L 21.5 cm × H 11 cm × D 1.5 cm.
Takes a passport, a phone, cards, keys and folded notes, and still zips closed.
Handmade, so allow a small variance.
Full-grain Namibian leather from free-range hides, coloured with soluble dyes. Cedar and Maple are smooth aniline; Mountain is a velvety nubuck.
Unlined, on purpose: nothing sits between you and the leather, so it stays light, supple and soft inside and out.
Hardware: YKK zip.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and shake it out now and then. As it is unlined, keep pens and anything that could leak out of it.
If it gets wet, let it dry naturally, away from direct heat. Mountain is nubuck: brush it lightly rather than using creams.

Customer reviews
“The smell, the touch, the quality, the everything about it was worth every penny!!!”
“The product is of very good quality, it is even better than what I was expecting… The customer service is also impeccable - probably the best I ever had!”
“Have owned much more expensive ‘Designer’ bags, but I think my Rowdy is the best bag I’ve ever had.”
New to Rowdy?
Every Rowdy bag starts with the same full-grain Namibian hides. The Travel Pouch puts that leather in your hand for £49: feel it, carry it and watch it age, before you ever choose a bag.
Size
Yes, with room to spare. A UK passport is 12.5 × 8.8 cm; the pouch is 21.5 × 11 cm.
Most phones fit, up to about 17 cm long. It sits alongside your passport and a few cards.
It's slim, 1.5 cm deep, so it holds the essentials flat: passport, phone, cards, keys and folded notes.
Yes, a printed A4 boarding pass folded into three.
In a coat pocket, a Tote or a Crossbody. Small things stay together instead of sinking to the bottom of a bag.
FAQ
To keep it light, slim and supple. With no lining, nothing sits between you and the leather, so you feel the full grain inside and out, and it softens with you from day one. It is also a good way to find out what Rowdy leather is really like before you choose a bag.
Yes. At 21.5 × 11 cm it takes a UK passport, most phones, cards, keys and folded notes, and still zips closed. At 1.5 cm deep it stays slim enough for a coat pocket.
Yes. It is our smallest piece, cut from the same full-grain leather as our bags and repaired for life like them. UK delivery is free.
Slightly, yes. Every hide takes our soluble dyes a little differently, so the shade can vary a touch from one hide to the next and from one run to the next. It makes no difference to how the leather performs, feels or wears: it is the same full-grain leather, made to last and repaired for life. It is part of what makes each pouch your own.
Very little is needed. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and shake it out now and then. As it is unlined, keep pens and anything that could leak out of it. If it gets wet, blot it and let it dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sun. Avoid wipes, household cleaners and kitchen oils. Mountain is nubuck, so give it a light brush instead of creams.
It depends on the shade, and we show which applies next to the button. In-stock pieces are dispatched from Bath within 3 to 5 working days. Made-to-order pieces are made for you in our Cape Town workshop and dispatched within 15 to 20 working days. UK delivery is free either way.
Call us on 01225 683 729 within 14 days of receiving your order. Bags must be unworn, with all tags attached, in their original dust bag and packaging. Exchanges for another shade are free: we send you a prepaid label. For a refund, return postage is paid by you.
Faults in how your pouch was made are repaired for life. We arrange and pay for the repair with Tanis Brain, a qualified saddler at TPJB Leather in the UK, and post it back free; you cover the postage to us. Most repairs take up to two weeks. See what's covered.
