for years to come.

Have tried several smaller bags for everyday carry and never been truly happy until I saw this while considering the Jones bag. The Drake is such a great size for everyday essentials and I’m really pleased with it. It’s very well made and a decent width and sturdy strap. I used the bag this morning to empty my pockets and carry my sunglasses, AirPods and camera into town while dropping my 13-year-old daughter off for what she insists is definitely not a date…

Thanks Adam! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying Drake and it's strap. Thanks for sharing your experience, hope your daughter had fun on her definitely not date!

Imagine using a Carhartt Detroit Duck Jacket (non-WIP) as a bag!

I’ve gone through tons of body bags like your standard Herschel’s, Calvin Klein, Nike, SikSilk etc. and one thing I noticed is how thin they are as companies surely cut corners when mass producing them. I wouldn’t buy luxury brands either because I know they won’t last my lifestyle of using bags as tools and not fashion accessories.

This bag I think is the endgame folks! It’s compact enough to be versatile in all situations as I’ve worn it with an overcoat as well as my work jacket and it’s seamless. I could fit my Sony RX100 VII with 3rd party lens attachments easily and it’s thick enough to take hits. You could re-wax it for improved water resistance and the style oozes adventure. The orange styling of the interior and the leather patch is a nice premium touch too. I was hesitant at first but now I’m a convert, I’m not as passionate as giving reviews especially for online surveys but this one truly deserves it!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, John! It's so amazing to hear how well the bag works for you & your lifestyle. Your support means a lot to us, we really appreciate it!

Just the ticket!

The Drake Cross Body Bag is my go-to tote now after trying all sorts of travel satchels over many years. I don't like to carry stuff in my pockets and this bag really fits the bill for the minimalist traveller.
It's stylish, strongly built to last and very secure for my wallet and passport.
It's just the ticket!

A good bit of kit.

I got the Drake to put what I would normally put in my pockets in plus my mobile phone. It works for me plus it protects my phone. It's not meant for your lunchbox but a sachet of Manshake will fit. I think it is a quality product.

Well designed and functional cross body bag

Love the unique combo design with quality canvas, genuine leather and solid brass in a compact cross body bag. It is a functional bag with 4 compartments for everyday carry items plus plenty of room for phone, power bank and passports.

Cheers Hanley- super stoked this bag made it with you to Japan!

Bloody great bag. My wife crashed her motorcycle while wearing this bag. She suffered a broken arm but the bag was unharmed.

Purchased the Drake bag a few years ago as it was perfect for my needs and it was a locally made product. Well made, comfortable and fitted my phone, glasses and keys. My son-in-law had the cross fitting bag favoured by motorcycle riders and I liked that very much so I approached the Drake with confidence. A few years in and the main zip developed a problem - zips being notoriously prone to Sod's Law - and I contacted the company about this. After a couple of emails I sent my bag in and after a few weeks wait (the Drake is a popular seller) I received a brand new bag with different zip, a press dud flap and wider strap - all gratis due to the lifetime guarantee....special thanks to Tia for professional courtesies.

Hi Mark, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're glad you're happy with your new bag and our lifetime guarantee. We're glad Tia could assist you aswell. Enjoy your bag for many more years!

Well, I bought one for myself and one as a gift for a friend. And we both love them since we’ll be travelling overseas later this year they will be really handy for passport, airline tickets, itinerary and what not.
So happy with the quality I can see them lasting for years and years.
And one of my work colleagues is thinking of buying one.

Really great to hear you (and your friend) like the quality & handiness of the bag! Thanks so much for taking time to review Brian. Have fun on your travels!

Drake canvas cross body bag

I love this item. I originally ordered the pup EDC and it was just too small for my every day carry items. This bag allows me to go pockets empty which is what I wanted. As with all JS products, they are quality made!

Fit the bill nicely

I have been searching for a good quality small, stylish shoulder bag to carry my wallet, phone, notebook and glasses when visiting the city. The Drake Canvas Cross Body Bag looked like it would tick all the boxes. I am really pleased with how it has turned out and I acknowledge the quality of both the design and the workmanship. Much appreciated.
