Description
The HACKNEY Crossbody Bag is a refined everyday essential, handcrafted from premium full-grain pebble grain leather in a soft, ethereal lilac. Featuring a sleek, boxy camera-bag silhouette and a signature houndstooth crossbody strap with gold hardware, it's structured enough to hold its shape yet compact enough to take anywhere. Finished with a matching leather tassel and the iconic Assots gold emblem, the HACKNEY is for the woman who lets her style speak softly and say everything.
- Premium Full-Grain Pebble Leather – Supple, tactile and crafted to last, with a texture that deepens in character beautifully with wear.
- Compact Camera-Bag Silhouette – A sleek, boxy rectangular profile that sits close to the body, structured enough to hold its form, compact enough to take absolutely everywhere.
- Signature Houndstooth Crossbody Strap – Wide, adjustable and woven in a tone-matched houndstooth pattern with premium gold-finish hardware. Assots' most-loved finishing touch.

Leather Care
Full grain leather is a natural material and it only gets better with age. A little care keeps it looking its best for years.
- Keep it cool and dry. Prolonged damp, heat and direct sunlight are the things to avoid.
- Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth.
- Condition sparingly every three to six months to keep the leather supple.
- Keep away from oils, perfume and make up, and watch for dye transfer from dark denim.
- Between outings, stuff with tissue and rest it in its dust bag so it holds its shape.
- If it gets caught in the rain, let it dry naturally. Never use a tumble dryer or direct heat.

A family business for over thirty years
We design and make our own bags rather than buying them in from a catalogue. It is how we offer leather of this standard without the markup a name on the front usually carries.
Assots London
Up close: how every Assots bag is made
Designed and made by our family business, in limited runs. Here is what to look for.
-
Pebble grain, all over
The whole body of every style is real pebble grain leather, a soft, textured grain that gains character the more it is carried.

-
Gold, down to the zip
Zips, clasps and strap rings are all finished in gold, to sit with the gold Assots emblem on the front.

-
Finished inside too
Every style is lined, and the Hackney adds a zipped pocket inside to keep cards and keys apart.

A 365-day guarantee
If the stitching, edges, zips, hardware or lining fail through a fault in the making, we will repair, replace or refund it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much fits inside, and is it big enough for everyday?
Comfortably, yes. Our crossbody styles are cut around what you actually carry: phone, card holder or purse, keys, sunglasses and a lipstick. Inside you will find a zipped pocket for the small things that otherwise disappear. Exact internal measurements are listed under Size and Fit above, so you can check against what you carry today.
Will my phone fit?
Every current smartphone fits, including the larger Pro Max and Ultra models. If you would rather be certain, the internal dimensions are given under Size and Fit and take a moment to check against your own.
Is it real leather?
Yes. Full grain leather, the top cut of the hide with the natural grain left intact. It is the most hard wearing leather there is, and the only one that earns a real patina with age. No bonded leather, no coated splits, no synthetics.
How long are the straps, and can I change them?
Each bag arrives with an adjustable leather shoulder strap, 1.5 cm wide and adjustable from 75 to 139 cm, so it can be worn on the shoulder or across the body. Our fabric straps are wider at 4 cm and adjust from 70 to 122 cm. The clips are a standard fitting, so changing a strap takes seconds and one bag can be worn quietly by day and dressed up by evening.
How do returns and guarantees work?
You have sixty days to live with it. If it is not right, contact us and we will arrange a replacement or a refund with no fuss. We ask only that the piece comes back unused and in its original condition with tags and packaging, and that you include your order number so we can find you quickly. Every Assots piece is also covered against manufacturing faults for 365 days from delivery.
