Stacy Stewart Smith Men's Diamond Dodger Tweed Trapezoid Messenger Bag
Stacy Stewart Smith Men's Diamond Dodger Tweed Trapezoid Messenger Bag
Description
A nod to the Artful Dodger of Dickens’ Oliver Twist — but considerably better dressed, and arriving as a bag. The Diamond Dodger Tweed Trapezoid Messenger Bag is cut in the same two-tone diamond-patterned tweed as the Diamond Dodger suit collection (72% acetate, 15% linen, 13% polyester) in Cement/Onyx, with Onyx pigskin suede lining and accents. The house “S” graphic logo is quilted in embroidery on the front — a quiet signature on a bag that does not need to announce itself loudly.
The bag’s trapezoidal silhouette is structural by design: it sits upright on four metal feet like luggage, holding its shape on any surface. The soft upper body and handle make it easy to carry by hand or on the shoulder, and a suede-trimmed comfort rest keeps it in position whether worn on one shoulder or crossbody. Two side pockets are sized for cellphones. An inner zip pocket and a sturdy interior divider pocket organize the main compartment. Two-way coil zippers with suede pulls open the bag and the inner pocket with ease. The bag comfortably holds a tablet and is roomy enough for a petite overnight trip.
Pair with the Diamond Dodger Tweed Collection — the blazer, suit, and pants — for a complete coordinated ensemble.

Provenance & Delivery
Made to order in New York City. Shipped in a gift box with a silky dust cover. Due to the bespoke nature of this item, returns and exchanges are not accepted. Preorders are not refundable. Shipping insurance is strongly recommended.
Care: Spot clean with a damp cloth (preferred) or otherwise professional dry clean with a specialist that cares for luxury accessories. Do not scrub nor rub the textile or interior suede vigorously. Do not apply steam heat. The bag has been Scotch-guarded, but do not cause it to become wet from rain or snow, which will ruin the textiles. When not in use store the bag with its internal stuffing and in the dust bag provided. Keep everything boxed as shipped. Have the messenger bag Scotch-guarded every other year to maintain a water resistant surface.
Care
Stacy Stewart Smith offers made-to-order garments, fine art, and digital publications — each requiring different care. Please refer to the product description for care and handling instructions specific to your purchase. For garments: dry clean or spot clean unless otherwise noted; do not machine wash. For fine art: keep away from direct sunlight and humidity; handle with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. For digital products and publications: no physical care required; download and archive your files upon receipt.
Design
Every Stacy Stewart Smith piece begins as a drawing and ends as a decision — a deliberate choice of textile, construction method, and proportion made by a single designer with five decades of practice. The same eye that composes a painting composes a coat: line, weight, negative space, and the relationship between form and the body that inhabits it. Garments are produced in New York City, one at a time, to the measurements and preferences of the individual client. No two pieces are identical. No production run exists. This is not manufacturing — it is making.
The atelier sources textiles for their hand, weight, and longevity. Sustainability here is not a campaign. It is the natural consequence of making only what is wanted, from materials chosen to last, by a craftsman who will not put his name on anything less.
