WaterField Designs Muzetto Outback Bag for Laptops And the New Apple iPad

WaterField Design’s Muzetto Outback is offered as a waxed canvas version of its Muzetto line of cases. The Outback is available in dark brown canvas that gains character over time, a choice of six accent colors and five sizes – two designed specifically for the new Apple iPad. The Muzetto Outback began shipping on March 26, and like all WaterField Designs bags is made entirely in San Francisco.

Originally used for waterproofing sailing garments and popularized by mariners, gamekeepers, and outdoorsmen, waxed canvas is a naturally durable, time-tested fabric that brings a rugged and weathered look to the new Muzetto Outback. The bag is sewn in small batches to take full advantage of the material’s unique characteristics; working the fabric during production brings out its distressed quality, making it an ideal match for the style-conscious, urban adventurer.

“What appeals to me about waxed canvas is the old world, retro look,” explains Gary Waterfield, company founder. “It ages like leather, and each bag develops its own unique character. I like to think it’s something a modern Indiana Jones would use for his new iPad tablet. Plus, scratches and marks can be softened by applying some heat from a hair dryer, giving it that handsome, well-worn look.”

The Muzetto Outback is a vertical messenger bag with one main compartment to hold the iPad or laptop, a back pocket for easy-to-retrieve paperwork, a pocket under the flap, a zippered interior pocket for stashing cash, and an adjustable strap. A Waterfield signature gold liner lights up the interior making it easy to see contents. To reduce shoulder and back fatigue, a removable shoulder pad with a gripping underside keeps the strap firmly in place. The bag’s flap length and angled sides add to a svelte look. The Outback’s urban rustic style complements anything from casual work outfits to well-worn hiking boots.

Personalization options include six accent color choices and five sizes: the Personal Size for daily necessities including a wallet, cell-phone, digital camera, and a naked iPad or an iPad in a minimalist case; the 10-inch Portable Size for the iPad within a protective case; the 11-inch for the 11.6-inch MacBook Air, the Laptop Size for up to a 13-inch MacBook and the 15-inch for the 15-inch MacBook Pro or similarly sized laptops – naked or within a SleeveCase. All size options are small enough to provide unrestricted motion yet large enough to stow essentials and digital gear.
