Slings

We've been committed to making products in the USA since our start in 1998. Back then, off-shore manufacturing was the prevailing trend, and many sewing shops in San Francisco were shuttered.

We wanted hands-on experience with the products we were making — from the idea phase to final production. We wanted to ensure things were done right, make changes on the fly, and iterate on the design as needed.

Our small-batch production fits the types of products we offer — well-designed, custom-fit items you buy for life. You may have to wait a while for us to make it for you, but you know it will be well-made.

With WaterField American-made gear, you get high quality, long-lasting products. All our designs are original, incorporating details you'll appreciate with each use.

We use only premium, full-grain leather for our bags and accents. It comes from the toughest part of the hide with the tightest grain so it's extremely durable.

Full-grain leather looks better and better as it ages, and your WaterField bag will develop a beautiful patina.

A sling bag makes an ideal on-the-go carry. Comfortable and agile, they can carry your iPad, wallet, keys, tech gear, and other daily essentials, leaving your hands free.

A sling bag can be worn over the back, across the chest, over one shoulder, or around the waist.

Yes, we make a variety of specialized sling bags. Our Packable Sling makes for a great travel sling bag and our Moto Front Sling specializes in making gear easily accessible while commuting. We also make smaller sling pouches that are perfect for small gear like our Essential iPhone Pouch.
