Vitesse Brief
You'll love the elegant simplicity of the Vitesse Brief. The design showcases the natural character of the 15-oz. waxed canvas, chosen for its abrasion- and water-resistance. Expertly-sewn binding on all seams keeps them from fraying, and a double layer of canvas on the bottom and sides bolsters durability. Quality hardware and full-grain leather accents complete the Brief's buy-it-for-life look. Includes a 1.5-inch Simple Strap which may be upgraded to a Supreme Suspension Shoulder Strap.
See the Vitesse Collection for the Vitesse Cycling Musette, the medium-sized Vitesse Plus, or the larger Vitesse Messenger Bag.
All our products are crafted locally in our workshop by the most skilled sewing team in San Francisco.

IT'S ELEGANTLY SIMPLE
The minimalist design and open interior of this versatile, lightweight brief let you carry work or personal items with ease.
Inside, a wide pocket fits a laptop (protected in its own sleeve) or documents, and two deep organizational pockets hold accessories. The sides and bottom are reinforced with a double layer of waxed canvas for durability.
HEAVY-DUTY 15 OZ. WAXED CANVAS
Not all waxed canvas bags are created equal. Lower quality bags use 6 oz. canvas. The majority designated as “durable” use 12 oz. canvas. At 15 oz., our waxed canvas exceeds what is commonly sold in the market, yet it's still lightweight. It has a naturally rugged, distressed look you can re-wax to freshen it up.
The canvas comes from a reputable U.S. mill that has produced these fabrics since 1930. This specialized textile is coated with Martexin Original Wax™ and shouldn't require much cleaning. Just wipe off stains with a damp cloth.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE HARDWARE
High quality hardware components complement the elegant simplicity of the Vitesse Brief, ensuring that what you carry will remain safe and protected.
Double zipper-pulls overlap so you can lock them together to secure your bag's contents. The straps attach to industrial-grade clips that swivel so your Brief stays balanced on your body as you move. The double paragliding-style buckles on the flap are easy to open for those familiar with it, but are a deterrence for pickpockets.
THE VITESSE COLLECTION
All Vitesse bags have a straightforward, uncomplicated design that makes them ideal lightweight everyday carry bags. All are made from the same 15 oz. premium waxed canvas, use high performance hardware, and are built to last. They're a perfect choice for buy-it-for-life shoppers.
In addition to the Vitesse Brief, the Vitesse line includes the Vitesse Musette Collection which includes three sizes: the small Vitesse Cycling Musette, the medium Vitesse Musette Plus, or the large Vitesse Messenger Bag.
