Guaranteed for life
Every Wingback is covered by our Lifetime Guarantee and repair service. If a piece ever fails through a fault in its materials or its making, we will repair it or replace it. Fair wear, patina and the marks of use are part of the story, not a fault.
Made in England
This product is made in England. We keep as much as we can close to home, but the priority is always on creating the best product. Where something is better made overseas, it is, and we note it in the details.
Description
Handmade to order by Charles in London. 10 units available only. Delivery in July 2026.
Smart inside and out, this durable 6.5L messenger is designed to keep up with a fast-paced lifestyle whilst looking effortlessly refined. A removable stabiliser strap ensures a secure and stable carry, with an efficient and effective pocket configuration keeping your essentials organised, easily accessible, and always protected, thanks to the weather-resistant magnetically secured flap.

Delivery & returns
Every order ships tracked from our London studio. Complimentary shipping on orders over £250.
International orders are sent delivered duty paid. The price you pay at checkout includes any import duty and tax due in your country, so there is nothing to pay on delivery.
You have 30 days from delivery to return a piece for a refund. Personalised or engraved items are made for you, so they are not returnable unless faulty.
Frequently asked questions
Unpersonalised pieces leave us in 1 to 2 working days; personalised pieces are made to order and leave in 1 to 2 weeks. UK delivery is by DPD and usually adds a day or two. International orders travel by FedEx and arrive 2 to 7 days after dispatch, depending on where you are. Anything that includes a pre-order piece ships together, on the date shown against that piece.
No. International orders are sent delivered duty paid. The price you pay at checkout includes any import duty and tax due in your country, and we settle it with the carrier before the parcel leaves England. Nothing is owed on delivery and there is no paperwork to complete.
Most pieces can be engraved with initials, a name or a short message — add the inscription on this page before you add to cart. Two things change when you do: your piece is made to order, so allow 1 to 2 weeks before dispatch, and because it is made for you it cannot be returned or exchanged.
Yes — you have 30 days from delivery to change your mind, no reason needed. Email hello@wingback.co.uk and send the piece back; you cover the return shipping and we refund your original payment method. The exception is personalised pieces, which are made to your specification and cannot be returned.
Yes. If anything fails through a fault in the materials or the making — whether that is next month or in twenty years — we repair or replace it. Wear, patina and the marks of use are not faults; they are the point. The full terms are on our Guarantee & repairs page.
Our materials are chosen to wear in, not wear out. Brass darkens with handling into a patina unique to you — polish it back to bright whenever you like. Steel and titanium keep their finish with almost no attention, and leather deepens in colour as it is used. This ageing is character rather than damage, and each product page carries specific care notes in the Wear and Care row.
About us
Since 2014 we've been blending technical engineering with traditional craft to create refined tools that are guaranteed to last a lifetime. We design every product ourselves, from a studio in London's iconic Oxo Tower.
The metal is machined in England, the leather hand-stitched in London, and our waxed cotton bags made in England. A few pieces are made overseas, by specialists who do that particular job better than we could here, and where that's the case we say so on the product page rather than leave you guessing.
Wherever a product is made, it's designed here and carries the same guarantee. If something stops working as it should in normal use, we repair or replace it, however long you've owned it.
