Summit Bound Leather & Canvas Messenger Bag

The Summit Bound Leather & Canvas Messenger from HLB.Co is a lighter messenger bag for people who want the rugged look of leather without the weight of an all-leather bag. The body is waxed cotton canvas, and the trim, flap and straps are crazy horse leather. It works for the office, the commute, a day exploring the city or a weekend trip, and it suits both men and women. The crazy horse leather develops a unique patina over time, and the waxed canvas gives it a rugged, vintage feel.

What is crazy horse leather?

Crazy horse leather is cowhide with a layer of wax applied to a smoothed full grain surface. When it’s scratched or bent, the colour lightens a little, and rubbing it gently with a finger blends the mark. Over time, these marks become part of its patina and no two bags look the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Summit Bound waterproof?
It’s water-resistant, not waterproof. The waxed canvas sheds light rain and splashes. In a heavy downpour, the water can get in at the seams and the zip, so use a rain cover or a dry bag inside.

Will the canvas wear faster than the leather?
Canvas wears faster than leather, especially at the bottom where the bag touches the ground. Set it down on clean surfaces when you can. [If the base is reinforced with leather, say so here.]

What size laptop fits?
The reinforced compartment fits laptops up to 15". Some large gaming laptops are bulkier and may not fit, so measure your laptop’s width and depth before you order.
