Black leather messenger bag, man's leather briefcase, crossbody laptop bag, large soft black leather travel bag indigo striped denim lining

Soft thick black cow leather messenger style bag with large capacity, striped denim lined interior with zippered pockets. Great for weekend trips or carrying gear to the urban office. Have a laptop you need to cart around, heck, have a desk top? It will fit, they'll both fit.

The Patient Belongings is made from extremely soft, 1.8 mm-thick chamois cow leather. The body of the bag is fashioned from a giant single section of leather with no cuts. This is an expensive but beauty-in-design driven undertaking. A second large piece is used in the construction of the top flap closure. Thus, only two parts are used to build the core of the bag.

To the front of the bag, I added double-leather, double-length adjustable front closure straps with metal fasteners. Between these I put a large keep-safe pocket closed with a super-size bronze zipper. Secured on the two sides of the bag and bridging the top is a 2-inch wide double-thick strap with a hefty twin-pin buckle and Italian bronze eyelets (bronze won't rust, steel will). A 9.5 inch sliding all-leather-construction cushion cradles your shoulder to soften heavy loads.

On the cavernous inside, you will find the bag completely lined in prison-grade sepia-toned indigo/cream striped cotton denim and a trio of holding cells: two giant toss pockets lined in denim and leather, one on each side of the bag front and back, and a third keep-safe pocket with bronze zipper closure sharing a cell wall with the back-side toss pocket.

If you are in the market for something light-weight this bag will disappoint you. It was designed for quality, durability, and beauty, and expense has not been spared. Weight and money saving options such as thin leather, multiple cut/patch-work construction, polyester lining, cheap rust-inviting eyelets, plastic zippers, etc... were eschewed. This bag was built to last.

The exterior may be finished in Dada swirls and splatters, of both premeditated and chance origin. These techniques make each bag unique and one of a kind (this refers to the finish only and not the bag design). Alternately, it is available without the splatters in SuperBlack heretofore referred to as Used Motor Oil color. If choosing splatters, please bear in mind that they are hand done and will not be exactly the same as those seen in the photo though in size and scope I will try and maintain the maximal similarity. There is also the option of choosing either brushed nickel or black grommets in the shoulder strap.

Naturally occurring variations in the leather such as wrinkles, scuffs, speckles, and scars, and sometimes the brand on the cow hide, have been sought and searched for in the choosing of the skins for the making of these bags. They give beauty and character and ruggedness. They are a link to the natural, organic, non-manufactured origins of the leather. They are unique to each skin and thus to each bag. And you won't have to worry about treating them roughly and dirtying or damaging them.

Dark dyed leathers may at times transfer dye to lighter colored materials in the beginning weeks of its life when damp and in constant contact (such as a damp shoulder strap on a white shirt).

The dimensions: The width across the top is 27 inches/69 cm. On the back side, from the top of the bag to the seat is 13 inches/33 cm. The depth of the bag at the bottom is 7.5 inches/19 cm. The 2 inch/5 cm wide shoulder strap length is adjustable from 33 inches/84 cm to 44 inches/112 cm. The front outside pocket measures 11 inches/28 cm x 8 inches/20 cm. The 3 inner pockets measure 13 inches/33 cm x 8.5 inches/22 cm.
