Bear Crossbody Phone Bag $175 plus s/h | ||||||||
Paula says - "I searched high and low for a simple crossbody pouch for my Samsung Galaxy S25 phone - one that would allow me to easily slip the phone in and out and also zip the top closed for security. I finally found the perfect bag made of PU leather. The PU stands for polyurethane. This material is soft but thick and durable. The lining is slick polyester with a divider so you can add keys or cards to the other compartment. Once I started using the bag, I dressed it up with a pin, a horsehair tassel, some pendants and rings up and down the shoulder strap. In our recent trip to Texas, I got lots of comments and even a couple of offers to buy my bag! So once I got home, I made a few more using some new and vintage sterling silver Native-American-made eye candy. I hope you find one you like! Larger phones will fit in this bag - see the dimensions. And you can customize the bag by substituting or adding your favorite jewelry."
In the photo above is my Samsung S25 which is 3" x 6"; larger phones will slip in and out easily.

About Silver100% solid silver won't tarnish but it is too soft to use for making jewelry - it could easily be scratched, dented and bent. Sterling silver has a small amount of one or more other metals usually copper, added to the silver. To be called sterling silver, the alloy must contain at least 92.5% pure silver. Sterling silver alloy is harder than pure silver but the added metals also can cause discoloration or tarnish. |
ABOUT THE MEDICINE WHEELThe Medicine Wheel is an integral part of American Indian Spirituality. It is based on the four cardinal directions and the four sacred colors. The circle represents life and the four colors, like the seasons, are the changes we make on our journey. At the center of the circle is the eternal fire from which everything originates and everything returns. Read more about Four Colors Medicine Wheel. |
