Fairfax Canvas Messenger

Heavy canvas with crazy horse leather trim — the unisex satchel that costs less than the leather range and outlasts most things at twice the price.

The body is a thick cotton canvas, stiff at first and softer with every week. The leather takes the corners, the base and the strap, so the parts that rub are the parts that were built to. It is a simple division of labour and it is why canvas bags of this construction last.

One main compartment under a buckled flap, a zipped pocket behind it, two open slips inside. It takes a 13-inch laptop, a notebook and a lunch.

Why You'll Love It

Canvas is the honest material: it creases where you fold it, fades where the sun hits it, and softens where you carry it. Putting leather only at the corners, the base and the strap is not a cost decision, it is where the wear actually happens. The entry point into the range, and the one people buy twice.
