I've got an AMAZING John Varvatos messenger bag for sale. Note that this is Varvatos Mainline, not any of the diffusion lines. It's made of a buttery soft black leather, with a grey cotton canvas interior. It's a simple, minimalist bag - 1 main compartment, with a zippered side pocket.

This bag has some amazing details - the softest leather I've ever had in a bag, Lampo zips, and a minimalist aesthetic. I've been stopped several times and asked what kind of bag it is. Only selling because my Filson gets more use.

I used this bag for approximately 1.5-2 years. As with any bag that sees regular use, there are some wear spots worth noting: there are some tears in the bottom corner of the lining and a little wear on the leather from my macbook - the unibodies are ruthless on fabrics. There is also a small white smudge about 1" long near the bottom of the bag - all the flaws are purely cosmetic, and are barely noticable (save for lining wear). They can also all be repaired at a modest cost.

This bag retailed for something like $600 or $700, if not more than that. I'm asking $120 shipped. A steal for a bag of this quality.

Thanks for looking!
