Know before you buy
The Sawyer is designed primarily for tablets and smaller devices. While it features a dedicated interior sleeve for an iPad or tablet, it is not sized to fit standard 15-inch or 16-inch laptops.
Waxed canvas is naturally water-resistant, making it an excellent choice for commuting in light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it is best to avoid submerging the bag or exposing it to heavy, prolonged downpours.
Yes, the bag includes an integrated over-the-handle strap on the back, allowing you to slide it securely over the handle of a rolling suitcase for easier navigation through airports.
Yes, the adjustable padded shoulder strap can be detached if you prefer to carry the bag using the rope-style handles.
The leather trim is durable, but like all natural leather, it benefits from occasional conditioning to keep it supple. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners and keep it away from direct heat sources to prevent drying.
The interior strap key hook provides a dedicated, secure spot to clip your keys so they don't get lost at the bottom of your bag. It allows you to quickly retrieve them without digging through your other belongings.
