>> Styles of Messenger Bags
The classic messenger bag is horizontal, with enough space for leather bound documents and a small laptop computer. The bag is closed via a large flap that is fastened with buckles, velcro or magnets. The messenger bag has a shoulder strap so that it can be worn across the front, side or back of the body. Some messengers are designed as laptop bags, with a padded interior to protect the computer.
The messenger is the most popular mens bag, and as such has been designed for many different uses. The vertical messenger bag, or ‘reporter bag’, is smaller in size and is very useful when you don’t want to carry too much (commonly used for travelling). The vertical messenger bag can be found in different sizes, right down to the very compact, suitable for a bottle of water or a camera. Many designer brands offer a flat messenger bag, whch is less bulky and sits comfortably.
>> What Materials are Messenger Bags Made From?
A structured leather messenger bag is smart and professional, whilst a soft leather bag has a relaxed elegance. Many men need a lightweight bag, particularly if they use it to carry a heavy laptop computer. Nylon is strong and lightweight, and can be combined with leather trim for a stylish look. Waxed canvas is an ideal fabric for withstanding the strains and stresses of busy modern life, and can be easily cleaned. To make the messenger bag waterproof, the lining is often made from tarpaulin which also provides the support structure for the bag. Click here to read more about styles of bags for different uses.
>> What Makes Messenger Bags so Popular?
Messenger bags combine comfort and ease of use, with contemporary styling. Like the backpack, the messenger can fit a lot of contents. Unlike the backpack, the designer messenger bag allows you to gain access to the contents without removing the bag (by swinging the bag round to the front, the flap can be opened). The designer messenger bag is more modern than the briefcase, and smarter than the backpack. |
