Our Ellington Leather Crossbody Purse is perfect for your daily use or a night out. This lightweight and compact full grain leather shoulder bag opens to include an interior hanging leather zipped pocket for organization. Unlined with a soft, luxurious suede interior. Closes securely with a smooth, antique metal YKK zipper.
Features
Pairs with our Maple leather and Navy faux suede Medium Zippered Pouch (sold separately). Wristlet unsnaps and secures inside the bag.
Includes a detachable leather Ellington Key Strap ($15 value).
Comfortable, adjustable strap easily converts to a crossbody or shoulder bag
All Mission Mercantile leathers are sourced from a Gold Rated tannery certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), an international organization that works to ensure sustainable environmental practices in the leather industry.
I buy purses, billfolds, shoes, and such planning to wear/use them for a long time - say, 15 -20 years for purses and billfolds. Fashion trends are just not important to me. But a clean looking line, efficient arrangement, and durability are key to my choices. Check with me in 10 years and we'll see how this purse holds up.
Suggestions (minor): - an interior, durable zippered pocket in the middle; - finding a way to more completely close the opening (not bad as is, just a very small gap).
I appreciate: - seems to be good quality leather; ; - zipper looks to be sturdy; - strap seems to be securely and durably attached.
Again - check with me in 10 years ;-)

She is a purse collector and LOVES MK and Coach.
I know there is life beyond MK and Coach, so I just happen to see this cross body purse.
She absolutely loves it . It’s very well made and elegant as well .
It’s all leather and no artificial ingredients.
Well Done !!!

Couldn't be happier with my purchase and needless to say my wife was thrilled with her new purse. As said, the support and contact with the company is exemplary and leaves nothing to be desired. Will be shopping here again! Thank you again, happy wife, happy life!

This is a beautifully made bag. It will probably last longer than I will. You can tell, however, that this isn't a company that specializes in handbags or there would be an outside pocket for essentials. Still, I would highly recommend.
Thanks Sharon! We've given your feedback to our design team and they're working on adding an outside pocket. :)

I absolutely love this purse. The quality is amazing. So happy I bought this purse. The constant communication with the company is top notch.
We established Mission Mercantile based on the belief that excellence is not disposable, that manufacturing techniques centuries old need not be obsolete, and that true value rests far beyond the instant gratification of how well a product looks and functions today. The true measure of quality in our committed view is how well a product looks, functions and becomes part of you … far into tomorrow.
We proudly produce all our hand-crafted wares in one of our wholly-owned North American factories that are located in Texas and the world-renowned leather region of Mexico. Our presence in both locations ensures we always have access to the absolute best materials and local expert artisans who are all committed to our Handshake Promise Guarantee. We source leather, canvas and materials known for their quality and durability from the US, Mexico, Italy and other worldwide sources.
So while most of the world is preoccupied with looking for shortcuts in an ever accelerating cycle of faster, easier, more, and repeat, our passion for distinctive leather goods and the skilled, patient craftsmanship of another era sent us looking for a longcut approach to Mission Mercantile’s materials and construction.
We use exclusively the highest quality, most durable and distinctive leather available anywhere: our leather is carefully selected by discerning eyes, hide by hide.
Your word was your bond — and a handshake was more binding than a contract. Mission Mercantile believes in that simple, reliable right-mindedness.
We are delighted to offer you free lifetime repair or replacement for issues with materials or craftsmanship. Unfortunate damage due to normal wear and tear or misuse can be repaired for a reasonable charge. Just reach out to our Shopkeeper@missionmercantile.com and we'll take great care of you.
Your purchase just not the right fit for you, so you need to return it? No worries, just send it back for a refund or exchange within 30 days from your purchase.
In this present era of faster, easier, more, and repeat, the “selfie” has surpassed self-reliance and the largely surface-deep, disposable culture that prevails leaves handshake integrity a rare commodity. In many quarters, it is effectively extinct.
But for Mission Mercantile today, tomorrow, and forever, handshake integrity is our standard. It’s in our attention to detail. It’s in our uncompromising quality control. It’s in our signature 100% full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather. It’s in every antique brass rivet. It’s in our return policy. It’s in our customer service. It’s in our pledge to always make it right.
Call it a hands-forward, hands-on commitment to excellence. Satisfaction unconditionally guaranteed.
We stand behind our products 100 percent. That's our Handshake Promise. If it’s just not the right fit for you, send it back for a refund or exchange within 30 days from your purchase.
Click hereto learn more about our Return Policy. Within 30 days of purchase you may exchange or return your product(s) purchased directly from Mission Mercantile. For all year-end holiday purchases, the return period is extended until the end of the following January. We'll send you a Return Authorization for your product(s). Due to their generous final sale discount, Last Chance clearance products are non-returnable. If the product has been damaged or altered, which includes personalization, from its original condition, we won't be able to refund or exchange your purchase.

I absolutely love this purse. The quality is amazing. So happy I bought this purse. The constant communication with the company is top notch.
When we feature a ‘traditional retail’ price on our product pages, it represents the estimated price that other retailers charge for a similar-quality product that typically aren't made in their own shop.
Every Mission Mercantile product is handcrafted in our own shop, and our ‘traditional retail’ price is not reflective of our own pricing, but rather the price you should expect to pay for brands of similar quality to Mission Mercantile.
We research prices across the industry to ensure these 'traditional retail' prices represent realistic competitor pricing, but we encourage our customers to conduct their own individual research.
