Building an 11-inch structured messenger that weighs only 500 grams requires a master who understands the delicate balance between strength and weight. Pradeep, our expert in architectural leathercraft, hand-builds every Jodhpur Messenger.
Commanding in presence yet astonishingly light on the shoulder, The Jodhpur Messenger is a masterclass in purposeful design. Inspired by the heritage of royal dispatch riders and the timeless architecture of the Blue City, it bridges the gap between a classic briefcase and an effortless daily crossbody.
A clean, minimal silhouette — no front pocket, nothing to interrupt the line of the leather — secured with a hand-set antique-brass ox twist-lock and finished with a steadfast top carry handle. Choose your size — 11" for a tablet, journal and daily essentials, or 13" for a laptop — finished with our sun-tanned certified real leather and an adjustable all-leather crossbody strap.
Certified Real Leather, tested by the Hohenstein Institute, Germany.

How your bag is made
The hides are tanned with babul bark, then worked and laid out to cure by hand. It is the slow way, and the reason the leather softens with age instead of cracking.
