Crafted in Montreal, our bags are a steadfast marriage of form and function. While the milled aniline leather helps retain the natural beauty of the grain and the classic design harkens back to the original messenger bags of the 1950s, zinc alloy snap buckle detailing and subtle front flap embossing give it a decidedly modern appeal. Inside, a zipped removable center pouch and zippered rear pocket give you lots of options for storage. The edges are waxed the traditional way by hand to ensure durability and a fine even finish. The brown model features bold contrasted stitching giving it a rustic sophistication while the other, in black, is all business. A perfect companion for busy days out and about.

Also available in: Black.

Drum-dyed leather — We soak our leather in a large drum to allow dye to penetrate all the way through the hide. Unlike shoes that are painted, drum-dyed leather is breathable, more comfortable, softer, more natural looking, and more forgiving, as any surface scratches will only reveal the dyed layers underneath.
Leather — The entire Mr. B’s line uses only first grade European leather sourced from Italian tanneries in Tuscany and Veneto. Each piece is inspected to ensure that it is clear, supple and clean, consistent in color, and smooth. This quality leather will not only become softer with time, but if well cared for will also develop a rich patina.

Milled leather — The leather is put into a "dry drum," with no chemicals and tumbled to soften the fibres within the skins. This gives it a "milled" effect, which is seen as patterns in the leather. It is strong, durable, soft and very flexible, while presenting a more robust and rugged look.
Vegetable-tanned — Still the most traditional way to both strengthen leather and to bring out its natural beauty and unique characteristics. Because vegetable-tanned leather is processed using natural tannins instead of harsh chemicals, it’s also better for the environment and much easier (not to mention safer) to recycle at the end of its life.
