These great shoulder bags may well be the extra-large laptop bags with a difference that you have been looking for. Comfortable and casual, it will quickly take the shape of your body as the leather softens. Since we added it to our range, it has been hugely popular for carrying larger-sized laptops.
Also consider our extra-large satchels (the SXL+ and SXLP+) in the Satchel category of our eBay store if you require this size.
The
inside of the bag is divided into three separate compartments so it is
easy to organise and find your things. It has two zippered pockets on
the inside and a full leather flap on the outside. The internal lining
is in sturdy green canvas. It has a long, adjustable leather shoulder
strap.
The
leather is strong and durable and yet it is light in weight and will
age beautifully, becoming softer, darker and more flexible over time.
We now offer padding in our medium, large and extra-large satchels, flap bags and messenger bags. For customers purchasing these styles as a laptop bag, this padding will help to protect your computer. While the padding is dense, it is also unobtrusive so it won't substantially reduce the internal space of the bag if you don't intend to use it for a laptop.
Each of our bags is individually made by experienced craftspeople in India using goat leather. Being handmade, each bag is different. There may be variations in the colour and texture of the leather and the leather may be pieced together differently on each bag. They are all beautiful to look at and lovely to hold.
The leather used for these bags is not chemically treated so, initially, it has a distinctive leather smell which fades over the first 4 - 6 weeks of regular use.
Why goat leather?
Largely unknown in Australia, goat hide is an all-purpose leather that combines comfort and softness with durability and strength. Traditionally, it has been used for sturdy work wear, designed to last. It is flexible and water-resistant and does not crack or get hard when wet.
Treatment and Care
We recommend and sell a product called Billy Goat Designs Leather Conditioner which you can use to soften, protect and water-proof your bag and, indeed, all your leather goods including shoes and jackets.
