Description
The Lorne in black is the bag for anyone who has to put a laptop on a boardroom table and would rather the bag said nothing at all. A full length zip closes over the whole opening, the panels are unbroken, and the only hardware you see is the zip pull and four brass feet underneath.
You get 41cm of opening and, more usefully, 14cm of depth at the bottom rather than at the belly. The 16 inch machine lives in its sleeve against your back, so the rest of the bag stays usable rather than being half full of laptop. At 22cm of drop it clears a jacket on the shoulder and is tight over a heavy coat.
Buy it if you commute with a machine and want the opening shut while you do it.
The leather
The hide is full grain and aniline dyed, so the colour runs through the leather instead of sitting on it as a pigment film. In daylight it reads as very dark brown rather than pure black, which is the giveaway that nothing was sprayed over it.
How it is made
Every cut edge is sanded and burnished in four passes rather than painted, so it cannot flake off in a strip. No edge paint anywhere on the bag, and no glued handle tabs, which are the two places a cheap tote gives way. Twill lined, with the laptop sleeve running the whole height of the back so the machine cannot slide under everything else. Nothing is pre made, so allow 3 to 5 working days before it ships.

Questions people ask about this bag
Will a 16 inch laptop fit in this bag?
Yes. The opening is 41cm across and the base is 14cm deep, and it sits in the padded sleeve on the back wall. Anything larger than a 16 inch will sit above the top edge.
Does the zip run the full width of the opening?
Yes. It is a two way brass zip that runs the whole 41cm, so you can open it from either end or leave a gap in the middle for a cable.
Will this colour scratch or scuff easily?
It is aniline dyed full grain, so the colour runs through the leather instead of sitting on top as a film. A scratch does not leave a pale line, it buffs back with a thumb or a drop of conditioner.
Can I return it if I have my initials pressed on it?
No. A monogrammed bag cannot be resold, so it is final sale. Unmonogrammed bags can go back for 60 days in unused condition and we pay the return postage inside the US.
What is covered if something breaks?
Stitching and hardware are covered for as long as you own the bag. Send it back and we repair it. Wear on the leather itself, and anything caused by an accident, we repair at cost rather than free.
