The Amber Crossbody is a lightweight bag that features a front vertical zipper pocket that holds your cell phone, keys, or anything you need quick access to. There is also a second zipper pocket on the back for more items to be secured. This bag has a soft feel with an attractive clean front design. There is a flat base which gives the bag more depth providing ample room in the interior and the stylish hidden magnet is strong enough to keep your bag closed. The interior is simple yet functional and has a zippered pocket on the back wall and a 2 sectioned slip pocket on the front wall. The slight A-line angle gives this bag a stylish design. The unique Strap Tabs feature 6 rivets per side and a detailed strap that can go from a crossbody length to shoulder strap length with the simple adjustment of the Button Studs.

HIDDEN MAGNET INFORMATION
I am using Buckleguy’s 20mm hidden magnets for this bag. These magnets have a gold cap on one piece and a silver cap on the other. Depending on the magnets you are using yours may not have these caps. You will need to make sure that your magnets are very strong and hold your bag together. Test your magnets with 2 pieces of Exterior between them to see if they grab well, if they don’t you will need to get ones that do.
