Discover the Perfect Fusion of Vintage Style and Modern Practicality
Introducing the Mechelen, a premium leather messenger bag designed for those who appreciate a stylish, compact, and practical travel accessory. Inspired by the classic American letter carrier bags, this small leather messenger bag offers a timeless look that will stay with you for years to come.
As with all our leather goods, the Mechelen is handcrafted from full-grain cowhide leather, treated with oil or wax to create a water-resistant finish. This treatment not only makes the leather more durable but allows it to age beautifully over time, developing a rich and distinctive patina. The interior is lined with breathable cotton, ensuring optimal moisture regulation and adding to the bag’s long-lasting quality. These carefully selected materials ensure a bag that stands the test of time while enhancing your vintage style.
Maximum Versatility with a Sleek, Functional Design
The Mechelen is all about simplicity and practicality. With its clean lines and minimalistic design, this leather messenger bag is perfectly adaptable to various occasions. Whether you need a bag for university, work, or to carry your essentials on a weekend getaway or overseas adventure, the Mechelen will meet your needs without compromise.
Its brown color makes it easy to pair with any outfit, and its unisex design ensures it’s perfect for both men and women. The bag’s retro aesthetic appeals to both young students and seasoned travelers alike, making it the ideal companion for any adventure.
A Vintage Heritage that Simplifies Your Travel & Everyday Life
We set out to create a compact yet durable messenger bag that would simplify your daily commute and travels. The Mechelen allows you to move freely and without worry, whether you're heading to work or embarking on an exciting journey. With this reliable, rugged bag, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your belongings are safe and organized.
The bag offers a range of storage options, including exterior slot pockets, a clipped anti-theft pocket on the back, and interior zippered compartments protected by a leather flap.

For comfort, the Mechelen is equipped with an adjustable leather shoulder strap lined with soft cotton to prevent chafing. You can adjust the strap to your preferred length, keeping your hands free while staying comfortable throughout the day.

Care Instructions:
Please note that full-grain leather is a natural material, which may feature small traces, veins, or marks inherent to the leather. These characteristics only add to the bag’s unique appeal. If scratches appear, you can easily buff them out with a cloth lightly coated with vegetable oil. The color of the leather may vary slightly from batch to batch, making each Mechelen one-of-a-kind.
Since oil-treated leather may transfer color to lighter fabrics, we recommend ensuring the leather is dry before use and avoiding contact with light-colored clothing. Any stains or marks that occur can generally be washed out, allowing your bag to continue aging beautifully.
