excellent quality and design

The distressed leather design of this backpack will give it a unique appearance within a month. The comfortable leather handle and bright interior lining provide an excellent user experience, and I believe it features a well-designed and high-quality construction. The only drawback is that I found some loose threads around the pockets.
(Using google translate,I hope it works.)

So happy to have made the shift

I made the shift from my old school leather brief to the Agile and I’m so happy I did. It is light, and has perfectly placed pockets and storage, right where I need them for my work and commute. I love the design. Mine has the chocolate leather and ballistic nylon combo. It gets a lot of looks.
And I love it! Thank you Gary and team!

The Perfect Travel Companion

I've had the Agile Brief for a week, and I've loved it so far! I've been hunting for a proper bag for the past few months. I've been traveling more for my job and for pleasure, and I needed something that was durable but stylish. I also go to graduate school part-time, so I needed something that was versatile and could hold plenty of objects. My bag came on a Thursday, and I travelled cross-country the next Monday. I paired it with an Air Caddy, and I found the combination perfect for my travel needs. The bag is light yet holds plenty of items. It's sturdy yet flexible. I recommend this bag to anyone who's looking for the perfect travel or work bag.

First Timer!

I ordered an Agile Brief, the MOST expensive product like this that I’ve ever ordered. And I love it! It has a look and feel of genuine quality, worthy of the price. I wish I had ordered the canvass version though, as it’s more my lifestyle. But the ballistic with brown leather is indeed a classy classic. Plenty of compartments for everything I need, and room for a little more. Don’t be afraid to spend the money if you can. Awesome product!

Excellent quality and service

This is my second WaterField bag—my previous Staad Attaché was still in excellent shape after over 6 years of daily use. Just was looking for a slightly larger brief. The agile is beautiful and light. Staff from WaterField respond quickly and always offer ideas and suggestions (or a joke). I recommend this brand to everyone I know and was asked about my prior bag often. I’m sure the agile will be the same!

THE CLASSIC BRIEFCASE GETS A NEW LOOK

The compact Agile Commuter Briefcase is designed with today's new work routine in mind. Whether going to the office or working remotely, you'll appreciate the small details that make your commute more comfortable and convenient. 

 

The Supreme Suspension Strap helps lighten your load, and has a special grippy material on the shoulder pad so it doesn't slip off or wrinkle your shirt. Prefer to hold your brief by hand? The handles are wrapped in full-grain leather so they'll get softer over time and won't dig into your fingers. 

 

The zipped flap pocket holds frequently accessed items like keys, employee badge, phone, earbuds, wallet, etc. for quick retrieval. The short flap is secured with a double, magnetic fidlock buckle so important documents stay secure. 

 

SMALL DETAIL. BIG DIFFERENCE. 
 

The Agile Commuter Briefcase is surrounded with a light foam shell that adds structure and functions as an extra protective layer. This comes in handy when you have to set your bag down at your feet. 
 

THE SELF-FINDING MAGNETIC CLIPS

 

You won't realize how life-changing this can be until you experience it first-hand — buckles that seem to magically connect to each other. Now you can secure your bag without having to struggle with the buckles. 

 

Open by sliding the clips in opposite directions. Close by pairing the the male and female components and they will magnetically find each there. 

 

 

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

If you have the waxed canvas version of the Agile Brief, you can keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Agile Commuter Briefcase, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
