9 Tips on Finding the Perfect Leather Messenger Bag

1. Style

You've probably seen that messenger bags come in a wide range of designs. Listed here are some of the most common types of clothing.
  • Minimalist: It has a sleek and modern appearance that will appeal to many. Versatile enough for both informal and formal gatherings. Sometimes the leather is given a beautiful, smooth finish.
  • Utilitarian / Feature Focus: This type of bag usually has a number of pockets on the outside as well as cushioned inserts and other features. This style is ideal for regular commuting because it is lightweight and comfortable.
  • Vintage: Authentic western design. Basically, it's a cross between a practical bag and an outdoor bag. This is a good product for everyday usage.

 

2. Leather Type

Leather comes in a variety of grades, as you are well aware of. A quick review of the different kinds is provided here.
  • Top-Grain Leather: I think this is the prettiest leather I've ever seen. To remove any surface flaws like scars, natural weathering, etc., it is produced from the top of the cowhide and has been polished and treated. It acquires a lovely patination over time, which is both visually appealing and tactilely pleasing.
  • Full-Grain Leather: Durability and strength are unparalleled in this thick leather version. It will also acquire a beautiful patina, like top-grain. Compared to other varieties of leather, this one requires a longer break-in period before it can be used. If you like it, you'll want to buy it again and again.
  • Nubuck Leather: To achieve a velvet-like feel, nubuck has been buff- and-sanded like suede. In contrast to suede, nubuck leather, which is made from the top-grain of the leather, is far more durable. Nubuck leather is frequently derived from calfskin, which is the most common source.
The leathers listed above are frequently obtained from tanneries known for producing high-quality materials. Those who respect quality and are willing to pay more should only choose these sorts of materials for handmade genuine leather bags for men and women.
  • Genuine Leather: It is made from the backside of leather, which makes it less durable than genuine leather. With frequent usage, you may expect real leather to last only a few years.
  • Suede: Suede is made from the underside of animal skin and has a velvet-like napped texture (source). If it gets filthy or scuffed, it will require particular care.
  • Lambskin: Despite being less durable than cowhide, this leather feels nice to the touch and looks good. For corporate or professional settings, this leather is best.
  • Faux Leather: Made from polyurethane and sold as synthetic or PU leather, it is both animal and vegan-friendly. For this leather, never spend more than $75.

 

3. Storage & Compartments

Well-designed storage sections make it easy to keep your things organized and accessible. You should be aware of the following key storage options when choosing handmade genuine leather travel bags for men and women:
  • Main / Large Compartment: Where you keep the bulk of your equipment. Try not to go overboard here, despite how tempting it may seem. Your costly gear may be accidentally damaged if you have too much stuff stowed in your big compartment. It will also make it more difficult to discover things.
  • Interior Pockets: Particularly if you intend to carry a lot of stuff, it's a good idea to include pockets for your most often used goods (i.e. laptop/tablet, phone, headphones, etc). Padded inserts, on the other hand, offer additional protection.
  • Exterior Side Pockets: No need to open the main compartment in order to access necessary goods A great place to keep your cell or other little items such as a drink, documents, or your wallet.

 

4. Shoulder Strap

The right shoulder strap will make the bag much more comfortable for you to carry - especially if you intend on taking a lot of stuff around with you! Please take note of the following:
  • Padded Shoulder Straps: Comfortably carries your bags by shifting weight and offering shoulder padding.
  • Adjustable Shoulder Strap: Assists in keeping the bag close to your body and out of the way when walking. Allows the bag to be at the right height for everyone, no matter how tall or short they may be.
  • Removable Strap: There are messenger bags that come with detachable shoulder straps. Using only the top handle might make it suitable for business formal settings when the bag is utilized with the top handle.

 

5. Closure Type

The right shoulder strap will make the bag much more comfortable for you to carry - especially if you intend on taking a lot of stuff around with you! Please take note of the following:
  • Padded Shoulder Straps: Comfortably carries your bags by shifting weight and offering shoulder padding.
  • Adjustable Shoulder Strap: Assists in keeping the bag close to your body and out of the way when walking. Allows the bag to be at the right height for everyone, no matter how tall or short they may be.
  • Removable Strap: There are messenger bags that come with detachable shoulder straps. Using only the top handle might make it suitable for business formal settings when the bag is utilized with the top handle.

 

6. Extra Features

When choosing a messenger bag, you may want to consider the following features:
  • Padded Laptop Sleeve: As an added measure of security, a laptop sleeve is designed to protect your laptop from mild impacts and brief drops. In order to carry your laptop on a daily basis, you'll need a laptop sleeve that is cushioned.
  • RFID Protection: There is a lot of anxiety about RFID skimming among many people. In order to avoid money theft, several firms create RFID leather messenger bags with a specific lining. We only recommend this if you reside in a region where public transit is readily available.
  • Card Slots: Accessible card slots are ideal for business people who are always networking and need to have their business cards handy.
  • Durable Canvas Lining: When spills soak through the thick duck canvas inside and damage the leather outside, it prevents leather from decaying inside out. Canvas is a good option if you plan on putting beverages, sodas, and other items in your bag on a frequent basis.
  • Cell Phone Pocket: In an era where smartphones continue to grow in size, the pant pocket is no longer a viable place to store your devices. As a bonus, you may add a mobile phone pocket to your bag.

 

7. Country of Origin

Origin doesn't always equate to quality.  The most important thing to look for is the type of leather used.  Is it full grain leather? Is it handmade? These are questions you should ask.

 

8. Durability & Handwork

The greatest leather bags are made from the toughest leathers available on the market today. They're professional works of art - it's not just a matter of putting various pieces together. A careful selection of leather and exact stitching are both required to create a high-quality bag.
Ideally, the bag should be able to carry a specific amount of weight and be moved around without being weakened. Full-grain leather produces the most durable bags, which is why grain is so important. As an alternative, top-grain leather is less expensive and just as effective.
Sewing should be straight, hardly visible, and free of any loose threads on the bag. This uniformity should be checked on both the inner and exterior surfaces. A strengthened stitch or a metal fixture should also be used to secure the handles to the body. When the bag's handles are permanently bonded on, they're at risk of coming free or falling off.

 

9. Color

A breakdown of the most popular leather bag colors, along with the context in which they may be found. In a professional setting, black and dark brown are the most appropriate colors. There is an air of authority and strength emanating from their personas. When working in a more informal or relaxed environment, tans and lighter browns are ideal.
Because it goes with any suit color, black is the most formal option. Nevertheless, dark brown leather is also a great option. Despite the passage of time, this hue may still be stylish and attractive Avoid bags with more than two different colors or embroidery in clashing hues. Flamboyant is the word that comes to mind while describing these bags. The safest bet for handmade genuine leather bags for men and women would be to stick with a single hue.

About Price

Keep in mind that price is not necessarily a reliable measure of the quality of a product. There are some businesses that charge more for inferior quality merely because they have a name attached to their product or service. Quality comes at a cost, however. As a result, it is recommended that you avoid paying a name-brand premium and instead choose a premium product. You're looking for leather bags that are reasonably priced and feature all of the above-mentioned important quality indicators.

Summary

Those are the many sorts of handmade genuine leather bags for men and women. Then you've come to the right place! Take a look at this leather bag. Consider a professional work bag for your aspiring lawyer grandchild. You might want to look at a leather briefcase.
There's a fantastic leather bag for you or a loved one in our selection, no matter what the occasion. When in doubt, check out our whole selection of leather bags. Most popular goods have been placed at the front of the selection so you can see what our customers like most.
