Love the thought and design of this bag. I’m a fan of the look of canvas backpacks and appreciate the metal clips for the front flap and folding down the top zipper opening. Enjoying so far!

Great backpack

Enjoy the simplicity, high quality, and almost vintage-like design. Big fan!

Vitesse Backpack

Hi - it was a gift for my nephew and i have not heard from him yet!!

Exceptional quality and durability

The Vitesse backpack is very well made and is rugged, yet simple in design. May have preferred a couple more pockets for an umbrella & water bottle. We will see how well it supports my upcoming business trip to Europe's as the real test.

Waterfield Designs Vitesse backpack review

Gadgeteer - October 15, 2024

“We are in the middle of hurricane season here in the SouthEast US. It has rained almost every day for the entire month. So if you’re taking your gear out, having a water-resistant bag is a must!! This thing worked like a champ!”

THE VITESSE COLLECTION

Our Vitesse bags have an uncomplicated design, making each an ideal lightweight everyday carry. All are handcrafted from premium 15 oz. waxed canvas and feature quality hardware. These bags are built to last.

Vitesse bags highlight the natural beauty of waxed canvas and the enduring appeal of simple, straight-forward design. They are unlined to show off the raw beauty of rugged waxed canvas.

The collection has expanded from messenger bags to include a Backpack, a Crossbody, a small Sling, a Duffel, and a Briefcase. See the Vitesse Collection here.

ELEGANTLY SIMPLE

The minimalist design and open interior of the Vitesse Backpack let you carry whatever you need in this versatile, lightweight pack.

A separate pocket separates a laptop/tablet from other contents. We recommend using a sleeve for added protection. See WaterField Sleeve Collection.

HEAVY-DUTY 15 OZ. WAXED CANVAS

Not all waxed canvas bags are created equal. Lower quality bags use 6 oz. canvas. The majority designated as “durable” use 12 oz. canvas. At 15 oz., our waxed canvas exceeds what is commonly sold in the market, yet it's still lightweight. It has a naturally rugged, distressed look and can be re-waxed to freshen it up.

The canvas comes from a reputable U.S. mill that has produced these fabrics since 1930. This specialized textile is coated with Martexin Original Wax™ and shouldn't require much cleaning. Stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag Vitesse Backpack looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although you can use any wax, you may want to try Martexin Original Wax™ which was initially used to coat your canvas bag.
