Carry the essentials and nothing else. The Roosevelt Satchel Messenger Bag in Amber Brown is a clean, structured leather satchel built from full-grain water buffalo leather, the same thick, rugged hide used across the Roosevelt collection. It holds a 15-inch laptop in a padded sleeve, keeps your daily carry organized across multiple pockets, and gets better looking with every day of use.
The interior is lined in brown waxed canvas, easy to wipe clean and resistant to snags and stains. Antique brass and iron hardware throughout, YKK zippers, with an adjustable 2-inch canvas padded strap.
Amber brown is the warmer, lighter tone in the Roosevelt lineup. It patinas faster and more visibly than dark oak, lightening at the corners and the strap attachment with use. The choice for the man who wants his leather to show its character quickly.

Review topics: [].
"Quality exceeded expectations and it will surely last a long time. The canvas liner and additional interior leather features were unexpected. The only knock is the weight. The heavy duty leather and slightly larger size gives the bag some serious weight which may not be ideal if you are walking a ton in a city."
"This is my second messenger bag as I wore out the first one. The Buffalo Leather bag is just as classy and looks equally durable. These bags last years."
"Love the size, the numerous pockets and poaches. Loads of space for all your sh@te :) One very minor gripe, wish it water tight/resistant."
"I bought this bag as a reward to myself for achieving a goal I had. Love this bag. You can see and feel the craftsmanship and quality in it. Also, love the mission this company has. Love supporting companies like this one! Thank you for what y’all are doing!"
"This was an investment, but the bag is substantial and roomy. Photos are completely accurate, and the leather smells wonderful. I am a sizable person, so this fits me fine, but if you are smaller, you might want to choose something smaller it's pretty big and a little heavy. Overall, absolutely terrific!"
"This leather bag is excellent quality, and I know it will last for years. The padded laptop pocket is great, and there is more than enough room for other items."
"Very impressive style and quality. The items I purchased will definitely last my lifetime and more. Thank you."
"Really nice leather. Build quality seems top notch."
"Love the bag and the leather. Nice inside pockets and dividers. Secret flap zipper pocket is nice. Nice strap too. Very wide and holds more than 2 binders. The drawback are the sides are wide but very firm. Pic shows flexibility but not the case. Hopefully it will get broken in."
"I bought one of these about a decade ago in a lighter color. It’s been dropped, hit, scratched, thrown, you name it. It’s taken a beating from sun and rain too, but it hasn’t fazed it a bit. If anything it gets better with age. Stitching a zippers are still holding up. Best I can tell, this bag will last for another couple decades."
