Travel

The Compact Executive Leather Messenger is a great briefcase, I originally purchased the full size for my business trips, however after comparing the height of the full size Executive Leather Messenger to my AIR PORTER CARRY-ON BAG, I realized that the full size Executive Leather Messenger would not fit under the airplane seat. So I promptly purchased the Compact Executive Leather Messenger and returned the full size Messenger. The return was seamless and easy. I’ve really enjoyed using the Compact Messenger as it is a great briefcase.

This bag has it all!

Bought this briefcase for my husband in dark brown and it checked everything off on my list. Large enough to hold other items, single easy open clasp, many pockets inside, luggage pass through, etc! Such high quality leather. I’ve spent months researching for the best briefcase and so glad a stumbled upon this.

Love it

I bought the executive leather messenger bag in the dark brown for work and for work-travel. It literally was the only bag that had all the features I wanted (single clasp for easy access, luggage pass-through, tech compatible, etc.) The bag is beautiful. I couldn't be happier.

Perfect Bag for the Office

This bag is perfect. I opted for the large, and it carries my MacBook Pro 14”, as well as my work laptop a Latitude 7400. Fits under the seat while flying, and carries all the essentials. Really happy with this bag.

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.
