London Sling Large

I went back and forth about which size London Sling to get, and I’m SO glad I chose the Large. It gives me the casual crossbody style I wanted but actually has enough space for real life! Wallet, sunglasses, phone, keys, makeup, and all the random things I somehow accumulate throughout the day fit comfortably.

I also love how understated the design is. There aren’t a million unnecessary details competing with that gorgeous leather. It’s simple, classic, and feels incredibly well constructed. The hardware is beautiful too and gives it just enough polish.

This is exactly why I love Love 41—the bag is stylish now, but it doesn’t feel trendy or disposable. I can see myself carrying this for years.

Definitely a 5-star purchase! — Kirsten

I didn’t realize how much I needed the London Sling Large until I started carrying it. It has that perfect relaxed shape that looks effortlessly stylish, but it’s also incredibly practical. There’s plenty of room for everything I need during the day without feeling like I’m carrying a giant tote.

The leather is what really makes it. It feels substantial and beautifully made, and I love that little marks and variations just add character instead of making me worry about babying my bag. The wide adjustable strap is comfortable, and I can wear it exactly where I want it.

This has quickly become the bag I reach for every morning. Five stars and absolutely worth it. — Casey

I already had the small version in tobacco (love it!) and finally pulled the trigger on the chestnut large sling. I wanted a slightly less casual bag, hence the chestnut color. It is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect in between of soft and structured. In a pinch, it fits a 13 inch laptop and it fits all the essentials plus a big water bottle. The way it drapes around my body makes it look a lot sleeker / smaller than it is. Thank you, Suzette, this design is an absolute winner!

As a former New Yorker who practically lived in black leather year-round (and worked in Fashion PR and NYFW for over a decade) I can honestly say the London Sling Large in Tumbled Black has become an absolute staple in my wardrobe. It has that rare combination of effortless style, practicality, and timeless sophistication that is almost impossible to find.

The moment I opened it, I knew this was going to become my everyday bag. The tumbled black leather is incredibly rich and luxurious while still feeling relaxed and understated enough to wear with literally everything. It somehow works equally well with an oversized coat and boots in the city, casual travel outfits, or dressed-up evenings out.

What I love most is the shape and functionality. It carries so much more than you expect without ever feeling bulky or heavy. The design feels modern and elevated while still being practical enough for real everyday life. I can fit all of my essentials comfortably while still keeping everything organized and easy to access.

The craftsmanship is exactly what I have come to expect from Saddleback: beautifully overbuilt, durable, and made to age gracefully over time. The leather already has that soft, broken-in feel while still looking incredibly polished and expensive.

I have owned designer bags that cost significantly more than this, and honestly, this feels far more special and authentic. It does not scream for attention, yet constantly gets compliments because it simply looks effortlessly beautiful.

If you are looking for that one black leather bag that becomes part of your everyday uniform and somehow works with everything, this is it. Timeless, functional, and absolutely stunning.

I purchased one for myself last month and got a lot of compliments. My sister saw this bag and loved it, so I surprised her with one…. Thank you Saddleback for an amazing bag that a lady can carry everything in!

I purchased this bag as a birthday gift for myself and I’m absolutely in love with it. Is perfectly designed and it carries so much! My only complaint is that I wasn’t able to purchase one of those multi color straps because they’re sold out! Please get more!!! Thank you for this beautiful sling bag❤️❤️

This bag is so beautiful!! I love the pockets to keep me organized. This is the first black bag I purchased, I just couldn’t resist the black pebbling. It’s perfect as my everyday carry I love the crossbody feature which allows me to be hands free.

I absolutely love this large sling, it’s going to make my the perfect travel ? bag ?.I decided to buy this sling because I do business purchases and i need just like a typical folder ? to keep documents. This sling is so cool you can wear it up or down which is so important to me sometimes i travel to questionable ? places.

This bag exceeded my expectations in every way . The weight is perfect . The design is so practical and quality unmatched. I highly recommend . One of the best investments I’ve made . Thank you creating a perfect every day bag .

This gorgeous leather bag from Love 41 is so well thought out in its design. The large is a great size for “all the things”, but carries small with its lovely soft leather. I love that it is unlined. If you want to add a bit more structure, a soft felt bag insert does this with ease. The double zipper pulls at the top – perfection for those of us that like to pick which side to carry and use. Why don’t all zipper bags have this? The interior and exterior pockets – super handy. This is so much more than a sling, but also a perfect zipper closure, east-west crossbody and shoulder bag! I hope you always keep this bag in stock, and seasonally add new colors for my collection! I would sure love a black one! Thank you for this well thought out design Love 41 team! A+++

Large London Sling

I purchased both the large and small London slings, and honestly they almost feel like two different bags. They are both fabulous slings, crossbodys or shoulder bags, but the large one is a good bit larger. Even though it is larger, it still magically conforms to the shape of my body and doesn't stick out or bump into things in tight spaces. I do love the two outside pockets for my phone and my keys. Inside I like to put my lip stuff and sunscreen in zip pocket. The shape and size of this bag is freaking amazing. It is super flattering on and has that cool chick vibe about it. The zippers run like butter and the long pull tags are easy to find without even looking down. I love the versatility and functionality and the fact that it is so comfortable on. It's a winner in every respect and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. This bag is perfect no matter where you go or what you're wearing. It looks expensive and converts to whatever style you need (sling, crossbody, shoulder or clutch). Yes! Yes! Yes!

I purchased the tobacco London sling. The color is really nice and the bag itself is very soft, yet still has plenty of body to it and drapes beautifully. I've worn the bag a few days now and have decided it's the "where have you been my whole life?" bag! I say that because it's so versatile and so cool looking. I love how you can wear it in the front, or whip it around and wear it on your back. You can also wear it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody. I swear it works equally as well, and is just as comfortable no matter how I choose to wear it! I also love that it has an outside pocket that is plenty big enough for phone and glasses. Inside I love the zip pocket to put my lipstick and anything else that tends to come undone and make a mess. The slip pocket is perfect for my keys. There is a ton of space inside the main compartment for a full size wallet and a small moleskin or notebook as well. I have purchased so many slings, even the super popular one that everyone was wearing, but they all fall short compared to this one. The London sling really suits me, the size of this one is fantastic. It's very rare that I'm this pleased with a purchase but I'm over the moon for this one! Bravo Suzette!!

The limited edition color is gorgeous and needs to be brought into all the Love 41 tumbled designs!! The one I received is extra tumbled on the back making it super floppy, almost too floppy for the size and I prefer the extra tumbled look. All my everyday items fit with some room to spare. I'm not a crossbody girl, but I will say this bag does look better crossbody on me than on the shoulder, I have a smaller frame and feel it is too wide for shoulder carry as it makes the bag bunch up and gives it a gym bag feel with all the tumbling on the one I got. I did lengthen the strap and it helped some. Wearing crossbody on this style is actually comfortable as the bag does mold to you and is not heavy in the slightest. Although this is not a tote style I still would have liked a key clip to hold my keyfob so it doesn't sink to the bottom. My personal preference would be to have the interior pockets staggered like the small weekend tote as it makes access to the back pocket easier and have them opposite, or on the back side as the pockets are very generous interior and exterior, but too many things piled into them all and it distorts the bag and makes it look lopsided being too filled on the front. I really like the bag and still playing with the strap length and how to organize the pockets to have it work best for me.
