Quality and Durability
The Dionigi leather messenger bags are made from genuine full grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather. Full grain is the top portion of the hide with the vertical fibers and next section where the vertical and horizontal fibers meet; this is the strongest part of the hide.
Vegetable tanning also increases the strength of the leather. Full grain leather will not wear out; it develops a natural ‘Patina’ and grows more beautiful with age. Applying additional oil to the natural oil of the hide, the leather is protected from water soaking. The original grain of the hide is not altered as the grade known as top grain is. Great care is taken in making each one; they are hand crafted to the finest finished presentation.
Style with Functionality
The Dionigi messenger bags are popular with both men and women. To professionals, Italian leather bags are a status symbol.
The rigid structure of each of the brands varies. The Lavoro is semi rigid. If the messenger bag is placed on the floor the bag will stand up rather than fold over and collapse. This is the brand that can be used for carrying a laptop. The leather protects it from minor impact. Buying an additional padded sleeve for your laptop is smart however to protect it against harder knocks.
The bags are easy to access with a magnetized flap. They provided separate compartments and zippered pockets in the front and back to organize and protect your more valuable items. They also have two small interior accessory pockets. The pockets are meant to accommodate your electronic accessories such as a Kindle, credit cards, cell phone, blackberry or gig memory stick.
