You'll feel proud to own this piece of craftsmanship, or even more so giving it as a gift to a lucky recipient!

Our simple design means you can fit in all the essentials for a day of travel, be that an A5 sketchbook, disposable camera and small waterbottle, or your trusty tablet, purse and diary. This bag consists of one large inner section, with a slim internal pocket for smaller items such as your mobile or train tickets etc. The natural suede side of the leather is showcased here while also protecting your items. Secured with a tuck lock clasp under the buckle for extra security. Finished with nickel silver coloured metalwork and white thread. The straps of the bag are adjustable by using the buckles on each one, or completely remove them by simply unhooking the lobster clasps to give your bag a whole new look!

Each bag 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.

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. Please note our hand dyed leathers may transfer colour slightly onto light coloured materials.

Colours may vary in real life due to computer screen settings.
