San Francisco, California – WaterField Designs, an innovative leader in custom laptop sleeves, bags and cases for digital-minded professionals, announces the Rough Rider leather messenger bag, a throwback to the past with distinctly modern functionality. Every detail of the Rough Rider is engineered with precision. The ingenious strap system compresses bag contents to maintain a slim, neat profile and it positions the bag snuggly against the body to help ease back fatigue. Rough leather edges combine with clean lines for a look that will appeal to professionals, cafe regulars and travelers alike.
As the name implies, the Rough Rider is constructed of rugged, naturally-tanned leather that develops a stunning patina over time. The unlined interior and natural edges reveal the leather’s fine quality. A splash of colorful nylon under the flap (in six color choices) allows for customization.
The laptop bag main compartment can house a 13-inch laptop or tablet, along with files, chargers, and other necessities. Pocket-lovers will find two deep, waxed canvas pockets in the main compartment and two additional scratch-free, lined pockets under the flap – perfect for keeping an iPad mini and smartphone safe. The flap snaps securely shut with two options to adjust based on the bulk of what is inside. A removable no-slip shoulder pad keeps the adjustable strap in place. A leather handle sits conveniently at the top for a quick grab.
“I like the timeless, Old West look of the Rough Rider – it’s tough and rustic with raw edges,” shared owner Gary Waterfield. “Most of the Rough Rider is sewn on a 1940’s machine that can sew a penny through a piece of wood – not that we do that – but the thread we use is sturdy as hell, and adds beautiful detail to the inside and outside of the bag.”
