Around here, this is known as "The Gateway Bag." It is our most popular bag and very often what introduces folks into the wonderful world of Howl + Hide. Wear it three ways: crossbody, over the shoulder, or as a belt bag. The chevron touch on the flap complimented by the solid brass hardware makes this a truly unique piece.

The Gateway Bag
This bag is everything! Wear it as a belt or sling. Perfect size. Locally made. Real leather. My favorite. Go ahead and buy it in every color and design!

Awesome bag!
Deceptively roomy and fits all of my essentials! Sanitizer, card holder, lipstick, phone, hand lotion, and my small travel pen. Great bag that you won’t regret buying! And the best park, support small business with a product made in the USA.

Exactly what I was looking for
The Penny is the right size, can be casual or fancy and the ocean color is unlike any bag out there. I love it and feel extra good that I’m buying and wearing art made at home in Indiana.
