real leather that gets better with age

The story behind Worker

Made like the best.
Without paying for a pricey logo.

When we designed Worker, we wanted to bring timeless design and modern function together. Leather that gets better with age, zippers built for everyday use, and a lining that looks after your things.

And we left out everything you don't need. No flashy logos and no extra charge for a big-name brand. Just a bag that's made to last.

Worker features

Thought through, down to the last detail

We spent the money on what you notice every day – not on branding.

TOP GRAIN · LWG GOLD-RATED TANNERY

Leather that evolves with you

Worker is made from top grain leather, cut from the outermost and strongest part of the hide. It stands up to years of daily use and gains more character the more you carry it.

The leather comes from a tannery rated Gold by the Leather Working Group – the highest rating for environmental and responsible production.

Zippers that just work

The zipper is usually the first thing to fail on a bag. Our SBS zippers run smoothly and are built for years of daily use – even when the bag is packed to the brim.

Looks after your things

The soft lining protects your laptop and everything else you carry – and is tough enough for everyday use, year after year.

5 years

A warranty that lasts

Your Worker comes with a 5-year warranty on function and quality – that's how much we believe in it.

Inside

8 pockets. A place for everything.

01 · Two outer zip pockets

For your phone, keys and anything you need to grab quickly.

Room for a portfolio, headphones and other larger items.

Extra padding keeps your laptop protected on the way to and from work.

On the opposite side of the main compartment – for documents and papers.

For chargers, your wallet and the small things that otherwise sink to the bottom.

So your pen is always there when you need it.

A dedicated spot for your earbuds.

Honest quality

You don't pay extra for a brand

Many leather bags cost more simply because there's a famous name on them. Worker is made to last – not to show off a logo.

Over time

Your life leaves its mark

Worker is made from top grain leather. The surface is lightly buffed before the leather is dyed, so the bag starts out clean and even. But it's still real leather – and it changes the more you use it.

Softer

The leather becomes more supple and shapes itself to what you carry.

A richer sheen

Where the bag is handled most – handles, edges and corners – the leather takes on a soft glow.

Signs of use

Small scratches and marks become part of your bag's story. Light scratches can often be softened with a little leather balm.

The laptop pocket fits most laptops up to 16". A 13–14" laptop fits in the laptop pocket in a sleeve, while a 15–16" laptop fits in the laptop pocket without a sleeve or in the middle compartment with one. The bag measures 40 x 30 x 8 cm.

Top grain comes from the outermost layer of the hide – where the fibres are densest and strongest. The surface is lightly buffed to remove the most visible natural marks before the leather is dyed. The result is an even, hard-wearing leather that still changes over time: it softens, takes on a gentle sheen and picks up the marks of your everyday life.

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an international organisation that audits tanneries on things like water and energy use, chemical management and waste. Gold is the highest rating a tannery can achieve. The leather in Worker comes from a Gold-rated tannery, so you get a hard-wearing leather that's responsibly produced. Note that it's the tannery that is certified – not the individual piece of leather.

Yes. Worker comes with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap, so you can carry it by hand or over your shoulder.

Because you shouldn't have to pay for a name. We put the money into the materials instead – and you get a bag with a clean, timeless look that goes with everything.

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth when needed. Give the leather a thin coat of leather balm a couple of times a year to keep it supple. Avoid leaving the bag in direct sunlight, and don't dry it on a radiator if it gets wet.

The warranty covers both function and quality, such as zippers, stitching and handles. It doesn't cover normal wear and tear or accidental damage. If in doubt, email us at hi@nordformstore.com.

    Wall Street, here I come! I felt like getting a more old-fashioned, fancier bag for my daily needs, but didn’t really fancy a full-on attaché case or anything too ‘laptop bag-coded’. I’m also not the kind of person who needs to take their laptop everywhere they go (wouldn’t fit anyway) but I reckon this should hold important documents or my sketchbooks and drawing supplies quite nicely.

What is a laptop bag?

As the name suggests, a laptop bag is designed to carry your computer and keep it protected through your study or workday. It usually also has pockets and compartments that make it easy to keep the rest of your essentials organised. That makes it the perfect bag if you need to take your laptop with you on the go.

Why choose a leather laptop bag?

Laptop bags come in many colours and materials. So why go for leather? A leather laptop bag is durable, sturdy and stylish – and with the right care, it will last for many years. Over time, the leather also gains character and becomes uniquely yours.

Laptop bags for men vs. women

Whether it’s designed for men or women, a laptop bag is there to carry, protect and organise your computer and accessories. The differences usually lie in design, colours and features.

Men’s laptop bags tend to be simpler and cleaner in design, made from materials like leather or strong textiles in neutral colours. Women’s laptop bags are often more varied in design, come in a wider range of colours and materials, and frequently have extra compartments for things like a phone, wallet and make-up.

What’s the difference between a laptop bag and a shoulder bag?

There are many types of bags, and it’s not always easy to tell them apart. “Shoulder bag” covers a wide range of bags that all have a shoulder strap, so you can easily carry them on the go. Shoulder bags are often fairly large and come in many shapes.

A laptop bag, on the other hand, is designed specifically to carry and protect a laptop, which makes it more of a work bag. It’s shaped around a computer and usually has a compartment dedicated to it. Laptop bags come both with and without a shoulder strap.

Worker comes with a detachable shoulder strap, so you can choose.

How do I choose the right laptop bag?

There are a few things worth considering when choosing a work bag that suits your needs:

  • Choose a laptop bag that fits the size of your computer.
  • Look for room for accessories such as chargers, pens, business cards and documents, so everything stays organised.
  • Think about the material and style you like. A durable material like leather can last for many years with the right care.
  • Consider the colour. The right colour lets you match the bag with your shoes or belt for an elegant, professional look.
  • Choose a bag with an extended warranty, so you’re covered if something breaks.

Should I choose a laptop bag or a backpack?

If you’re deciding between a backpack and a laptop bag for work, it comes down to your needs.

A laptop bag suits you if you want a professional look at work. It’s designed to protect your laptop and usually has several compartments for chargers, a mouse, documents and business cards, making it easy to keep things separate. A backpack, on the other hand, is better if you carry a lot of heavy items during the day, as the weight is spread evenly across both shoulders.

The most important thing is to choose what suits you and the way you’ll use your work bag.
