Description
Stone canvas with tan leather is the Ellis for anyone who finds olive too outdoorsy. Pale, dry and neutral, it works against white, denim and grey without competing with any of them, and the leather base panel takes the abuse that a pale bag would otherwise show.
You get 42cm of opening and, more usefully, 15cm of depth at the bottom rather than at the belly. Laptop, kit bag and lunch at the same time. At 42cm this is the only bag in the range that takes all three without a fight. At 25cm of drop it is the easiest bag in the range to get onto a shoulder over anything.
Buy it if your commute is on foot and the weight of an all leather tote has put you off before.
The canvas and the leather
Pale stone waxed cotton with tan full grain at every point that touches the ground or your hand. Pale and dry rather than bright, it works against white, denim and grey without competing with any of them.
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. The lining is heavy cotton twill with a zip pocket and two open pockets sized for a phone and a pass. 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 42cm across and the base is 15cm deep, and a machine that size lies flat against the back panel. Anything larger than a 16 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.
Is the canvas waterproof?
Water resistant, not waterproof. The wax sheds rain and light spray, and the leather base keeps the bottom of the bag off wet ground. In sustained heavy rain the canvas will eventually wet through and then dry out with no damage.
How long will it take to reach me?
Every bag is made to order and leaves the workshop in 3 to 5 working days. We ship worldwide with tracking and the checkout shows the arrival window for your country before you pay.
How do I know this is genuinely full grain leather?
Look at the photographs of the surface. Full grain keeps the original grain, including old scars and insect marks, because nothing has been sanded off and sprayed over. If a leather panel is perfectly uniform it has been corrected. Ours are not.
