I’m fairly certain, having just received this bag, that this is the last carry on bag I will need to purchase. Amazing build quality. Spacious with enough internal storage to keep small items organized. This fills a large gap in my travel luggage.
Amazing quality bag! I love the color, texture of the leather, size and interior organization. It is equally appropriate in a boardroom or the bed of a pickup truck. No doubt it will last a lifetime.
The perfect, little leather pouch for tech accessories or just odds and ends.
The espresso/pebbled leather combination is coolly understated and screams durability.
The double leather ends might be the best part. Looking forward to years of use.
Top notch design and construction.
Prompt and consistent customer service.
That old adage, “they just don’t make them like they use to”. Well, Mission Mercantile is an exception. This bag is exceptionally well built from the canvas to the stitching to the zippers. I have now purchased three luggage items, two backpacks and several miscellaneous items from them and they are all better than advertised and far better than what you can buy in even high end stores. I strongly believe in legacy and passing things on. All of these items will be used by my children and grand children for generations to come.
Perfect size for those of us that love a larger handbag to carry all of our things. Beautifully made. Told my husband it will outlive me -- as all quality leather bags should!
I bought my husband this duffle in 2020 and I got myself one this year. Over the years we also purchased multiple other bags. It’s great to know we’ll be able to use these products, properly cared for, for life. I haven’t flown with mine yet, but my husband confirms he’s never had issues using his as a carry on.
We ordered over 30 wax cooler bags as gifts for referring dentist in our town. This company is top notch when it comes to customer service and their products! We are extremely happy and will definitely shop here again in the future.
I have been searching for a bag that is both properly sized and aesthetically appropriate for a mid-career digital professional to use as an everyday carry solution. My objective was to accommodate a typical technology-oriented ensemble—laptop, tablet, headphones, hydration vessel, and other essentials—without compromise or risk to the delicate electronic components. The search has reached its end.
If you seek adventure and wish you were spelunking in the 1930’s instead of riding the elevator to your desk job then this is the bag for you. The feel, the style, this bag has it and you’ll know it the minute you get your hands on one. Rugged? Two days in trying to exit to the 10th floor while the utility cart guy was just riding along, blunt force trauma to the front of the bag, unscathed!
This bag can easily carry a MBP, iPad, headphones, water bottle, lunch, mints, cords/chargers, light windbreaker and keep it tucked in, tight and protected. There is an inside compartment for smaller items such as keys or cards or something thin-ish. Also, rumor is that these are the same zippers used to maintain tectonic equilibrium around the globe.
In short - the tactile experience is wonderful, the look is great, the utility is unparalleled. Amazing build quality and great overall daily experience. 10/10 would recommend.
The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding. I bought one as a gift and one for myself. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thanks!
Keeps everything organized!
Perfect sleeve to match the Theodore Collection.
This was a Christmas gift to myself to replace my old canvas weekend bag that had a million miles on it. You could fit about 4-5 days of clothing fairly comfortably. The only thing is - this bag gets heavy! The full grain leather naturally has its own weight to it. If this bag is full, the weight may be an issue for smaller folks. If you weigh 200 lbs + like I do, the weight won't be an issue as it has a handle and shoulder strap.
This has been my daily bag for over 2 years and I get compliments on a regular basis. People somehow instinctively know quality when they see it and immediately have questions. With regular leather care, this bag will last a lifetime!
Of course the full grain leather on this toiletry bag is top notch, but the SIZE was a very welcomed surprised. I've added a photo of a standard travel / toiletry bag for reference. If you unbuckle the side snaps, this bag unfolds to a large bag.
The leather is unlike any other I've purchased in the past. Full grain, high quality. This thing is going to be my go-to bag for decades to come, that's how good this thing is!
Serious upgrade for the lowly composition notebook - so glad I did this!
My husband received this cooler as a gift a few years back and has used it SO much. Great size and quality! The zipper came unsewn from the cooler after about 4 years of use and we reached out customer service. They happily repaired the cooler and we just got it back. SO IMPRESSED! It was like a new gift for my husband. He's now ready for hunting season and so is Mac! Thanks MM.
The craftsmanship is amazing and beautiful.It’s magnificent. I’ve owned several bags but nothing this amazing. When I think how something can put a smile on my face it’s a beautiful feeling and a wonderful gift from God. I will continue to purchase leather items from this amazing company. Extraordinary..
Thank you so very kindly!
As a former hobbyist leather crafter I must applaud both the craftsmanship and your honesty in your info.
My Koozie is gorgeous and so soothing to hold.
The generous and well-crafted leather on this bag filled the room with leather-scent as soon as I opened the package. It absolutely has the appearance of distressed, leather or suede as I had hoped. All of the true features of a much more expensive bag. not to mention that it looks great with my vintage Diesel knapsack. Stylin’ !!!
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!

Something I’ve been looking, good quality workmanship.
The Campaign Koozie is well made and a great looking conversation piece at the party. It is also the perfect way to remember where you sat your beer when you get called into action; grilling cornhole game or tossing a football. It is also a great gift for special friends and drinking buddies. It doesn’t fit every size/shape of bottle…but it fit my favorite……Yuengling Lager!
Thanks so much John! We love that it helps you locate your beer quickly when called into action!
