Laptop Fit

We physically tested the Maxwell Classic with our 16″ Lenovo laptop measuring approximately 14″ W × 9¾″ H × ⅝″ D, and the laptop fits inside the bag.

Laptop screen size does not tell you the complete physical size of a device, so we recommend comparing your laptop's actual width, height, and thickness with the bag dimensions before ordering.

Waxed Canvas & Full-Grain Leather

The Maxwell Classic combines rugged waxed canvas with full-grain leather trim for a balance of durability, flexibility, and timeless style.

Waxed canvas provides everyday water resistance and naturally develops variations and character with use. The full-grain leather details add reinforcement and a more refined finish.

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

Made for Work, School & Travel

The Maxwell Classic works well for a variety of everyday situations. Carry it to the office, class, meetings, while commuting, or during travel when you need room for your laptop and other daily essentials.

The adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry throughout the day, while the traditional messenger profile works equally well in professional and casual settings.

Ideal For: Work · Commuting · School · Laptop Carry · Travel · Everyday Use
