Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The padded internal sleeve holds laptops up to 16" (24 cm x 39 cm). Around it, the 16L main compartment leaves room for notebooks, chargers and a light layer, so the bag carries a full work day without turning into a suitcase.
It is water-resistant, not waterproof. The 100% recycled polyester ripstop shell handles showers and wet bike rides, and the snap buckle closure keeps the main compartment covered. For a downpour that lasts the whole ride, give your electronics their own sleeve: no bag this slim keeps water out forever.
A 16" laptop in its padded sleeve, a couple of notebooks, a charger, lunch and a light jacket. The two outer press-button pockets take phone and keys, the zippered back pocket guards what must not fall out, and the inner zip pocket swallows the small stuff.
That is the terrain it was built on. The adjustable shoulder strap pulls it tight as a crossbody so it stays put while you ride, the shell handles the rain, and at 670 g you stop noticing it. Off the bike, grab it by the leather handle and walk straight into your meeting.
Same Everyday line, two temperaments. The Messenger favours the crossbody carry and quick access on the move; the Everyday Briefcase trades that for a more formal, office-first cut. If your week is more boardroom than bike lane, the briefcase is the sibling to consider.
Honestly, no. With its slim 8 cm depth, the Everyday Messenger keeps a sharp profile precisely because it refuses bulk: shoes and a change of clothes will fight it. It is built for the laptop, notebook and charger life. If you want the same daily format with a rugged, natural-fibre character, our canvas laptop messenger CHICAGO takes the scenic route.
Little is needed. Wipe the recycled polyester shell with a damp cloth and mild soap, let it air dry away from radiators, and give the leather details an occasional touch of neutral leather balm so they age well. Skip the washing machine: it would be harder on the fabric than years of commuting.
