Description
A medium tan Marlow ages faster than the large one, for a dull reason: a smaller bag spends more of its life in your hand rather than on your shoulder. Expect the handles and the front corners to move first, and expect it to happen inside the first summer.
The numbers are 35cm across the opening, 27cm tall and 12cm deep at the base. Enough for a 13 inch laptop, a notebook and the usual daily set. Not enough for a laptop plus a change of shoes, which is deliberate. Expect 23cm of handle drop, enough that it clears most coats on the shoulder.
It is the size people buy when the large one felt like luggage, and the one that covers both a desk and a Saturday.
The leather
Bark tanned rather than chrome tanned, which is why this is the one hide in the range that changes in front of you. It starts pale and unfinished, and sunlight, hand oils and ordinary wear pull it toward a deep chestnut over roughly two years.
How it is made
Load bearing seams are saddle stitched by hand, two needles through one hole, so a cut thread stays put instead of running. Brass hardware throughout, unplated, because plating wears through to grey exactly where your hand goes. Cotton twill throughout, with one zipped pocket and two open, and no glue anywhere in the assembly. This one is cut when you order it and leaves in 3 to 5 working days.

Questions people ask about this bag
Will a 13 inch laptop fit in this bag?
Yes. The opening is 35cm 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.
Does the bag hold its shape when it is empty?
Mostly. The base is a single reinforced panel so it stands up, and the sides soften a little over the first months, which is what stops a structured tote looking boxy.
Will the tan leather darken?
Yes, and quickly at the handles. It is vegetable tanned, so sunlight and the oils from your hands take it from honey toward chestnut over about two years. The change is uneven and permanent. If you want it to stay as it arrives, choose chocolate.
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.
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.
