Qualities Of A Full Grain Leather Messenger Bag

By Jocelyn Davidson


Getting from one business appointment to the next with everything you need to be successful can sometimes be a difficult task. Laptops, cell phones and other electronic aides can be cumbersome and heavy to transport especially considering the fact that they are just the tip of the iceberg when assembling the necessary tools of your trade. Many sales people have opted to use a full grain leather messenger bag as the best way to carry all of the items they will need during their daily business meetings.

These useful bags are created out of hides that have been made pliable and supple during the tanning process. Their texture and colors range from natural tans and browns to darker nearly black hues that are sometimes created with dyes or oils that treat the hide. Many oils and cleansers will change the color of a hide temporarily while the oils are being absorbed into the skin.

These bags have long shoulder straps for ease in carrying them and most also have a quick grab handle on the top for times when you need to move quickly from one location to the next. The top handle is usually attached with rivets to a metal bar that runs the full length of the carry case to allow added durability. Rivets are also applied to other stress points for added strength.

They have single gusset construction and are wide enough to hold files in the main pocket. There are also individual compartments inside to accommodate cell phones, tablets and other small items such as pens and business cards. A special padded section in the back is designed to hold laptop computers safely. For travel you may find a hidden compartment located at the bottom of your bag for concealing money, passports and other important documents.

Many of these bags are hand made by designers that choose to retain the rustic looks that come from using saddle buckles rather than zippers and snaps for closures. The top opening is covered by a flap that is secured to the bottom edge with a steel buckle. This touch gives the bags a distinctive air and enhances the character and appearance of vintage merchandise.

A modern touch that has been added to some designs allows the bags to be converted into easy to carry back packs. They use the shoulder straps in the conversion by placing strips of material on the bags that provide support for the strap to be looped into place for both shoulders to carry. This hands free option can provide the user with the ability to carry other materials to assist with a presentation in the field.

The concept of a smaller more versatile means of transporting electronics and other important goods appeals to both men and women. A briefcase can be heavy and clumsy to carry around and does not offer the versatility of having pockets or compartments on the outside for easy access to writing equipment or phones. With these bags the user has full and free access to whatever they may need at a given moment.

There is usually a ten year warranty on these bags but most are designed to last a lifetime with normal use and longer if they are properly cared for.
