Description
Our top-of-line messenger bag is an arrangement of all of our best features: from divided gusset, to faux-buckles, burnished and dyed-edges, and a comfortable handle covering — it’s our number one selling bag.
Like the majority of bags in our messenger line, this offering is crafted from high-quality 7-8oz vegetable tanned leather, that has then been drum dyed and finished with a special blend of oils and waxes (a supple finish, but the leather will absolutely maintain its shape overtime). Additionally, it’s extremely durable and intended for “lifetime” wear — the perfect everyday bag. And, with a two compartment interior, it offers a little more separation of belongings.
Simply put, if you put all of the features from all of our classic bags into one offering, this is it.
• Divided gusset: unlike the majority of our classic messenger bags (with buckles), this bag has a divided gusset. Aesthetically, we love the look on the outside, and functionally, it creates a two compartment interior. .
• Your choice of classic functional buckles, or hidden tuck-locks behind the buckles for ease of use.
• 7-8oz Wickett & Craig, American tanned, English Bridle – A vegetable tanned leather with an extremely smooth finish on both the top and back sides, yet it will retain its durability and form even under years of heavy use.
• Solid brass buckles and clips feature excellent build quality regarding both feel and thickness, with your choice of finish: Brass, Antique Brass, Nickel, or Matte Nickel
• 1 1/4″ wide removable shoulder strap.
*Please note that this bag does NOT include the detachable bottle holder, and if it’s something you would like to add to your bag, please select it here: Detachable drink holder

I could not possibly be happier with the quality of this bag. The quality of the materials and the manifest skill and care with which they have been assembled are far beyond any factory-produced good I have ever purchased. When I ordered this bag, it was my hope that I was investing in an heirloom quality object. There is no doubt in my mind that I received exactly that.

I love my new messenger bag. Classic but also so uniquely and cleanly designed that it’s modern at the same time. I get compliments all the time. I did buy the separate luggage strap, but wish the bag came with an option to have it permanently attached. The leather is awesome quality and thickness. I already want to buy another!

I Would Highly, Highly Recommend Basader. The Quality And Craftsmanship Of The Bag Alone Would Merit A 5-Star Rating, But Philip And Elin Were Truly A Pleasure To Work With And Helped Rush Order A Bag (During The Holidays, No Less) To Ensure That We Could Give The Perfect Holiday Present On Time. Any Special Event In The Future Will Definitely Merit The Giving Of One Of Their Special, Beautiful Bags — I’M Already Excited To Work With Them Again!

This Bag Came As Described; First Impressions Have Been Routinely Centered Around The Quality Materials And Craftsmanship That Obviously Went Into The Bag. The Color Is Perfect – Not Too Light, Not Too Dark. The Insides Are As Buttery-Soft As Described. If Only I Could Shove My Coffee Mug In There, Too! Fits A 15′ Rmbp Like A Glove. Comfortable To Wear For Extended Periods Of Time; Public Transit Tested! You Will Not Regret Investing In One Of These Hand-Crafted Bags!

Not Only Are Their Products Gorgeous, But Philip Is A Class Act. He Is Very Communicative And Accommodating. I Was Able To Get My Order To Me In Time For Christmas, Much To The Satisfaction Of My Now Much More Stylish Husband.
