The Loyal Workshop was founded by a young Auckland couple, to provide an opportunity for freedom for women trapped in the sex trade.

Need space for your larger laptop and folders? This fair trade, hand-stitched leather messenger bag is able to hold all your essential tools.

Comfortably holding a 15″ laptop and a bevy of papers and folders, the Nelson Messenger Bag is designed for the office goer or creative that cares for both space and style.

This limited edition release of 30 Nelson Messengers ensures you have bragging rights on being one of the first to get your hands on this generously sized satchel.

This bag has been hand made by a women from backgrounds of poverty, each with their own story of trauma and oppression: sold, stolen, trafficked and forced against their will into the sex trade. Without prospect of finding alternative employment, they were trapped. Every product we create is part of a woman’s freedom journey.

On behalf The Loyal Workshop thank you for your support.
