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.

Bueatifully designed bag

This is a really well designed bag for travel - how it will sit on the flight, but also the pockets, sleeves etc. It also seems really well made. I was hesitant about ordering the air caddy, but now feel it will help solve problems on the flight that I didnt know I had. Looking forward to trying it out on next week on a trip to Asia. However, the color on the canvas seems more khaki/dark green then the tan on the website. Fixing the website will avoid surprises. I would probably have still ordered the bag, but at this price there should be no surprises.

Overall the build quality, style, and materials are all superb. I was surprised, however, that the bag does not open flat. The computer compartment does, because the zipper extends further around, but the larger compartment is sort of awkward to fill because it doesn't open flat in the same way. You obviously took great care in design, so I'm wondering why this is the case.

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.
