Details, Details, Details...
Detail of the matching brown strap and attention to
construction detail.
|
Detail of the bottom corner of the Muzetto bag, showing the clean lines
of construction.
|
Showing the two main pockets behind the main flap of the Muzetto vertical
notebook bag.
|
The main pocket is wrapped with the same tough leather
used in the bags construction on three sides. Other than two layers of leather
back to back, there's no padding.
When sitting down for a meeting, it's small
matter to tuck the flap back around for ready access to the
Muzetto's contents.
|
The gold liner allows you to see the contents of your
bag more easily and locate items more quickly.
The only visible Waterfield branding
is tucked away on the inside
of the Muzetto bag, just above the main pocket. There's something to be
said for companies who focus on timeless designs rather than gaudy logo's
plastered everywhere.
|
There's a zippered inner pocket for storing keys, cables,
change or smaller items securely. The zipper is a bit bigger than perhaps
necessary and may rub up against notebooks not protected by a simple
sleeve case.

|
The outer pocket is padded on both sides so
devices like the iPad can be slide in without fear of scratching
the casing.
|
The back side of the Waterfield
Muzetto satchel is made with a slightly thicker hide that is not oiled.
The leather is nicely distressed and semi-smooth so no fuzzy bits of
leather will wear off the wearer. This exemplifies Waterfields' attention
to detail and commitment to functional design - using the right finish on
the back side of the bag provides better wear resistance against clothing
and garments.
|
The bags are designed and sewn in
San Francisco.
|
The shoulder pad is made from leather with a rubberized
grippy shoulder pad
|
The shoulder strap attaches with a single
strip of velcro, makers mark and contact information is discretely hidden on
the underside.
|
When it's time to head out, the Muzetto is an understated
way to carry around your essential electronics, notebooks, paper, whatever. In a world
of ugly nylon computer bags this vertical leather satchel stands out for
its simplicity.
|
Apparently, the idea for a more substantial notebook bag came from a professor who,
as the story goes, had gotten tired of carrying around a heavy
laptop bag throughout the day from each round of meetings. Waterfield's
vertical notebook bag is more convenient to carry around to informal meetings in the office.
