About this piece

Waxed canvas and full-grain leather trim give this compact messenger bag a warm two-tone look without the bulk of a full-size laptop case. The olive-green body measures 10½ inches wide, 1¾ inches deep and 11⅞ inches high, making it suited to a tablet, documents and smaller daily essentials. A push-lock flap closes over the main compartment.

Use the front slip pocket for papers and the rear zip pocket for items you want close at hand. Inside, a zip pocket and two gusseted pockets help separate accessories. The adjustable strap supports shoulder or crossbody carry. The supplier fit tested one 13-inch Dell laptop, but device dimensions vary; compare yours before ordering.

Why we chose it.

We chose this compact version for days when a tablet, papers and a few essentials are enough. Its slim 1¾-inch depth keeps the silhouette close to the body, while the front and rear pockets separate frequently used items from the main compartment. A laptop fit test applies to one specific device, so dimensions matter more than screen size.

Where it fits best.

Wear it crossbody over a simple coat or overshirt. Use the front pocket for a slim notebook and keep smaller essentials in the rear zip pocket so the flap can stay closed.
