The THE SUPERIOR LABOR Engineer Bag Petite is the compact, highly versatile version of the brand's world-famous Engineer Tote. Perfectly sized for your daily essentials or as a dedicated stationery carrier, this bag embodies the "craftsmanship without compromise" that has made The Superior Labor a legend in the analog community.
Handcrafted at nap village in Okayama, Japan, the Petite is constructed from heavy-duty No. 4 Kurashiki canvas, woven on traditional shuttle looms. Like its larger siblings, it features the iconic hand-painted bottom that provides a protective, waterproof barrier and a striking aesthetic. The bag is trimmed with premium vegetable-tanned leather from Japan, which will darken and soften over time to a beautiful, personal patina.
Designed for utility, the Petite includes an external leather pocket for quick-access items and a sturdy solid brass hardware setup. Whether you are using it to carry your TRAVELER’S Notebook, art supplies, or daily "Zakka" treasures, this bag is a lifelong companion built to get better with every journey.
