A rugged leather messenger bag for the adventurous at heart, this satchel is just as perfect for carrying 16-inch laptops across the city as it is for stashing the golden idol you just found in that booby-trapped temple.

Designed in partnership with a renowned Indonesian bagmaker, we crafted this messenger with large pieces of leather and as few seams as possible for two reasons: it gives it fewer potential failure points, and it just looks better.

But this bag is much more complex than it looks, featuring:

  • Load-bearing straps that encircle the bag help keep the leather from getting stretched out
  • A closure flap that folds over the corners to protect the interior from rain and dust
  • A strap to slip over the handles of your rolling luggage
  • A magnet inside the luggage strap to keep it flush with the bag when not in use
  • A rear slip pocket for stashing magazines and files
  • An articulated shoulder pad to disperse load and increase comfort when in use
  • Silence: nowhere does metal touch metal, so you’re saved from the constant jangling sounds you get with other bags
  • A padded laptop sleeve with two slip pockets sewn on top
  • A zippered internal pocket
  • A stud closure system that's both surprisingly secure and easy to open and close on the go.

We've wear tested this bag on three continents and counting, and it stays closed whether you’ve checked it for an international flight or slung it over your back for a full day on your feet.

  • Tanned and finished in Wisconsin by Gallun Leathers
  • Hide Origin: Wild boar, full sides of US origin
  • Thickness: 6 ounces
  • Grain: Unique grain and extreme pore pattern

All our leather is made from the hides of invasive wild boar that were trapped or hunted in the south and southwest of the United States. These hides are combination tanned in Tennessee to produce a material that has the ideal balance of density and weather resistance.

We sell three colors of leather and they're made two different ways: Cognac and Black are the full grain "Jabari" version that retains the outer layer of the animal's skin, so it's smooth while also exhibiting the most scarring and character from the animal's life.

The Waxy Boar tannage we use for the Chocolate leather is a little more velvety to the touch because it’s been slightly buffed, exposing more skin fibers. Gallun Leathers uses sandpaper to remove a tiny part of the skin’s outer layer before rolling several layers of wax onto it.

In short: the Chocolate leather is softer, shows a bit less scarring, and actually looks more textured and "worn in" when it's new.

Just for this messenger bag, we licensed and modified the pattern of a good friend and respected bag designer — but since porcine leather is frowned upon in his native Indonesia, he asked that we not credit him too explicitly for his help. This is us trying to give credit without crediting. It's hard!

Wild Boar Leather

All of our products are made from the hides of invasive wild boar trapped in the Southwestern United States and tanned in Tennessee.

Destructive pests that cause some $2.5 billion of agricultural damage every year, the beasts are bad, but the leather is great: the hide’s unusually dense fiber structure and combination tannage make a tough product, water resistant, full of character, and unlike anything you’ve owned before.

About Bad Leather Goods

We obsess over every detail to create understated and timeless designs that balance aesthetics, durability, and function.

Testimonials

The grain is insane. Just like the product photo. Definitely a jaw dropper.

David S.

It's a really cool story, how the pigs are taking over, and we're here to stop them and turn them into leather. It's just a really cool concept, and I love this leather.

Weston Kay, Rose Anvil
Salt Lake City, UT

It seems like tough leather and yet has a glove-like softness. Color is wonderful, lots of depth with light highlights.

Karl D.

I expected the leather to be a little flimsy, but none of it was. The temper is good and surprisingly even; there's a waxy finish, the color is rich — how often do you see online photos that have been digitally enhanced only to be met by disappointment when opening the box?

Not here.

Stephen O'Neil

The quality of the tanned leather is fantastic- much better than I ever imagined.

Brad Simpkins

The leather has a rugged appearance and the most supple, luxurious feel. This is a juxtaposition I was not expecting.

Eric R

The leather is unique, so I expect some good conversations to come from people asking.

William

Love the quality — anything to help decrease the feral swine population. Only wish I could take one down myself!
