San Francisco manufacturer, Waterfield Designs, introduces the Vitesse Vertical Musette, a simple, compact vertical messenger bag with a head-turning vintage look. The Vertical Musette follows the Vitesse Backpack and Sling in WaterField's weekly August additions to its Vitesse Collection of classic waxed canvas bags with a modern twist.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- San Francisco-based WaterField Designs announces the Vitesse Vertical Musette, the third of four additions this month to its Vitesse Collection of classic waxed canvas bags with a modern twist. The new, American-made, vertical messenger bag combines a straightforward design with heritage materials and modern metal hardware, giving it a worldly look — as if the bag has stories to tell. The handsome musette keeps personal necessities easy to access for a day around town and pairs as effortlessly with jeans and a t-shirt as a dressy blazer.
"The Vitesse Vertical Musette is a vertical version of our popular Vitesse Cycling Musette. I love its simple design and distinctive, easy-to-use paragliding-style buckle," said company owner Gary Waterfield. "The vertical orientation ensures balanced weight distribution, and I can adjust the shoulder strap to wear over my shoulder or crossbody."
The bag's unlined, thick waxed canvas highlights the beauty of this traditional textile that has endured through the ages. Lightweight, water-resistant, and exceptionally durable, the new musette is built to last decades.
Features:
- Made-in-USA, 15-oz, water-resistant waxed canvas from a reputable mill that has produced the textile since 1930.
- Vertically oriented spacious main compartment holds up to a 14-inch MacBook Pro in a WaterField Neo Sleeve (sold separately) and/or daily necessities.
- Two elevated organizational pockets keep smaller items conveniently positioned near the top of the bag.
- Metal paragliding-inspired buckle secures a thick front flap and operates easily with one hand.
- Angled shoulder strap keeps bag flush when worn crossbody and adjusts easily with a tri-glide buckle.
- Leather handle facilitates a quick grab or hangs on a hook.
The Vitesse Collection presents quintessential American craftsmanship at its finest. The cotton-based canvas is treated with food- and pharmaceutical-grade wax to create lifelong resistance to inclement weather while remaining breathable. The bag's classic lines and materials age beautifully and shift easily from professional to casual settings. All WaterField bags are handcrafted to meticulous standards in the company's San Francisco sewing studio.
The Vitesse Vertical Musette joins WaterField's Vitesse Musette, Musette Plus, Messenger, Briefcase, Backpack, and Sling. Each week this month, WaterField has introduced a new bag style to the Vitesse Collection starting with the Vitesse Backpack and Vitesse Sling; a new Vitesse Duffel will follow next week.
