Genuine Hand Stitched Leather Messenger Bag - Thick Rustic Dark Brown

Genuine Orgill Originals Messenger Bag with detachable leather strap. Keep it simple with this shoulder bag that's not too small for a day of travel and not too big where you feel overwhelmed by what you're carrying. The perfect medium.

This bag is made from a beautiful dark rustic brown leather. Incredibly thick and sturdy this leather is known as 'crazyhorse' it gets this name as it is a popular choice in the saddlery trade! It has a unique finish which is very soft and almost 'dusty' as it creates subtle changes in the brown colour when you brush your hand against it. This effect is created by applying wax to the top layer of the leather which enhances the fibres so that when it is scratched or rubbed the natural colour of the leather changes in light and dark areas giving it a unique vintage look. Scratches and marks can be softened by buffing the leather with a soft cloth in circular motions.

Our design features one main inner section, ideal for your main items, such as purse, keys, notepad etc. and a slim internal pocket for smaller pieces such as train tickets or a phone. The inside shows off the soft suede side of the leather which also protects your items. Secured with a working buckle and choose between carrying your bag on your shoulder, or using it as a handheld. Simply unhook the lobster clasps for an instant change in style. Hand stitched with dark brown thread and finished with antique brass coloured metalwork.

From cutting the patterns, punching holes to sewing in the traditional saddle stitch. Each bag is completely unique due to this process!

Leather ages naturally over time, this is its natural patina, ingrained with all your memories and travels together. Try to avoid getting your leather wet, if it does, wipe clean with a cloth and allow to dry out naturally. If your leather begins to crack techniques such as using leather moisturisers or oils can help soften it. Be sure to test any product on a small area not easily visible as some may cause slight discolouring of your leather.
