The design of this bag hit the sweet spot for me between timelessness and style. I really dig the dark academia aesthetic and appreciate how it's not too micro-trendy. The leather feels truly premium and I see it holding up for many decades. The bag isn't very roomy but it fits my ipad Air perfectly along with my 600ml bottle and other daily essentials. I wear it as a crossbody -- that way it looks unique and chic!

I had been looking for my dream handbag and as soon as I saw this, I knew. The detailing and craftsmanship is so beautiful. The leather is has that hint of “wear” and the size is perfect for carrying everything in one bag. Stoked that it will fit my laptop too. This bag is elegant and classical with that edge of design and architecture that makes for a timeless piece. You can adjust the straps to make it handbag to satchel style. The delivery was seamless too and loved the unveiling with the tote it comes in. Well cared for and love supporting NZ business.

The quality of the leather is amazing! I have received numerous compliments on the bag. I think the bag could be even more elevated looking if the strap was replaced with the one more indicative of the Marcello bag. Great work, Late to Work! I’m coming back for more.

This bag went above and beyond my expectations! I have been in the market for a bag that could fit my laptop and searched high and low for the perfect match. I am very proud to say that this bag is everything I could have wanted— and more :)

Well crafted, thoughtful design, so unique, and amazing quality, I truly believe I will use this bag for a lifetime. How can an item be so trendy and hip and timeless at the same time?! The leather is soft, the zipper runs so smoothly, and the deep brown is perfection. My friend saw it, commented on its beauty and said it had “the perfect amount of slouch”. I couldn’t agree more!

You might be thinking about getting this bag, I did too! It wasn’t an impulse buy for me! But coming from the other side, I can assure you you will be so happy to have landed on this one, I know I am :)

Love the bag it's the perfect size for work but I love how it's unstructured enough to be slouchy when not full for a casual everyday use.

I like that it has internal pockets and the finishing is high quality and the leather is very smooth and soft.

Absolutely beautiful bag, great quality and perfect size I’ve had so many compliments

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BAG!
it literally exceeded all my expectations. It looks like a 5k bag for the fraction of a cost. I would definitely buy a brown one now to add to my collection.

I never review things… but honestly this is the perfect bag, thank you! It’s impossible to find a good looking bag that fits a laptop!!

I love this bag :) I got the brown version and the color goes with everything I have. It fits my 13 inch laptop, charger, Tupperware, it’s the perfect work bag. I’m a bit taller so finding crossbody bags that fit comfortably can be hard, this one really pulled through. Not mention it’s very stylish and the waxed leather feels very durable and of great quality. I got another bag from here after seeing the quality of my first one.

This has been a great purchase, strap is the perfect length for the bag to sit comfortably on your side. Stopped twice in Brooklyn to be asked where it is from. Works perfectly formal or casual. I always cycle socially, and the bag is great for it.

It is very solid on hand. You can feel that it's not made from cheap material. A tad long to my taste.

This has so quickly become one of my favourite rings of all time - constantly getting compliments on it. :)
The band is so softand comfy, and the stone is gorgeous; absolutely to die for.

The size is perfect, the leather is beautiful and, best of all, it actually stays on my shoulder!

I got an ad for the Runaway Bag on instagram and I bought it that very same night. I’ve been searching for a new crossbody bag for a while now and this bag checked all the boxes. Can carry all my journals, books and my iPad and doesn’t look bulky at all. The bag is also really nice quality I love that it can be converted from a crossbody bag to a shoulder bag. 10/10 !

This bag is compact, STURDY and effortlessly fashionable + understated. It's become my go to work bag because it can fit my laptop, gym clothes, water bottle and other items so easily whilst also adding a touch of chic to my corporate look. And at this price point, it's affordable. GET IT.
