Not just a work bag. It's the work bag, in our professional opinion. Office and outfit-approved with a sleek design and luxurious leather. Plus, we've thought of everything so you don't have to. A few features you'll love: A padded laptop sleeve, water bottle holder, luggage handle sleeve, and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free days.
What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
- ·Made by Poppy Barley in Canada.
Longevity & Care
- ·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.
- ·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.
