"Wonderful quality and great functionality in a tote bag that works well for day to day use ... pockets were well thought out ... can carry all the important information that I need. Would also be a great travel bag. Great tote for men and women ... highly recommend." - Lacy H., Heritage Waxed Canvas Commuter Tote customer
Customer service is as stated, MYTHICAL. Made inquiries through text chat to expedite delivery of a birthday gift & Lori made it happen! The honesty at this company & the respect for the customer is real at Mission Mercantile. Thank you! - Catherine Y.
This is far & away the best I've ever owned. The combination of quality, style & function are unmatched. Bottom line: This is an heirloom quality piece that is punching wayyyy above its price. I've had much more expensive bags that aren't half as good as this one. If you're on the fence, get it. - Derrick M.

WHAT IS ‘TRADITIONAL RETAIL’ PRICE?
When we feature a ‘traditional retail’ price on our product pages, it represents the estimated price that other retailers charge for a similar-quality product that typically aren't made in their own shop.
Every Mission Mercantile product is handcrafted in our own shop, and our ‘traditional retail’ price is not reflective of our own pricing, but rather the price you should expect to pay for brands of similar quality to Mission Mercantile.
We research prices across the industry to ensure these 'traditional retail' prices represent realistic competitor pricing, but we encourage our customers to conduct their own individual research.
I've been carrying messenger style bags since I was in college in the late 90s and have had many of varying quality. This is far and away the best I've ever owned. The combination of quality, style and function are unmatched. I have used this bag daily for 2.5 years and it looks better today than it did when my wife gave it to me. The patina of the veg tanned leather(I figure it must be veg tanned leather because chromium tanned does not age this beautifully) gets darker and honeyed as time goes on. The waxed canvas keeps it reasonably waterproof and cleans easily. I have not had to rewax yet and don't see that being an issue for a few years.
Bottom line: This is an heirloom quality piece that is punching wayyyy above its price. I've had much more expensive bags that aren't half as good as this one. If you're on the fence, get it.
Hey Derrick, thanks a million! YOU are why we craft!

Excellent quality
Very nice tote, exactly what I expected and was looking for.
L
Lowell L. (Annapolis, US)
Commuter Tote
Looks great feels substantial. Real leather. Very happy with it. Unfortunately we live in the USA and I wish it was made of Kevlar.
M
MYRA B. (Logan, US)
I love this tote! Perfect!
I have nothing but praise for this tote. It is beautiful inside and outside, with such attention to detail. The highest craftsmanship is on display here. One of the reviews I read said it's a bit heavy, but I haven't found it so. I have an old waxed canvas tote bag by another maker, which is much heavier.
This is a classic that will last a life time.

Suki D. (Los Angeles, US)
Nice bag!
Not my first product purchased and as before the bag is beautifully made.
