Care instructions
Always test an offcut or sample prior to working the leather with tools, adhesives or heat. To ensure the leather print on your product is as durable as possible, we’ve worked hard refining our printing process and craftsmanship. As leather is a natural material you may notice small differences in surface and texture, as well as wrinkles, which is common to products made from natural leather. All leathers age naturally according to the usage, and this can cause the print to wrinkle or fade slightly over time. It is possible the base colour may show through the leather as it ages with wear. When not in use we recommend storing your product in a protective dust bag or box to keep your product looking its best. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, sunlight, water, and chemical cleaners to maintain a bright and long-lasting print. Avoid contact with light coloured fabrics or upholstery as the colour may transfer. Whilst a light rain shower is unlikely to harm, we recommend protecting from rain. Should your product get wet, allow to dry naturally away from direct heat. To clean surface wipe only with a damp lint free cotton cloth.

We use a thick and comfortable webbing to make the shoulder strap. This material is sturdy and easy to wear. It can also be adjusted, so you can wear it on your shoulder, or across your body for additional security. Bespoke messenger bags are particularly useful for when you are out and about, as the secure zip pockets and strong metal fixings will provide additional security and peace of mind. With three sizes to choose from, your new bag has a main compartment which is roomy enough to hold your must-have items; phone, keys, a small makeup bag, tablets or e-readers etc. Your designs are printed directly onto the nappa leather, perfect for showcasing prints in style.

How Your Custom Messenger Bags Are Made And Printed
We use the finest materials to create your custom printed messenger bags that you will love to use over and over again. When your design is uploaded, it is printed by our team of technicians onto the smooth Nappa leather. When you design your own messenger bag over time it will get that stunning, distressed look. This charming and timeless aesthetic will give your bag longevity, authenticity and years of wear. Thick webbing material is used to create the strap for your bag, which can be adjusted according to your preference.
The Nappa leather is sourced via Italian tanneries for printing and finishing in our own in-house atelier studio. This work is by hand and to order. As a full grain, bovine-calf leather, it is graded to the highest level for print and manufacturing quality.
Design Tips
Your artwork is printed onto the front of the custom messenger bags. Consider the black leather and appendages when choosing which designs to upload. Design your own messenger bag with delicate and soft prints. Designs with bolder, more vibrant colour schemes will just come alive on the leather. Your print is surrounded by smart black piping, which helps elevate the design and make it leap off of the bag.

Sling it comfortably across your body for security and create a design that will inspire you in your journey. It's the perfect size for your camera, phone and travel journal.
Business

Whether it is a party, a corporate event or something like a concert, there are always essentials that your staff need to have to hand at all times. Walkie talkies, phones, flyers, notebooks etc. Design your own messenger bag with your logo or company name and give one to every staff member, so the essentials are always to hand and they are promoting the business at all times.

Add your logo in the corner of your design, so the wearer can proudly display their new designer find.
Print Guideline
-
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
-
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
-
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results.What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
-
What does GSM mean?
Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
-
What are bleed areas?
When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.
-
Do you print on garments a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better-finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
-
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?
We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
-
Can I print my own Labels?
Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding. If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
-
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.
What are custom messenger bags made from?
This classic leather messenger bag is crafted from beautiful, supple genuine leather. Your design is printed directly onto genuine nappa leather, which produces superior print quality.
Does the messenger bag have pockets?
It does! All three bags have a zipped rear pocket, and the large size messenger bag also benefits from two internal pockets as well - great for keeping those smaller bits in that you don't want to lose at the bottom.
How do I adjust the strap?
The adjustable strap has a sliding clasp on it which will adjust the length of the strap. All three size options come with this adjustable webbing strap so you can wear the bag where it is comfortable. The strap can also be removed.
