2 Type of leather used: Always look up to the quality of the leather being used in the bag. Like if you buy a leather jacket or shoes you look their quality. You are buying a leather messenger bag, so it’s important it is made up of top or full grain leather. It will look awesome even after years of use. The authentic leathers form a good looking patina - a weathered, lustrous look that a material acquires through aging. You need to stay away from the leather messenger bags made up from the bonded leather i.e. synthetic. They are made from plastics and man-made materials. Always go for genuine leather which is made from animal products. You can find the leather is genuine or not if it contains pebbles or pores in it i.e. there is a lot of imperfections in it. Let me explain the real leather is coming from the animal skin and the skin of an animal is not perfect, or even. If it contains such imperfections then it is real leather. Also, you can find it through its natural smell and not chemical or plastic smell.
3 Tanning Process: Tanning is the procedure of treating skins of animals to produce leather. There are two types of the major tanning process and you should know the differences between them before selecting a leather bag for you: chrome tanning and vegetable tanning. As per the name, Chrome tanning procedure contains chromium and other harsh chemicals. Chrome tanning gets completed in a few days that’s why their products are quite cheap. 90% of the leather market is captured by the products of chrome tanning process. Secondly, there is a vegetable tanning. Vegetable refers to natural things which are used in the process like tree bark. Since it is a natural process, it’s eco-friendly. Vegetable tanning process produces thick and stiff leather than the chrome tanning process, as the complete process is longer. That’s why it is good to go with the products of the vegetable tanning process. Here is one company which uses only vegetable tanning process in their leather messenger bags and that is Cuero Bags(link).
4 Long lasting leathers & Handwork: The best messenger bags come from the long-lasting leathers. Two crucial things play an important role here. First is a meticulous selection of leather and second is accurate stitching. When we say about the ideal bag, it should not be weakened if there is a weight in the bag. So, it’s important that it should be made from the long-lasting leathers which is full grain leather and top grain leather. Then for handwork, we need to find the stitching is done properly or not. So there should be no loose threads. It should be hardly detectable and straight. We save data in cookies, by using our services, you approve it. Read more

You may have your favorite color. But if you want to look classy and professional, black or dark brown or tan color is good to go.
These colors will go along well with any type of clothes. It is always recommended not to buy bags with more than two colors.
Single color is always the best.
