It's perfect!

Great product

Super happy with this high quality bag!! Would definitely recommend!

I had such a hard time trying to decide, because lets face it, this bag isnt cheap. Im so glad I pulled the trigger and ordered though. The bag looks great, the quality is amazing, and the interior organization makes sense and feels natural.

There are so many messenger bags to choose from out there, but as the video says, this one is approachable, not formal. It stands out immediately for its quality, not for being flashy, and it will continue to look better with age.

Once I received it and really got to look it over and wear it to work a couple times, I liken it to my Rolex Submariner. Wether you’re carrying it with jeans on the weekend or a suit in the boardroom, it fits in perfectly. Like the Sub, it’s understated luxury that gets noticed without being pretentious.

Very Nice

Very Nice

Such good quality.

Waterfield Designs Executive Leather Messenger review: Professional practicality

iMore - September 8, 2019

“When you want to make a statement with your laptop bag, look no further.”

Design details

ALL-LEATHER COLLECTION

The All-Leather Collection brings together premium full-grain leather designs that balance refined style, everyday functionality, and rugged dependability. Each bag is built to last, with smart details that make everyday carry easier. Check out the full collection.

FULL-GRAIN LEATHER

The authentic, full-grain leather we use to make the Executive Leather Messenger is absolutely beautiful. See it, touch it, and you'll be hooked.

The distressed leather develops a beautiful patina, and your bag will age well as the years roll by.

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.
