A lifetime guarantee, environmentally responsible, head-turning designs and made in the USA. How do they do it?

Looptworks are upcycling champions. Created in 2009 as a reaction to the worst excesses of the fashion industry, they have set out to create a line of apparel and accessories that cuts waste to a minimum. Their mantra is a simple one: "use only what already exists". It just so happens that certain excess materials, otherwise destined for the scrap heap, happen to be some of the most durable leathers, metals and fabrics around.

This satchel style messenger bag is perfect for the day-to-day grind, built to survive anything the world throws at it. Amazingly it's been fashioned using leather seat covers from retired Alaska Airlines aircraft, a new life bestowed on material that still had so much to give.

It serves to create a low profile messenger bag with a minimalist design for carrying the essentials without weighing you down. Inside the bag, a zipper pocket offers secure storage as well as additional slots for keeping your smaller items organized. Each Messenger is hand-made, hand-numbered, and backed by their lifetime warranty. Check out the full specs in the detail below.
