Recognizing that many messenger bags have a tendency to look overly masculine or ultra-utilitarian without much high fashion polish, this version adds purse-like details for a look that’s rugged AND refined. The brown sheepskin leather retains a distressed, crinkly effect, but the patent/woven leather strap (with an 18″ drop so you can drape it across your body) and prominent gold ball details feel modern and chic.
