Overview
A slim leather messenger bag in full-grain Colombian cowhide, sized 15 x 11 x 3 inches and built to carry a laptop up to 15.6 inches under a magnetic-closure flap. A tear-resistant lining and a 60 inch adjustable strap round out the build.
Full-grain leather means the surface is left largely untreated, so the bag shows natural grain variation and develops a patina rather than staying uniform, which is worth knowing before expecting a showroom-flat finish. The slim profile trades bulk storage for a commuter-friendly shape that sits close to the body.
- Overall size 15 x 11 x 3 inches
- Tear-resistant interior lining
- Top leather grab handle
- Product weight 2.2 pounds
Who it's for
Commuters and business travelers who want a slim, genuinely leather bag for a laptop and daily paperwork are the right buyer. Anyone hauling gear beyond a laptop and files will find the single main compartment limiting.
Pros and cons
- Fits laptops and tablets up to 15.6 inches
- Full-grain leather ages with use
- Padded strap extends to 60 inches
- Magnetic closure, not a zipper, on the main flap
- Leather grain and color vary bag to bag
Performance notes
The bag's single main compartment closes with dual magnetic closures under the leather flap, which is quicker to open than a buckle but offers less security than a zipper. A full-length interior zip pocket and a rear exterior pocket add organization without adding bulk, and the padded 60 inch strap is long enough to wear across the body.
