Great bag

Minor concern

Quality bag, but the grizzly color came to me much darker than the one in the website photos and videos, even allowing for natural variation in the leather.

Executive Leather Messenger

Exactly what I hoped it would be.

Classy looking with a slim profile, but with plenty of room for my MacBook and accessories. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and exactly what I needed as an executive

I’ve been looking forever for ‘the right’ product. This is a perfect blend of material, and style that serves like a briefcase but is stylish like a modern messenger. Travels so easily as well as I’m on a flight every week. Only thing it’s missing is a small area to quickly tuck items into (keys, AirPods, etc). I love it and so worth the money!!

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.
