The Ultimate Handy Guide for Buying Vintage Leather Messenger Bag

If you are thinking of buying a leather messenger bag for women or men, you already know that there is a lot to think about.

If you are looking for something that lasts, you will be making a significant investment and want to make sure you make the right decision. But there are so many decisions to be made and here few of them listed below- 

1. Does it fit your laptop?

This is the one you need to be extra careful with. The key thing to remember here is that just because the bag is 15 inches wide doesn't mean it will fit your 15 inch laptop. What you are looking for are the dimensions of the laptop sleeve.

Make sure to measure the diagonal size of your laptop screen (or go to your laptop manufacturer's website) and then check the leather bag page for the compatible laptop size.

We also recommend getting a bag with a padded laptop compartment, just for extra peace of mind.

2. Can it fit all your gear?

We encourage you to think about all the gear you will be putting in your women’s or men’s leather laptop messenger bag before making a purchase.

Are we just talking about a laptop and a few chargers? Or is it all your papers, files, books, gym equipment, laptop, and lunch? If you're looking for something that stores a bit more, it's a good idea to look for something that has a good internal organization system, extra width, and more pockets on the outside as well. 

3. What look do you want?

A women’s or men’s vintage leather messenger bag makes a statement. This tells the world that you are a little more adult, maybe even a little more sophisticated. But after that, what look are you going?

4. What colors should you consider?

If you are looking for full grain or high quality leather bags, you usually have a choice of different shades of brown or black. We find that black bags will go with everything, but if you really want to show off your style and make a statement, a lighter brown can really make an impact.

5. Light vs heavy

If you've never had a genuine leather bag before, you might find that it's a bit heavier than you're used to. Be sure to check the weight of a bag before purchasing it.

We recommend that you weigh the standard daily transport you currently use, perhaps your backpack or purse; then compare that to the leather bag you are looking at. If you're going to be carrying your bag around all day, maybe look for something a little more compact.

6. Do you need a shoulder strap or a baggage strap?

Designed to make it easier to carry your bag, shoulder straps are beneficial for most people. The ideal is to find a leather shoulder strap for men.

Be sure to browse photos of all leather bags to make sure an adjustable shoulder strap is included. Bonus points if it is removable! Your leather bag can then be used as a briefcase.

7. Does it have quality material?

If you are looking for something in the range of leather messenger bag for women or men that will stand the test of time, be sure to consider the quality of the material as well as the quality of the leather.

If you go for something like full grain or premium leather, the material will often wear out before the leather, so be sure to go with something that will last.

8. Peace of mind guaranteed

Whether or not you like your genuine leather document holder often depends on individual taste. We encourage readers to choose a provider that offers some sort of peace of mind guarantee. So if you order the wrong size or color, or just change your mind, you're considering an easy return or exchange process - great for more expensive purchases like this.

There are many online stores out there that offer a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied within the first 30 days, let them know and we will provide you with a hassle-free return and full refund.

9. Price

With genuine leather messenger bags, you really get what you pay for. A cheaper genuine leather bag will do a job for a while, but will wear out and you'll find yourself replacing it before long.

Since full grain, premium leather gets better with age, you'll likely find that you prefer the look of your bag over the years.

Conclusion-

The above mentioned points will help you in finding the best leather messenger bags for men or women online.
