Fantastic for two decades

I've been using WaterField Designs' products soon for two decades and yet every time I order something new, their design features surprise me a little on how well thought out they are.
This bag is fantastic for city breaks and summer time when your pockets don't scale to carry everything, like sunglasses.

Excellent bag with premium leather but clumsy buckle

This is a thoughtfully designed bag. I initially thought it might be too small, but it turned out to be exactly the right size for everyday use. It stands upright on a flat surface, thanks to the thick, high-quality leather, which is undoubtedly the standout feature. The leather has a substantial feel and gives the bag an excellent sense of structure and durability.
There are, however, a couple of design details that I think could be improved. The front flap functions well, but because it only partially covers the front pocket, it feels more decorative than purposeful. Extending the flap across the full width of the bag to completely cover the pocket would create a more balanced and refined appearance.
My other criticism is the buckle closure. While it opens easily, it can be awkward to fasten quickly because the upper and lower sections must be carefully realigned. A magnetic closure similar to the one used on the Shinjuku Messenger—or even the magnetic latch found on the Hudson Crossbody—would make the bag much quicker and more convenient to use without sacrificing its appearance.
Overall, this is an excellent bag with premium materials, outstanding craftsmanship, and an ideal size. With a few small design refinements, it would be even better.

Nice bag, but I wish it had the Fidlock instead of the Paragliding buckle. Also, the back sleeveless section fits an iPad mini.

It’s my bag, made for me!

My Gramercy Leather Sling is stunning, the design is beautiful and innovative, the care of the details is noticeably high. I was searching for an EDC sling practical but elegant, with enough space, well mare and organized, and with specific aesthetics: it seems like Waterfield somehow had read my mind! Granercy js the little sister to my Hudson! Thanks a lot for your talent and your efforts!

Refined, Functional, and Timeless

I typically use an Aer sling for everyday carry, but I wanted something that felt more refined for conferences, networking events, and professional settings. The Gramercy is perfect for that role. It comfortably carries my phone, sunglasses, keys, and wallet, and I can even fit my Sony RX100 Mark I when I want to bring a camera.

As always, WaterField's craftsmanship is exceptional. The leather, hardware, and overall construction are top-notch, and the design is timeless. It's a bag that looks just as appropriate in a business setting as it does for everyday use. I'm looking forward to many years of carrying it.

Design details

HERITAGE MEETS INNOVATION

 

The Gramercy Leather Sling blends heritage craftsmanship with modern convenience in a distinctly elevated design. Its signature paragliding buckle adds a bold, technical edge, while the Ultrasuede™-lined pockets cradle your tech essentials in plush, luxurious protection.

USER-CENTRIC DESIGN


Designed for versatility, the Gramercy Leather Sling adapts effortlessly to the way you move. Its sturdy 1.5" adjustable, detachable strap lets you wear it across the chest, over the shoulder, or on your back with all-day comfort. Remove the strap entirely, and the sling transforms into a sleek gear pouch that slips seamlessly into a larger bag.

FULL-GRAIN LEATHER

 

The authentic, full-grain leather we use to make the Gramercy Sling 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.  

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.

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER BAG

We usually recommend not doing anything to the full-grain leather of your Gramercy Sling, letting it develop its own beautiful patina. However, you may want to freshen it up a bit with a leather conditioner. Gary shows you how in this video for the Cozmo Leather Briefcase

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 we use, you can spread the oils around and smooth them out with heat from a hair dryer.
