A SMALL BUT MIGHTY CROSSBODY DESIGNED TO SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE AND KEEP YOU ORGANIZED IN STYLE

Designed for the woman who is always on the go, the Gadabout is the perfect balance of rugged durability and everyday elegance. Handcrafted in the Col. Littleton Workshop of the finest materials available – rugged Tobacco Brown American Buffalo leather with Vintage Brown American Steerhide trim, and a luxurious American Calfskin Leather-lined interior – it’s a piece of true craftsmanship designed not for a single season but to be a part of your daily journey for many years to come.

Construction and Extras

Every detail serves a purpose. The front turnkey latch keeps your essentials secure, while the back pocket is perfectly sized for your cell phone. Inside, you’ll find two dedicated pockets for your wallet and small items, a credit card slot, lip balm holder (Col. Littleton Lip Balm included) and a “fish hook” key ring so you’ll never be fumbling for your keys. A nickel-finished snap hook and two-position D-rings outfit the bag for right or left shoulder carry.

Side gussets expand, so it holds a lot for a small bag. The adjustable cotton khaki surcingle strap allows for a comfortable, customizable fit, making the Gadabout a true-go anywhere companion. Unlike mass-produced handbags, each Gadabout is made by skilled artisans in our workshop. All areas of the bag are meticulously edge stitched and edge coated, which are hallmarks of quality construction. The premium leathers develop a rich patina over time, telling your story with every adventure and making your bag uniquely yours.

Ideal for travel, errands, or anytime you want your essentials close at hand.

Whether you’re walking into a boardroom, strolling down a cobblestone street on a weekend getaway, or just gadding about, you deserve to feel confident, polished, and perfectly put together. That’s where the Gadabout shines. It isn’t simply a crossbody bag. Its timeless style, casual elegance and superior craftsmanship make it the kind of bag you’ll reach for on many occasions – ideal for travel, errands or anytime you want your essentials close at hand. Small in size, yet perfectly proportioned, it’s designed for the woman who appreciates the beauty of simplicity and the quiet assurance of carrying something truly special.

May be personalized under the front flap with three block-style initials. Comes in a cotton canvas drawstring bag with the Col. Littleton logo.

When it comes to American Buffalo, Colonel says, “Expect a leather that is unapologetically rugged with more character, nicks, scrapes and variations in color.” Learn more about our American Buffalo Leather.

Unbelievable quality! I bought bags from Col. Littleton for my husband but would like to own a piece for myself for everyday use, this bag size is perfect, I have received a lot of compliments already on my first day using it. The leather is buttery soft inside and yet structured outside. I attached the triangle pouch on the strap for my coins. I’ve never seen a sling bag look this elegant and functional.

Our Warranty

We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain “wore it out,” you got your money’s worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we’ll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.

Our Leather

Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That’s not what we’re about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special “feel” of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It’s all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you’re buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steerhide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don’t apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.

Our Craftsmanship

I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There’s a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.
