Blackfriars, your questions answered

Is the Blackfriars a good bag for work?

Yes. The Blackfriars M is designed as a practical everyday work and commuter bag, with a secure laptop compartment and multiple pockets for keeping your work essentials organised. Its refined messenger-bag shape transitions easily from the office to after-work plans.

What can you fit inside the Blackfriars?

With a 4.2-litre capacity, the Blackfriars M is designed for your streamlined everyday essentials. It provides dedicated space for a laptop alongside smaller items such as your phone, wallet, keys, charger and other work or travel necessities.

How many pockets does the Blackfriars have?

The Blackfriars M features three exterior utility pockets and a large zipped pocket on the back, alongside its main storage and laptop compartment. This makes it easy to organise smaller essentials and keep frequently used items within reach.

Is the Blackfriars M waterproof?

The Blackfriars M is weather-resistant rather than fully waterproof. It's made from triple-coated recycled nylon, helping protect your belongings from light rain, splashes and everyday changing weather.

What is the difference between a messenger bag and a backpack?

A messenger bag is typically carried by hand or using a single shoulder or crossbody strap, making belongings easy to access without removing the bag completely. The Blackfriars M combines this classic messenger-bag functionality with laptop storage and multiple organisational pockets, making it a useful alternative to a work backpack.
