The Macana Bag

Low Profile Pockets

No bulk. Flat when empty.

Stretch Divider

Secures laptop at the back of the bag to make the most of the inside storage.

Drop Pocket

Perfectly sized and placed inside the front panel. A quick place to drop small items without losing them in the bottom of the bag.

Back Pocket

Snap-closure rain cover tucks into back pocket when not in use.

Weatherproof

Exterior made with waterproof leather. Front cover has rain flaps to keep the weather out of your bag.

Strap & Tab Closure

We created a new style of closure for the Macana bag that we think you'll love. It's comprised of a strap and two durable tabs with polymer cores. The tabs lock onto the strap when you want to secure the flap, yet both the strap and the tabs are so low profile you don't even notice them when they're not in use. Flipping the strap around to the back of the bag keeps it out of the way, and gives you a place to tuck in and carry a jacket.

Easy Access

Let the front cover hang free to hide your front pockets but keep everything easily accessible.

Lock it down

Tuck the strap behind the tabs and tighten it to secure the entire bag.

Ecuadorian Latigo Leather

We’re big fans of promoting quality of life for animals throughout the supply chain so we source our leather from a place where virtually all cattle are free-range, grass-fed, and factory farms are nearly impossible to find.

We worked directly with the tannery to craft the perfect leather for our products. They use a hybrid between top-grain and full-grain processing, removing just enough material to improve the look while retaining durability we can guarantee for life. Then they top that off with a hydrophobic treatment so you don't have to worry about a little rain or the occasional spill.

From there the tannery finishes our leather two ways. The browns are a matte finish, designed to show marks and age very easily, quickly developing a classic aged-leather patina. However, they can easily be cleaned and conditioned to buff out the wear marks. The idea here is that you can dial in how much age/character you want your piece to show based on how often you condition it - just like folks used to shine their shoes (or maybe you still do!).

The black is a pebbled finish, we've found that folks who choose black leather often prefer less of a “rustic character" look, so this one won't show wear as quickly as our browns and has a classic, polished appearance.

Tex 70 Nylon Stitching

Nylon thread has an excellent strength-to-size ratio, some stretch and flex capability, and high resistance to abrasion. These qualities make it ideal for leather goods with a lifetime guarantee. The thread can move and stretch with the leather while retaining its durability.

Top Notch Hardware

It's all in the details. Hardware is a common failure point, and failure is not really our thing. So we overbuild the hardware and cut no corners. We also keep our hardware in line with our minimalist geometric design approach.

Comfort Cotton Webbing

We think our webbing will be the most comfortable you've used, especially after it breaks in. Its thickness adds durability and ensures that weight is distributed evenly, making it the perfect shoulder strap.

YKK Zippers

There is only one name in the zipper game if you are serious about quality: YKK. And we're proud to use their products in ours.
