Work, travel, and the miles between them come together in the Kent Leather Messenger. Handcrafted from full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, this substantial leather messenger bag pairs classic WILL character with the kind of organization that makes a demanding day easier.

 

A dual-station antique brass turn-lock secures the flap, while an additional adjustable snap closure and hidden rain flaps add protection when the weather turns. On the back, a zippered trolley sleeve slides over a rolling suitcase handle, making the Kent equally comfortable in the office or moving through an airport.

 

Inside, WILL’s signature plaid lining surrounds a removable padded laptop sleeve, roomy zippered pocket, multiple slip and gusset pockets, pen slots, a business card slot, and an antique brass key clip. The layout gives laptops, documents, cords, and smaller work essentials a dedicated place without overcomplicating the bag.

 

Carry it by the rivet-reinforced top handle or attach the adjustable crossbody strap for hands-free travel and commuting. Brass YKK zippers, steel rivets and snaps, heavy-gauge nylon thread, and antique brass-finish hardware reinforce the construction throughout.

 

As the full-grain leather softens and develops patina, the Kent becomes more personal with every meeting, commute, and journey.

 

Backed by the WILL Leather Goods Lifetime Guarantee — enduring craftsmanship made for years of work and travel.

This bag is amazing

"I absolutely love this bag. The color is fantastic, the leather is super soft, the bag is roomy. I am very happy with it. I also love the little pillow that came with it. I have nothing but good things to say about this bag. Granted I have only had it for a few weeks but It is everything I hoped for. Highly recommend it."

Bought it for work

"Bought it for work to pair with suits. Timeless and simple design with plenty of room for a laptop, water bottle, and other things you might need. Leather and overall quality is great - might get the black one too"

— Jared (5/5)

More than a Decade of Use

"I purchased a Kent Messenger more than a decade ago, roughly around 2012, and it is still serving me well as an everyday work bag and sometime travel bag. It looks like they've made some adjustments in the years since I bought mine; I like the ability to slide it onto a rolling suitcase handle in the newer model (which I do not own). But the quality is fantastic, it holds up and is still in great shape. The one thing I'd warn about is that the latch on the flap was the one weak point, with the brass fittings eventually working their way out. Will has been good about sending me replacements over the years, but you should be cognizant that is an issue."

Love this bag!!!

"Love it! Great quality, beautiful appearance."

— Anthony S. (5/5)

Absolutely Love

"I wavered on whether or not to get this bag for months before finally pulling the trigger. So glad I finally bought it, this bag is a work of art that I carry every day for work, multiple co workers have threatened to steal it from me and I get compliments daily"

— Gavin L. (5/5)

Love the Kent

"This is my first bag from Will and it does not disappoint. It is a great travel companion. Quality is out of this world amazing. Just did a weekend trip with it and fits under airplane seat standing up. Pockets and storage well thought out and the zip the fit on my suitcase handle is so handy. Highly recommend."

— Douglas O. (5/5)
