Wallace Messenger Bag

Embossing location: On luggage tag

Made for the commute, the office, and miles beyond, the Wallace Messenger Bag pairs rugged canvas with full-grain leather in a classic work bag designed for years of use. Handcrafted from industrial-grade 18-ounce cotton canvas and full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, it brings together substantial materials, thoughtful organization, and unmistakable WILL character.

Under the leather flap, two exterior slip pockets keep frequently used essentials close at hand, while a large rear zippered pocket provides additional secure storage. Hidden rain flaps offer added protection when the weather turns.

Inside, WILL’s signature plaid lining surrounds a padded laptop sleeve, roomy zippered pocket, three slip pockets, business card slot, and antique brass key clip, giving everything from technology to smaller work essentials a dedicated place.

A leather-wrapped top handle is reinforced with double box stitching and dual hand-hammered steel rivets for dependable hand carry. For longer commutes or travel, the detachable cotton webbing strap adjusts for shoulder or crossbody wear and includes a removable memory foam pad. A hidden trolley sleeve slides over rolling luggage for easier movement through airports and train stations.

With canvas that softens through use and full-grain leather that develops richer character over time, the Wallace is a canvas and leather messenger bag designed to look increasingly personal with every commute and journey.

Exceptional materials. Uncompromising quality.

At Will Leather Goods, our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship begins with the leather itself. With over 40 years of experience, we've learned that the quality of the hide and the way it's treated make all the difference in how a product looks, feels, and ages.

Full-Grain Leather — The Highest Standard

Full-grain leather is widely regarded as the finest grade of leather available. It preserves the hide's natural outer surface, where the fibers are strongest and most densely woven. Unlike lower grades that are sanded or heavily corrected, full-grain leather retains its natural strength, distinctive grain, and authentic character. The result is exceptionally durable leather that softens, develops a beautiful patina, and becomes more distinctive with age.

Vegetable-Tanned Leather — A Time-Honored Tradition

Vegetable tanning is a centuries-old process that uses natural tannins derived from tree bark and other plant materials to transform raw hides into beautiful, durable leather. This traditional, time-intensive method produces leather celebrated for its rich character, natural feel, and ability to develop a distinctive patina over years of use.

The WILL Difference

We believe extraordinary leather shouldn't simply look beautiful when it's new. It should grow more meaningful with every passing year. That's why we value authentic materials and traditional craftsmanship, creating leather goods intended to be carried for decades and handed down for generations.

Good leather ages. Exceptional leather tells a story.
