Leather Briefcases & Messengers

Unlike cloth or nylon messenger bags that will quickly get dirty and are not waterproof, leather messenger bags provide better protection. Full-grain leather messenger bags from Hides, in particular, provide utmost safety.

Crafted from 100% full-grain leather – the top-grade leather that has not been buffed, snuffed, or sanded – our messenger bags are guaranteed to be extremely tough. Full-grain is just short of “full amount of grain.” This translates to the surface bearing still the top layer of fibers so full-grain undoubtedly is denser, stronger, and more water-resistant than other layers or types of leather. Given that full-grain leather is closest to its natural state expect it to be really thick and therefore really sturdy.

Hides do not just stop at using a premium base material. We also made sure that the components that will hold our bags complete are of top-notch quality. Italian brass hardware, nylon thread, and never-not-smooth YKK zippers were also used to ensure the bag’s dependable functionality. Our messenger bags won’t fail you for rivets are placed on areas that receive the most stress, too.

Not to be missed is the way our leather messenger bag ages. By using vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, we get to offer crossbody bags that change its looks (for the better) over time.  With wear and use, your Hides leather briefcase crossbody or messenger bag will develop a rich patina. This soft sheen and time-weathered look will give your leather bag a unique character.
