Aspects 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.

Made of soft pliable leathers the bags are designed to last many years. The texture of the hides used varies in color and as they age the develop a patina the enhances their beauty over the years. Using a cleaner may temporarily darken the color but within a few days the oils are absorbed completely and the original shades will return.

The shoulder straps serve to make transporting them much easier. The straps may be removable when there is a top handle provided. The top handle is generally riveted to a metal bar that is inlaid into the construction to provide a higher level of durability for carrying the weight of electronics and files. This same riveting is used on the sides for the shoulder straps and other points of high stress on the bags.

They are built with separate compartments for electronic devices such as laptop computers and cell phones that are padded for extra protection against damage during transport. On the inside you may find pockets that are designed to hold pens and others for business cards and note pads. The main body is wide and deep enough to contain several files when necessary. You may also find hidden compartments in the bottom to keep your money and other small valuables safe.

In an effort to make their bags distinctive some manufacturers elect to use metal buckles and clasps generally found on saddles in their designs. Many of these rustic touches are found on bags that have been hand made from start to finish. The bags close by dropping a flap over the front side and connecting it to the bottom front with a small metal buckle. These touches add to the rustic appearance and gives the bag individual character.

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.
