Know before you buy
Because it is made from full-grain cowhide, the leather will naturally develop a unique patina as it ages. The oils and waxes used in the finish help the material soften and gain character, making the bag look better the more you use it.
The bag features a dedicated interior tablet sleeve and a single main compartment designed for slim electronics and documents. While it is perfect for a tablet or a thin 13-inch laptop, it is not intended for bulky, large-format gaming laptops.
No, the shoulder strap is permanently attached to the bag. However, it is fully adjustable, allowing you to find the most comfortable length for carrying.
The bag includes a built-in trolley sleeve on the back, which allows you to slide the briefcase over the handle of your wheeled luggage. This keeps your bag secure and stable while navigating through airports or busy city streets.
The Garfield is crafted from premium leather and is not treated with a water-resistant coating. We recommend avoiding heavy exposure to moisture to preserve the finish of the cowhide.
The bag uses metal 'tuck-tite' closures hidden behind the traditional buckle aesthetic. This allows you to open and close the bag quickly without having to fiddle with the actual buckles every time.
