AT A GLANCE

Billingham has introduced the Icon Messenger Bag, an everyday carry bag that borrows the heritage styling of its much-loved Hadley range and turns it towards commuting, travel and daily essentials.

The Icon is a leisure bag, not a camera bag. There’s no padded insert, so it isn’t a direct alternative to a Hadley Pro or a Small.

Type: Everyday leisure messenger bag
Materials: Three-layer waterproof Canvas or FibreNyte, full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, solid brass fittings
Manufacture: Handcrafted in England
Main pocket: Full-width, fits up to a 14-inch laptop (case recommended) or C4 envelope equivalent documents
Storage: Dedicated internal bottle holder, wide internal zipped pocket, multiple internal slip and mesh pockets
Security and travel: Discreet AirTag compartment, brass key loop, luggage trolley retainer strap
Included: Billingham SP50 Shoulder Pad
