I travel quite a bit for TV appearances and work and I’ve used quite a few “luxury“ brand briefcases and bags which have always lacked somewhat in functionality or durability. Waterfield is my new go to brand because the functionality and long term durability is the best I’ve used; it genuinely makes traveling more enjoyable in the way the handle is angled when carrying, etc. The name recognition is expanding as well as recently during a dinner meeting someone recognized the WF logo.
I searched for a month to find the perfect business casual messenger bag. The vast majority just did not look right or were either too big or small. This bag checked every box. It has very simple styling with clean lines, a well thought out interior, a buckle that looks sharp and is fun to use, and high quality top grain leather that gives it a masculine style. This bag garners respect that cannot be had from other ways to carry ones everyday items. On top of all this, the customer service from the owner and everyone I emailed was as if I was a family member. I cannot say enough about how much I enjoy using this bag and look forward to doing business in the future with this great company.
The perfect companion for someone who spends one or two days in the office, and the rest in the field. Holds just enough to keep you efficient. The construction is impeccable. Hope to use this for decades to come.
I'm returning it.
Had been eying it for a while and worth every penny - Incredibly well built and looking forward to seeing it age - very confident I’ll be using it for a while. Also, GREAT service thnx

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.
