Note: full grain leather is a natural material, which may have small traces, veins or marks inherent to the material. Scratches can be easily removed by lightly rubbing them with a cloth impregnated with vegetable oil. The color of the leather might slightly varies depending on the batches.

Oil immersed leather products can be prone by nature to colour transference on light fabrics. To avoid that, please make sure to dry your leather if it gets wet and try avoid contact with light coloured fabrics. If you however notice some stains, don't worry, it come out in the wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

+

Does the MANOA fit a laptop?

Yes. The main compartment includes a dedicated computer interlayer that holds your laptop flat against the back of the bag, with a smartphone pocket and an interior zipper pocket alongside for the small essentials.

+

How big is this messenger bag?

42 x 29 x 13.5 cm for 16.5 L: a full work kit, a book and a jacket, or a light overnight setup. If that is more than you ever carry, the JAYA small leather messenger bag covers the daily minimum in the same vintage spirit.

+

How do you wear it?

On a single shoulder strap, over the shoulder or across the chest: the MANOA is cut as a messenger and crossbody bag, and its soft body settles against you rather than boxing you in.

+

Is it only for men?

The spec sheet says men; the mirror disagrees. The lines are sober and vintage with nothing gendered about them, and the bag sits just as naturally on a woman's shoulder. Pick the colour, brown, black or burgundy, and ignore the label.

+

Can it handle rain?

Light rain, yes; a downpour, no. Leather is a natural material, not a waterproof membrane. If the bag gets wet, dry it before storing and keep it away from light coloured fabrics while damp, as oil immersed leather can transfer colour: if it does, it comes out in the wash.

+

Who is it not for?

Daily cyclists, and anyone who needs a bag to be invisible on the scale: at 1.6 kg empty, the MANOA carries leather's weight along with its character. For an all-weather commute in technical fabric, the Sandqvist Stream Messenger does that job better.

+

How do I care for the leather?

A scratch lifts with a cloth and a drop of vegetable oil; small traces and veins are inherent to the material, not defects. Dry the bag if it gets wet, and let the rest of the ageing happen: that is where the vintage look comes from. It is covered by our 2-year warranty.
