Exactly what I was looking for!

This bag was a gift for my husband. He's been using a tattered old messenger bag for years to go from home to work and the gym. The Vitesse is a perfect bag to replace it. There are plenty of pockets of different sizes, the construction is *impeccable*, and the waxed cotton and leather combo looks classic. I added the cycling strap and leather shoulder piece--definitely recommend!

Perfectly sized upgrade from the smaller one

Upgrading from the smaller Vitesse messenger bag and it’s perfect. I love the craftsmanship which is as expected from Waterfield Designs and I’d definitely recommend this bag along with its smaller sibling.

Great stuff

Looking forward to new models, maybe a belt camera bag like Head Porter the Japanese brand.

Better than expected

I liked the look and specs before buying, but expected some things to perhaps leave room for improvement in practice. Not the case with the Vitesse.

Over the last few weeks, it's been in proper rain and performed wonderfully, not just keeping water out, but also letting it drip down from the surface, which dried really quickly. I'm not in the habit of carelessly throwing my bags around, especially with valuable equipment inside, so I find the unprotected computer compartment that some people whinged about absolutely not a problem. What I like in daily use, which includes work, are: the light overall weight, the stiffness of the canvas that keeps the bag upright even without much inside, the elevated inside pockets that allow loose stuff to sit at the bottom of the main compartment without bulking it up, the reliably quick flap closure action due to room for finger support under studs, the lowered-down and skewed strap attachment to the bag for a body-hugging fit when carried and the truly convenient dual-entry front pocket. Every one of these features has proven its worth.
It is a simple and unassuming bag, but so much about it is perfect that it must be my best bag ever. The "ever" bit meaning several decades of carrying bags ;- )

Good quality

Good materials, quite spacious,just what i need for my everyday use. love this bag

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag.
