Cross bag

Our quality craftsmanship and attention to detail extends into our range of leather and canvas bags. Each piece carries the same undeniable high-quality seal of approval that has been the cornerstone of R.M.Williams since 1932.

R.M.Williams began in 1932, established for people wanting more from their footwear than a season's worth of comfort. Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams noticed stockmen in the Flinders Ranges struggling with damaged boots and weary feet, and he learned a simple truth: quality beats embellishment every time. He created boots that were fiercely durable, remarkably comfortable and designed to endure, and we still build every pair in Australia with the same principles, holding to the same standards that shaped our beginnings. Longevity is our benchmark, born of purposeful craft, local manufacturing, and ties to land and community. We don't take shortcuts, and durability is central to our methods. Our men's leather boots were designed for decades of wear, embedding circularity before this concept had a contemporary name. Our Crafting a Better Future framework continues to inform Australian craftsmanship today, focusing on items made to last and be repaired instead of replaced. You put money into a product built to last year after year, and those standards have allowed our boots to effortlessly move from the Australian outback to urban streets worldwide, including the United Kingdom. Whether you're looking up 'cross bag' or 'across the body bags', we recognise the universal appeal of quality craftsmanship.

More than 80 processes go into making every boot, each one completed with intent in our Adelaide workshop. Our team picks premium hides for cutting in the clicking room, then shapes them on the blocking machine to build the foundation for fit and comfort. Construction from a single leather piece helps minimise weak points and maximise strength. With wear, the leather conforms to your foot over time, offering a flexible, personal fit. We also use a Goodyear welt in our construction, allowing the boots to be resoled and repaired multiple times, picking up character rather than wearing out. Each pair of women's and men's boots is made to handle work, travel and whatever else lands on your schedule, with a choice of soles that fit every look, lifestyle and terrain. We offer plenty of sole options for maximum personalisation from polished leather to treaded rubber. This commitment to quality craftsmanship produces men's and women's boots that are made for the long haul. Here, you can trust that when you're looking into 'cross bag', 'brown cross over bag' or 'brown crossbody bag', the same attention to detail applies. Even if you're browsing for wardrobe staples, such as sweatshirts and knitwear, or premium accessories like wallets, belts and bags, we've got you covered.
