Today, the company is building high-end protective cases such as laptop bags for day to day use. Their products have won multiple awards for their top of the line craftsmanship and build quality. Among their latest products is the Brenthaven Collins Messenger Bag.

Built to fit your active and digital lifestyle, the eye-catching Brenthaven Collins Messenger Bag comes with a lot of features designed to make your life easier. So why should you get this bag?

Sleek Design

The bag comes with a snappy grey exterior not to mention a pinstriped interior. Properly stitched, the bag delivers a long lasting and stylish solution to all your carrying needs.

Compartments

For any bag to be called a messenger bag, it should be a shoulder sack and must provide easy accessibility to our items. The Brenthaven Collins takes care of this thanks to its interior compartments. It comes with a padded laptop compartment, enough to fit a 15.6 inch laptop, a large front pocket and a main compartment with padded sides. The padded sides complement the dedicated iPad/tablet slot on the bag.

Aside from that, the front pocket also comes with a small nylon accessory panel for holding up to 4 pens and a card pocket for cards. This makes it easier to access your precious belongings whenever you need them. Finally, the bag also has a side pocket large enough to fit a smartphone.

Full-coverage Flap

Like most messenger bags, Brenthaven Collins comes with a full coverage flap that is held in place by a large Velcro patch. On top of that, a magnet is also used to secure the side leather tab. In turn, this minimizes the rip factor sounds when opening your bag.

The flap also comes with an outside fully zipped pocket great for holding items you want easy access to.

 

Durable Materials

Those worried about durability will be glad to know that the bag is made from PVC-free trim materials with leather touch points which are known to be long lasting and lightweight.

Comfortable Shoulder Strap

To keep your carrying options open, Brenthaven included an adjustable strap and a handle. Even without a padded shoulder cover, the strap is thick enough to allow you to comfortably carry your laptop. When holding the handle, the laptop compartment helps distribute weight evenly so that the bag doesn’t deform under weight.

Lifetime Warranty

To top it off, the bag is under the no-questions-asked Brenthaven warranty that grants you a 100% lifetime guarantee.

Concerns

The Brenthaven Collins Messenger Bag, when packed with a laptop tends to take up too much valuable space inside the bag. This may result in less space for your other belongings. Despite this, the bag can easily accommodate a laptop, two to three textbooks and laptop accessories without taking too much space.
