Does what it is supposed to do

I am retired and live on the Coast of Maine. I use my Vitesse for on-foot trips to town to pick up groceries and, sometimes, books. It is comfortable and, so far, has absorbed avery item I have asked it to take. I can ask no more.

It is also good-looking.

Fantastic Bag!

This is a great bag and I am very pleased with my purchase. The quality of the canvas and leather are excellent and the size is perfect for carrying a 15” laptop in a sleeve. I would recommend doing the optional service to add d-rings to the bag so you can use your own strap, as the one that’s included is a little on the thin side and doesn’t include a shoulder pad. Overall this a really excellent product for the price, and the customer service I received from the company was top notch!

Is this waterproof?

It’s not waterproof, but it is water-resistant.

What is the Vitesse Collection?

Although vitesse is French for "speed", the only speedy thing about the Vitesse Collection is how fast it can help you transition from casual to work and vice versa. The straightforward, un-complicated designs use lightweight canvas and full-grain leather to create contemporary pieces from old favorites. This collection is committed to the essentials, and have an easy, relaxed style: few pockets, no lining, no extra hardware. Fold and take them along as second travel bags, or use as your primary carry-all.
