Highly recommended, wonderful bag

Love my new executive leather messenger in the grizzly leather. Excellent ordering expeerience with great correspondence while my bag was being made. Exceeded my expectations and perfect messenger bag for me to carry my laptop and belonging to and from the office and the hospital when rounding and seeing patients. Highly recommended and will consider future purchases as gifts.

Item is solid

Been teaching at an art college is this bag is way better than what I had before. Easy to carry and light and durable

I love it every day

Perfect for bringing the laptop to work, meetings, and I enjoyed every time I opened it up and put my hands in it. Get one.

I've discovered WaterField Designs some 5 years ago, while searching for a messenger bag for my MacBook. Since then I have purchased three excellent and really outstanding bags (too bad one of them was stolen). I can confidently say that their products are top-notch in terms of both quality and style. As Gary said to me (yep, I was lucky to meet him in person in his workshop in SF), I am probably the biggest fan of WaterField Designs in Bulgaria :)

First Rate Service, First Rate Product

Gary and his team are easy to reach, helpful, and incredibly responsive. The bag is as advertised in the video and photos—well designed and made with top of the line materials. I decided to exchange the full sized executive messenger bag I ordered for the compact model. The return process couldn’t have been easier. Highly recommended.

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.
