Empress

empress (em·press) — for Empress Place, named for Queen Victoria. The building still stands by the river.

$78.00

One build. Five colours. No exceptions.

For the walk that doesn't need a bag.

Empress is the crossbody bundle. Named for the building across the river that's worn a few names over the centuries and settled on this one for the last hundred years.

It wears like a bag and works like a leash — sling it over one shoulder, and the modular hook does the rest: keys, a card, a small pouch, all within reach, none of it in your hands.

When you need control, it's a leash. When you don't, it's just how you've decided to carry the day.

Modular hook for keys, cards, a small pouch
Colour-matched throughout in black
Side-release buckle — easy on, easy off
Wipes clean — does not absorb water, grime, or odour
Bundle includes collar and crossbody leash

Size

Empress is a complete bundle — collar and crossbody leash included.

The modular hook isn't a novelty — it's a considered answer to a real problem: dog walks require you to carry things, and most leashes offer no help with that. Keys, a card, a small pouch — clipped on, within reach, out of the way.

Empress reads as one object whether it's on your shoulder or in your hand. The switch from carry to control happens without thinking — same webbing, same width, whether it's sitting as a strap or working as a leash.

Tap. Wipe. Done. Empress doesn't hold onto mud, moisture, or odour — it dries fast and goes straight back over your shoulder. The upkeep is short because the material was built that way, not because corners got cut.
