From cutting the patterns, punching holes to sewing in the traditional saddle stitch. Each bag is completely unique due to this process!

Orgill Original messenger bags are not made to look perfect, they exude rustic flair with every cut, rivet and stitch created by hand. Each satchel is completely unique in this way that can never be replicated, you will see the true craftsmanship it's taken to make our bags, step out of the crowd, leave behind machine made accessories, be original with Orgill Original leather goods.

This particular messenger bag is made using a thick cream Italian leather that is sturdy and classic with rustic markings from its previous life. Finished with the coloured metalwork and thread of your choice.

Please note each messenger bag is made to order and will take between 7-14 working days to be made before dispatch. If you need a bag sooner please get in touch so we can inform you of our current stock. Also note your backpack will differ slightly to those shown in the images due to the natural finish of the leather we use, this is all part of the handmade process and will make your bag even more unique to you!

Choose from antique brass colour, silver colour or gold coloured metalwork. The bag in the images has been made with antique brass metalwork and golden brown thread. Your thread options are:

• Black - A bold modern stitching that really shows off the cream leather
• Dark Brown - A complimentary colour to the cream
• Golden Brown - A subtle colour that compliments the leather well
• Cream White - Blends into the cream leather perfectly
• Pure White - A stark thread that clashes with the cream for a unique finish 

You can find a photo of each thread colour at the end of this description.

Leather ages naturally over time, this is its natural patina, ingrained with all your memories and travels together. Try to avoid getting your leather wet, if it does, wipe clean with a cloth and allow to dry out naturally. If your leather begins to crack techniques such as using leather moisturisers or oils can help soften it. Be sure to test any product on a small area not easily visible as some may cause slight discolouring of your leather.
