Full Grain Leather Messenger Bags – Handmade from Designers Von Baer
Carry your essential gear in a durable and stylish full-grain leather messenger bag. Our bags are beautiful and professional-looking, handcrafted in Italy using only premium leather. Your belongings have never been so well protected.
Our luxurious leather is available in black, dark brown, and tan (with some products also having red leather options).
How to Style Your Messenger Bag
A messenger bag is highly versatile. The handles can carry the bag, similar to a traditional briefcase or worn crossbody.
- The shoulder strap should fit snugly to the body when wearing the bag crossbody so it doesn't get in the way when you are moving around.
- The shoulder strap is removable, if you choose to carry the bag by the handles, take the shoulder strap off so it doesn't flap around.
Co-Founder: Albert Varkki
Von Baer was founded because I wanted a unique and high-quality laptop bag for myself, without paying for an unreasonably overpriced designer brand. I've spent over 500 hours testing 1,000s of leather products over 11 years to help you get a better product.
I'm proud of the luxurious leather goods we've created since 2014, and I'm sure you'll love them too. Read more about our story here.
We strive for the highest editorial standards, and to only publish accurate information on our website.
How Is Von Baer Leather Different?
Not all leather is the same.
Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.
Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:
- Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
- Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
- Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
- Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
- The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
- Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
- Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.
That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.
It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.
It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).
