Description
Navy canvas and chocolate leather at this size is the Ellis we send out as a gift more than any other. From a pace away it is one dark colour, and only close up do the two materials separate into canvas and leather.
It opens at 30cm and is 12cm deep where it matters, at the base rather than at the widest point. A 13 inch laptop fits, but it is really the bag for a market, a beach or a car boot, because empty it packs down flat. Handle drop is 22cm, which clears a jacket on the shoulder and is tight over a heavy coat.
This is the one to buy if you want something you are not precious about.
The canvas and the leather
The body is 18oz waxed cotton in navy, with chocolate full grain leather at the handles, corner caps and base panel. Chocolate against navy is a narrow contrast to begin with, and it narrows further as the leather deepens.
How it is made
No edge paint anywhere on the bag, and no glued handle tabs, which are the two places a cheap tote gives way. Every cut edge is sanded and burnished in four passes rather than painted, so it cannot flake off in a strip. Lined in heavy cotton twill with a zip pocket on the back wall and two open pockets facing it. Built to order, out of the workshop in 3 to 5 working days, plus a day if you want initials on it.

Questions people ask about this bag
Will a 13 inch laptop fit in this bag?
Yes. The opening is 30cm across and the base is 12cm deep, and a machine that size lies flat against the back panel. Anything larger than a 13 inch will sit above the top edge.
How do I clean and re wax the canvas?
Brush off dry dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth and cold water only, never detergent and never a machine. Re wax with an ordinary wax bar once every year or two. We will also re wax it here free in the first two years if you cover the postage.
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.
Is the monogram really free?
Yes, on every bag, including this one. Three letters in gold foil, silver foil or a blind press with no colour. It adds about a day before dispatch and we email you a proof of the placement first.
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.
