The leather music bag, also known as a music case, is one of the oldest designs our workshop makes. Made by hand in Liverpool in three sizes, the Mini Music Bag, the 13-inch Music Bag and the 15-inch Music Bag, each one has the traditional strap and bar closure that generations of music students and teachers will recognise.

Music bags are designed to carry sheet music, scores and exercise books flat, so they are not folded or creased on the way to lessons, rehearsals and exams. That makes them wonderful gifts for musicians of every age, from a child starting piano or violin lessons to a choir member, an orchestral player, a music teacher or a conductor. They also make a stylish, unusual document case for work, a vintage-inspired bag for dark academia and steampunk wardrobes, and a practical bag for artists, architects and anyone carrying papers.

Every leather music bag is made to order in any of our 44 leathers and can be personalised with a hand-pressed monogram, name or initials, which makes it a lovely gift for a grade exam, a music scholarship, a graduation or a retirement from teaching. Each music case is cut, stitched and finished by our own craftsmen in the workshop where the Hanshaw family has worked since 1966, and carries our maker's mark discreetly on the back. Every bag is backed by our five-year guarantee and a lifetime of repairs, so it can follow a musician for many years.
