Love it

I bought the executive leather messenger bag in the dark brown for work and for work-travel. It literally was the only bag that had all the features I wanted (single clasp for easy access, luggage pass-through, tech compatible, etc.) The bag is beautiful. I couldn't be happier.

Perfect Bag for the Office

This bag is perfect. I opted for the large, and it carries my MacBook Pro 14”, as well as my work laptop a Latitude 7400. Fits under the seat while flying, and carries all the essentials. Really happy with this bag.

Timeless Quality

They say you get what you pay for, and this bag is a perfect example. It's clear right away that quality materials were used. The leather is incredibly soft and supple - a joy to hold! I'm curious to see how the rich color develops character over time. This purchase reflects a shift I made years ago: investing in well-made pieces that can last a lifetime. This bag feels like it will be a treasured companion for years to come.

Good Bag

Would like to see the ability to remove the over the body strap when you need to board a plane or store in the overhead bin

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER BAG

We usually recommend not doing anything to the full-grain leather of your bag, letting it develop it's own beautiful patina over time. However, you may want to freshen it up a bit with a leather conditioner. The leather may darken a bit, so test the reaction first on a spot that's not highly visible, like the bottom of the bag. For the distressed leather that we use, you can also spread the oils around and smooth them out a bit with heat from a hair dryer.
