Finally, the bag I've been looking for!

After accumulating a dozen bags over more years, I finally found what I was looking for. I put off the purchase because of the price, but it is worth it. The attention to detail is amazing. It does fit perfectly under the airline seat and stays standing so it doesn’t fall over on your feet. The magnet closure on the quick access flap makes it much more secure when getting something on the move. There are plenty of holders and pockets for organizing what I carry. The leather on the bottom is great for protection when setting down. It is strong but relatively light.

Amazing Bag!

I bought this bag as a carry-on for my partner, who has a visual impairment and needed a light-colored bag with a bright-colored interior. This bag was perfect. Lightweight, durable, many pockets and compartments, great-looking! Couldn't be happier with it and neither could he. Thanks!

Quality bag

Money well spent. It is has meet expectations thus far. I enjoyed a premium bag from a competitor for almost two decades. When that bag eventually whore out I was prepared to give them my money again. I decided to try the airporter instead and no regrets. Can't comment on the longevity but the well thoughtout design is proving to be a superior user experience.

True craftsmanship using high quality materials and design

I needed a bag that I could use to carry my computer and some documents on airplanes which I normally would just slip into my roller cabin bag. It was difficult to access my laptop and documents. In my search for a high quality bag for the laptop and documents I came across this and I think it’s a top of the line product. I have suitcases and backpacks from the well known luxury retailers in the US and Germany, but Waterfield designs easily stands up to those.
I am very please with this new bag. The quality, craftsmanship and design are first rate and it’s as was advertised.

Fantastic piece of kit!!

I've spent most of my life both piloting aircraft or sitting as a passenger.
I've travelled all over this globe, and to the furthest remote locations as well as city centers. This bag works well for all of these locales!
I've tried so many different smaller bags to accompany my carry on roller, and this hands down, is the best yet! It's well thought out as far as ergonomics and useful space, is well manufactured with extreme care, and detail. Also, it looks cool AF! Let's face it, who likes a goofy looking bag right?

Waterfield absolutely nailed it with the Air Porter.

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. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Air Porter Carry-On Bag, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
