ACAB Laurel Wreath Cross Body Bag, 2.5 Litres

Laurel branches around four blackletter characters

The laurel wreath is a familiar sign on the terraces and in casual fashion. On this bag two laurel branches enclose four characters in broken type from left and right: A, C, A, B. The wreath is open at the top, and the design is centred on the forward compartment.

How the print reads

On the darker finishes, black and navy, the laurel wreath motif is printed white and stands out sharply. With light grey it is black and therefore comes across rather more quietly.

Travelling light

For an away trip, a drink after the match or shopping in the town centre: a shoulder bag of this size is thrown on quickly and keeps the hands free. The strap length can be altered, depending on whether it should sit high on the chest or lower at the hip.

Small build, clear division

The weave is a 600D polyester, the shape a flat upright of 16 by 23 by 7 centimetres. No more than about 2.5 litres will go in, which makes it a companion for a phone, papers and keys rather than a substitute rucksack. The printed zipped pocket is at the front and the larger main compartment behind it, so what is needed often stays separate from what may lie at the bottom. Anyone preferring something round the waist will find several bum bags with related designs in the shop.
