Men's cork shoulder bag "Navigator" – Denim blue & natural cork

Navy blue tinted cork for the flap and body, natural cork for the base, side, and shoulder strap, visible white topstitching: the Navigator adopts the codes of a leather urban messenger bag — without a single gram of leather. The vertical format and magnetic flap give it a structured and masculine look that works equally well with chinos or jeans.

Compact yet organized, the Navigator holds the essentials for a day in the city: phone, wallet, keys, earphones, a small water bottle. No more, no less — it's a bag that rejects clutter.

Organization designed for efficiency

The magnetic flap opens and closes with one hand, without fumbling for a snap button. Under the flap, a zipper secures the main pocket, which itself contains a zipped pocket for small valuables and an open kangaroo pocket for a phone. On the back of the bag, a patch pocket for slipping in a transport ticket or a bill without opening the bag.

Why the Navigator

• The leather look without the leather — the jean-blue tinted cork with white topstitching gives a finish similar to high-end aged leather. Upon touching it, you discover the softness and lightness of cork — it's impossible to guess the material at first glance.
• Light and comfortable — cork weighs a fraction of leather. The adjustable cork and fabric shoulder strap can be worn across the body without weighing down the shoulder, even at the end of the day.
• Waterproof — no stress in the rain. Cork naturally repels water, without spray or treatment.
• 100% vegan — natural cork from Portugal, textile lining, metal fastenings. No animal materials.
• Double security — the magnetic flap for quick access + the zipper to secure your belongings in crowds or on public transport.

Frequently asked questions

Can this bag hold a tablet?

Yes, an 8-inch tablet or a small iPad fits in the main compartment. For a standard 10-inch iPad, the dimensions will be too snug.

Is the magnetic closure reliable?

The magnet is strong and keeps the flap securely closed, even when walking fast or cycling. The zipper under the flap adds a second layer of security for public transport or busy places.

Will the blue cork fade?

No. The dye is fixed and resistant to water, friction, and perspiration. The blue retains its intensity over time and may develop a slight patina, which enhances its aged leather look.

Is this bag unisex or only for men?

The Navigator is designed with proportions and style intended for men, but its compact size and urban look also appeal to women who prefer clean lines over fancy bags.

How to care for the Navigator?

A damp cloth with a little neutral soap is sufficient for the exterior. The textile lining can be cleaned in the same way. Air dry.
