AB 131 Messenger Bag Natural
AB 131 Messenger Bag Natural
We wanted to create a bag that is very light – yet meets all the demands of everyday life. It is often described as an all-rounder. With its particularly thin, supple leather and universal size, it sits comfortably and close to the body. To achieve this, we reduced the thickness of our leather from its original 1.6 mm to 0.9 mm – a fine handcrafted process in which delicate layers are shaved from the underside. This allowed us to reduce the weight to just 253 g.
The folded, open flap allows quick access while also adapting to larger formats – offering maximum flexibility. On the back, a zippered compartment provides secure space for valuables. One detail I particularly appreciate: the two shoulder straps. The shorter strap lets you carry the bag close under the arm, with the arm naturally covering the main compartment. The longer strap turns it into a crossbody bag, while the shorter strap rests casually across the bag.
So perhaps, after all: an all-rounder. Yours, Philipp Bree

MATERIALS WE USE
We emphasize the use of high-quality materials, which we source from selected, experienced European manufacturers. What all the materials we use have in common is that they become even more beautiful over time, gain in character, and are awarded the highest certifications in their industry.
MANUFACTURER WE VALUE
We are working with small manufacturers in Poland, Czech Republic and Germany. All of them are family businesses. What they have in common is their love for craftsmanship and their enthusiasm for creating something long-lasting.
DESIGNERS WE INVITE
Several designers are responsible for the interpretation of the PB 0110 brand philosophy and development.
Having grown up surrounded by bags, accessories, and furniture, I founded PB 0110 in 2012 inspired by the idea that people form connections with the products they use – that these objects influence our surroundings and that our way of consuming can evolve. I create products that are crafted to last in both quality and design, to accompany you through life, and perhaps become one of your favourite objects.
