Another Great Product from SF Bags

I ordered a Executive Leather Messenger Bag from the other side of the world. Firstly it was delivered within days and as always the bag was exactly as described and the leather is fantastic. Well done Gary & the SF Team

GREAT MESSENGER BAG FOR LAPTOP & IPAD

This guy makes quality bags. I've been buying from him since he started. His iPad bag I took to Europe last year and it saved my life. This messenger bag topped that. Great construction. Perfect for my iPad and Razor 15" laptop. With room for papers I shouldn't be carrying. hahaha I got the grizzly leather and it's cool. Light in color but I'm waiting for this "patina" Gary talks about in his video. That was the only hangup deciding the leather color. The choco leather looked too choco for me. Tired of black. So far I'm happy with Grizzly Adams Brown. I wish someone posted a pic when I was buying so I'll post one. It's camel brown which I can see getting dirty but I'm hoping the patina effect kicks in. hahaha If not then I'm cleaning the bag a lot. Super good internal construction. He's been putting that gold lining for decades. It's really brilliant. The bag looks cool without looking like a computer geek. I wasn't crazy about the mix leather / canvas material on the lower bags. So it's get what you pay for thing - this is worth 4 bills. Bags are keepers for lifetimes.

Amazing Bag

Came just as described and is even more beautiful and well-built in person. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again.

Amazing quality

Love this bag so much! It fits exactly what it was described to fit. Quality is amazing! Hope to use it for years to come!

Such a great bag

I had been looking for a nicer bag to take to work everyday and stumbled across Waterfield on a Flossy Carter Youtube video. The bag looked great and was not as expensive as I would have imagined. Once it arrived, the look and the feel of the bag was well worth the cost. The attention to detail, the lining in the laptop and tablet pockets is amazing. I get lots of compliments and I really couldn't be happier with the bag.

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.

All our products are designed and made in our San Francisco workshop, where rent is high, labor expensive, and competition intense. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.
