Men shoulder bag

The shoulder bag made of soft, vegetable tanned cowhide is designed in the style of a messenger bag. As with this, the volume of the main compartment can be adjusted: The snap fastener on the strap, which can be moved like a lift, can add about a third in height. This means that in addition to a medium-sized folder and a 13-inch notebook, there is still room for a jacket or a small shopping bag. Built-in side wedges ensure good closure of the bag lid even then. In addition, the main compartment lined with cotton twill has two slip pockets and a zippered compartment. On the back are a spacious zipper compartment and another zipper compartment to be opened vertically from the side, which preserves keychain or phone and provides quick access to it.
A shoulder pad on the infinitely adjustable shoulder strap ensures wearing comfort, the strap end can be sunk in a side, small plug-in compartment and thus does not interfere.

Harold’ has its leather goods designed in Germany and manufactured in a Colombian manufactory. The fruitful cooperation goes back to the mid-1980s. Eventually, it involves more than usual: Based on legal employment contracts, the collaboration provides the Columbian workers with reliable working conditions, ensures their coverage in health and accident insurances, and contributes to a pension scheme. Therefore, many of the employees have been working in the company for more than 20 years. Over the years, they have accumulated relevant expertise and experience in leather processing. That’s not a given in South America’s leather goods industry: Typical for the sector is a high proportion of migrant workers and fluctuations in the workforce. No less impressive is Harold’s conscientious handling of the extensive safety regulations: The working conditions meet European standards, for example, by putting forward muffled acoustics, adequate floor space and exemplary cleanliness. A large part of the machinery originates in Europe as well. The leather comes from nearby kept cattle grazing outdoors all year round, as is customary in South America. The tanned leather’s surface still shows the natural grain and traces of the animal’s life, such as mosquito bites or small cracks, and soon the patina typical of leather will form on it. Harold’s has the lining fabrics and metal parts produced by partner companies based close to the Colombian manufactory.
