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

+

What leather is the ATEA made from?

The ATEA is cut from full grain leather, the most resistant and sought-after part of cowhide. Nothing is sanded away, so the hide keeps its natural grain and evolves with use: every trip leaves the surface a little more yours.

+

Is the ATEA a good bag for travel?

That is its trade. The 17 L format takes a full day of travel gear, the zipper keeps the main compartment closed on the move, and the detachable strap lets you sling it across your body when your hands are busy. For a more classic everyday format, the MANOA leather messenger bag is the other vintage messenger of the range.

+

Does it carry a laptop?

Yes. The interior offers storage spaces dedicated to your technology: computer, iPad or smartphone, each with its own place, with room left over for papers and the rest of your working kit.

+

How big is the travel messenger bag?

It measures 43 cm x 31 cm x 13 cm for 17 L of volume, at 1.5 kg on the scale. That is enough for a work day or the contents of a small weekend kit, without tipping into duffle territory.

+

Can I wear it by hand and on the shoulder?

Both. Carry it by hand for a professional look, or clip on the detachable shoulder strap for a more relaxed style: switching takes seconds. The leather is made to be used, not spared.

+

Who is the ATEA not for?

Gram counters. Full grain cowhide weighs what it weighs: 1.5 kg empty, before your computer joins in. If your commute calls for a light technical work bag rather than leather, the Topo Designs Global Briefcase is the modern counterpart in our catalogue.

+

How do I care for the full grain leather?

Very little. Light scratches disappear when you rub them with a cloth and a drop of vegetable oil, and if the bag gets wet, let it dry naturally before storing it. Keep the oil immersed leather away from light coloured fabrics while damp, as some colour can transfer. The ATEA is covered by our 2-year warranty.
