Leather Messenger Bag

Hand crafted in a soft, supple leather, we love the classic shape of this messenger bag. Whether you’re enjoying a day-out or carting your study essentials to your next lecture, this versatile bag is up to the job.
Product Details
The outside may look simple, but the inside of this courier bag is thoughtfully designed for maximum organisation. Magnetic poppers at each edge of the front of the bag keep your belongings secure. On either side of the main compartment, there are two further slim divided compartments, as well as securely zipped pockets against the front and back sides. The leather shoulder strap is sturdy and adjustable for comfortable carrying over your shoulder or across your body.
The leather is treated with natural oils to keep it protected, water-resistant, and to give it a rich, smooth finish. While it’s a hard-wearing leather the character is such that there may be a map of small creases, marks or blemishes telling the tale of its travels. As it ages it will naturally become softer and slightly darker. We love how unique this makes every bag, and we hope you do too.
The exact lining fabric may vary slightly from the images but will be in the same colour palette and always complement the exterior of the bag.
Every one of our Paper High bags is delivered to you in a complimentary cotton dust bag, for extra protection when not in use.
Due to the handmade nature of our products each one is unique, but loveliness comes as standard.
Please note: as the leather is tanned with natural dyes, the shade of the bag may slightly vary from the images shown. If you’d like a specific shade please send us a message before placing your order, and we’ll do our best to find your perfect bag.
Approx. dimensions: Small - 22 × 7 × 17 cm
Medium - 38 × 10 × 28 cm
Large - 28 × 9 × 24 cm
Care Instructions
Our products feature distinct buffalo, cow, and goat leathers that are luxurious with a unique look and feel. As recycled materials, they possess individual character and may exhibit minor blemishes.
- The leather is water-resistant and designed to resist moisture. If it gets wet or dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and let it air dry naturally. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that may damage the leather’s finish.
- To preserve leather’s colour and suppleness, apply petroleum jelly with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners to maintain its natural texture.

Paper High
Born out of their love of travel, Paper High began as a round-the-world trip. An unexpected change in destination, an extended stay in Kathmandu, and a chance meeting with a paper maker sowed the seed of an exciting business idea. They are proud to uphold the principles of Fair Trade, valuing our producers’ skills, traditions, and their communities.

Sustainability
Sustainability
All their products are created with planet-friendly materials wherever possible. You’ll find paper made from cotton rags salvaged from the waste of the Indian garment industry, and photo frames crafted from elephant dung.
They also minimize their carbon footprint by importing goods by sea rather than air whenever possible, and they offset their carbon emissions every time they visit their producers.
All of their packaging is fully recyclable – even the bubble wrap! They reuse the boxes from suppliers to pack wholesale orders, and you might notice that they’re filled with shredded junk mail and wastepaper.
