What Bags Are Made in the USA?
When it comes to finding a dependable bag that blends style, durability, and functionality, WaterField Designs sets the benchmark. Based in San Francisco, these bags are proudly made in the USA, reflecting a commitment to excellence, local production, and customer care. Whether you're a professional needing a refined briefcase or a tech enthusiast searching for perfectly fitted gear cases, WaterField combines thoughtful details and premium materials to create long-lasting products.
The San Francisco Original
Where Craftsmanship Meets Community
WaterField Designs was born and continues to thrive in the heart of San Francisco. Established in 1998 to create innovative, functional designs while keeping manufacturing close to home. This commitment to local production allows us to oversee every step of the process, ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality. By keeping operations in San Francisco, we also support local jobs and reduce our environmental impact, setting ourselves apart from mass-producing competitors.
Personalized Production Process
Small Batches, Big Impact
Forget assembly lines and mass production. At WaterField Designs, bags are crafted in small batches, allowing our team to focus on every detail. This personalized approach not only reduces waste but also ensures that each product meets our meticulous quality standards. The unparalleled quality of our bags is quickly apparent, as a direct result of this small-scale, hands-on process.
By prioritizing small-batch manufacturing, WaterField can turn customer feedback into action rapidly, making adjustments to designs and materials as needed to meet the evolving needs of our community and customer base.
Top-Grade Materials
Built to Outlast Your Tech
Every WaterField bag begins with exceptional materials, carefully selected for durability and performance. We use some of the toughest fabric and leather on the market, including:
- Ballistic Nylon: This rugged, abrasion-resistant material is the same type used in bulletproof vests. It’s water-resistant, colorfast under sunlight, and stays looking fresh even after years of use.
- Waxed Canvas: Crafted from heavy-duty, 15-ounce canvas, it’s coated in chemical-free wax for water resistance and develops a beautiful patina over time.
- Full-Grain Leather: Known as the toughest part of the hide, WaterField’s full-grain leather ages beautifully, each scratch adding character while maintaining strength.
- X-Pac®: The most modern material in our collection, X-Pac® is engineered for exceptional strength, waterproofing, and lightweight performance. With its high-tech construction, it delivers unmatched durability while keeping your gear protected and easy to carry.
The choice of materials isn’t just about longevity; it’s about ensuring that each product feels as good as it looks. Many customers report that their WaterField bags have outlasted the tech they were purchased for.
Simple and Focused Design
Form Meets Function
WaterField bags embody a clean, clutter-free design philosophy. Rather than focusing on trends, our products prioritize functionality and ease of use. For instance, many bags feature padded compartments for laptops and tablets, as well as easy-access pockets for essentials like smartphones or wallets. These design details ensure that WaterField bags are as useful as they are stylish, fitting seamlessly into both professional and casual settings.
This straightforward approach to design doesn’t just prioritize utility; it also creates lightweight products that are easy and comfortable to carry, wherever life takes you.
Stylish and Functional for the Digital World
Designed for Modern Lifestyles
From tech organizers to professional briefcases, WaterField’s bags are designed with today’s digital needs in mind. Whether you’re commuting or heading into a client meeting, you’ll find thoughtful details like dual laptop and tablet compartments, charging cable slots, and secure zipper enclosures. Need quick access to your smartphone or keys? Their intuitive pocket placements mean you’ll never waste a moment searching through a bag.
A Community-Centric Approach
Products Designed by and for Customers
WaterField’s commitment to its customers doesn’t end with the sale. Our brand actively engages its community in the design process. Through the Community-Sourced Design program, customers provide feedback on prototype sketches and features, ensuring that products meet real-life needs. For example, the Compact Executive Backpack and the AirPods Max Shield Case are direct results of this collaborative approach.
The WaterField team takes pride in listening to customers, and it shows. Reviews frequently highlight the exceptional service, attention to detail, and willingness to incorporate customer recommendations into future designs.
Why WaterField Stands Out
WaterField Designs isn’t just another bag company. Our unwavering dedication to American craftsmanship, use of premium materials, and customer-focused design process sets us apart. Here are just a few reasons why loyal customers continue to choose WaterField over competitors:
- Made in the USA: Directly support local jobs and the American economy with every purchase.
- Long-Lasting Quality: Materials like ballistic nylon and full-grain leather ensure durability that keeps up with your lifestyle.
- Sustainability Through Craftsmanship: Thoughtfully crafted, WaterField bags are built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
