12 L, tidy: an interior compartment with a laptop compartment, a zip pocket, a slip pocket and a cell phone pocket. Enough for the essentials of a day out or a short trip. If you carry more than that daily, the MANOA leather messenger bag is the bigger cut of the same family.
Do you carry it by hand or on the shoulder?+
Both. The shoulder strap is adjustable and removable, so the Atakama switches from handbag to shoulder bag in a few seconds, whichever way the day is going.
What shade is the tan exactly?+
A warm tan, on full grain cow leather. The colour can vary slightly from one batch to the next, and it deepens where your hands work it: the leather patinas instead of staying frozen. The bag you buy is the lightest it will ever be in colour.
Is the leather waterproof?+
The material is water-resistant, not waterproof. It can withstand light rain and splashes, but avoid heavy or prolonged rain and immersion. Protect electronics separately, wipe off moisture and let the bag dry naturally away from direct heat.
Is it a men's or a women's bag?+
It is unisex. The clean lines and the tan leather read as classic rather than gendered, and the adjustable strap sets the drop for any frame.
Who is the Atakama not for?+
The hasp closure asks for a beat more attention than a zip, and at 1.8 kg the full-grain leather has real presence on the shoulder. If you want a featherweight, quick-zip everyday bag, the Sandqvist Everyday Messenger is the modern answer. The Atakama is the one that ages with you.
