Crossover bag in salmon skin and leather closed with a rustic steel-glossy zip
Crossover bag in black salmon skin and leather, closed with a rustic steel-glossy zip.
This crossover bag is small, but big enough to hold what you need during a day.
It is also perfect as the little extra bag in your shopper, which can hold the things you can never find in your big bag when you need to be quick.
An everyday favourite from the Faroese designer duo Fosaa Design, who work in Nordic materials.
A little practical information about the crossover bag:
Materials:
The crossover bag is sewn in salmon skin combined with black, sturdy leather.
- The front is of black, tanned salmon skin. You can see and feel the rough structure of the salmon skin.
- The back is sewn in black, sturdy leather.
- The strap is of cotton.
Colour:
A crossover bag in black is a safe classic – a good colour that suits any wardrobe and style.
A good choice for both summer and winter.
Sizes and Dimensions:
The crossover bag is square and flat, and it can hold quite a lot because it has a wide base.
- Length: 22 cm
- Width: 15 cm
- Depth: 5 cm.
Handle/Strap:
The shoulder strap is made of black, sturdy cotton.
It can be adjusted in and out as desired, and at its longest it is 130 cm. That is big enough that you can get it over your head without having to open the strap.
It has a glossy buckle so you can adjust the length of the strap
It has a steel-glossy click buckle, so you can quickly open the strap if you can’t get it over your head.
Lining:
Crossover bag with black, good canvas.
Inside pocket:
Inside the bag there is a small slip pocket, which you can use to put your credit card and other small things that you need to find quickly.
Outer pocket:
On the back of the crossover bag there is an outer zip pocket.
That compartment gives the bag a little extra space for the things you would like to be able to pull quickly out of the bag, e.g. keys or lipstick.
Closure:
The bag is closed with a steel-glossy, rustic zip
The crossover bag keeps its shape well thanks to the good, sturdy materials.

Care of fish skin
Daily use and care:
-
Natural protection: The skin is finished from the tanning and has a natural resistance to everyday use.
-
Light wiping: Gently wipe over with a soft, lightly wrung-out cloth to remove dust and let the beautiful structure show.
-
Brush it lightly: If dust collects at the edges of the scales, you can run a soft, dry brush over the skin. Always remember to brush in with the direction of the scales.
-
Care: The fish leather can be refreshed with a good leather balm as needed.
Water and stains – When accidents happen:
-
Water and rain: If the product gets wet, simply shake off the excess water and let it dry slowly at room temperature.
-
Minor stains: Dab (do not rub) gently with a soft, firmly wrung-out cloth with lukewarm water.
What you should avoid
-
No direct heat: Never dry fish skin on a radiator, with a hair dryer or in direct sunlight. It dries out the leather, so it loses its suppleness.
-
Don’t pick at the structure of the skin: Do not bend or pick backwards at the individual scales – let them lie flat against the skin.
-
No strong chemicals: Never use stain remover, solvents or household soap.
-
Avoid tight plastic: Store the product in a fabric bag or leave it standing freely, so the material can breathe.

Do you want to know the story behind fish skin?
We have gathered a number of facts about the material, which will probably surprise some when you tell them about it.
History, Culture & Circular thinking
-
Pure by-catch from food culture: Fish skin is a 100% recycled by-product from the food industry (e.g. from salmon, cod and monkfish). Instead of letting the skin go to waste, it is transformed into an exclusive luxury leather.
- From shoes to exclusive bags: Transforming fish skin into durable shoes and clothing is not a new invention at all. History shows that for decades – and most recently during World War II – the enormous strength of the skin has been used for strong everyday products.
-
1-of-1 unique: Just like human fingerprints, no two fish skins are alike. The pattern and structure from the scales are shaped entirely naturally by nature itself, which gives your product a completely unique surface.
Properties that surprise:
-
9 times stronger than cow leather: Although fish skin feels incredibly thin, supple and featherlight, it is up to 9 times stronger than ordinary cow leather of the same thickness. This is because the protein fibres in fish skin lie crossed over each other instead of parallel.
-
No, it doesn’t smell of fish at all. During the gentle tanning process all natural fat and protein is removed completely. What remains is a perfectly clean, odourless and strong leather that smells of classic quality craftsmanship.
-
Sustainable alternative: By choosing fish skin you support a use of raw materials that does not require extra agricultural land, feed or enormous amounts of water – the material is already there.
-
Beautiful surface structure: The tanning preserves the fine “pockets” and patterns from the scales, which gives the leather an incredibly beautiful, three-dimensional depth and a feel that has to be experienced with the hands.
