Features 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.

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.

The bags have a single gusset design that is large enough to hold several files and other paper goods such as tablets. The main body of this bag also may have pockets built into the sides to hold smaller items you will need such as pens, calculator, or cell phones. There is usually a specific compartment on the back that is meant to carry your laptop. Some have areas in the body that seals off an area for valuables you may need to store.

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 new concept in the design of these bags allows them to be converted into back packs. By looping the shoulder strap through specially designed slots placed at the top and bottom of designs they become completely hands free transportation for your belongings. The bags themselves weigh between three and five pounds so this may be a welcome option towards the end of your day.

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.

With proper care and normal use these bags are designed to last many years. They have a ten year warranty against damage although many are reported as having multi-generational heritages.
