Maxwell Top-Zip Waxed Canvas 16″ Laptop Messenger Bag

Stay organized at work and on the go with the Maxwell Top-Zip Waxed Canvas & Leather Messenger Bag. Designed for commuting, office use, business travel, and everyday carry, this spacious messenger combines rugged waxed canvas with full-grain pull-up buffalo leather trim for a distinctive professional look.

Unlike traditional flap-style messenger bags, the Maxwell features a full top-zip main compartment to help keep your laptop, documents, and everyday essentials securely inside while you're commuting or traveling.

The dedicated padded laptop pocket was fit tested with our 16″ Lenovo laptop, while multiple interior and exterior pockets provide organized storage for chargers, documents, your phone, wallet, travel documents, and other daily essentials.

Secure Top-Zip Design

The full-length zipper across the main compartment is one of this messenger bag's most useful features. It helps keep your laptop, documents, and smaller belongings contained when you're commuting, traveling through an airport, or carrying the bag throughout a busy workday.

The top zipper also makes the Maxwell a practical alternative for shoppers who like the classic look of a messenger bag but prefer more secure access than a traditional flap-only design.

Laptop & Everyday Organization

A dedicated padded laptop pocket provides separate storage for your computer. We successfully tested it with our 16″ Lenovo laptop, and the bag is designed to accommodate most laptops up to 16″ depending on their physical dimensions.

Inside you'll also find:

• 1 zippered pocket
• 3 slip pockets
• Space for documents and folders
• Room for chargers, cables and work accessories

Two front pockets keep frequently used essentials within easy reach, while the large rear slip pocket provides additional storage.

Laptop dimensions vary by manufacturer and model. Please compare your laptop's physical dimensions with the bag dimensions before ordering.

Made for Work & Travel

The Maxwell is equally useful for the daily commute and business trips. A built-in trolley sleeve allows the messenger bag to slide over the handle of compatible rolling luggage for easier airport travel.

Carry it by the leather top handles or attach the adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or crossbody carry.

It's a versatile choice for:

Office · Commuting · Laptop Carry · Meetings · Business Travel · Everyday Carry

Waxed Canvas & Full-Grain Leather

The durable waxed canvas body provides everyday water resistance while keeping the bag more flexible than a traditional all-leather briefcase.

Full-grain pull-up buffalo leather is used for the trim and key details, adding structure and a premium finish. Waxed canvas naturally develops variations and character with regular use.

Please note: Waxed canvas is water-resistant, not waterproof.
