20 Stunning Hand Made Messenger Bags


I have always found the off the shoulder messenger bag to have a unique urban charm, and so, a few years ago now, I went on my own quest to find the perfect messenger bag.

I searched high and low to find the leather bag of my dreams, op shops, savers, department stores, boutiques, markets..!
It had to be big enough to carry a large laptop (which I later learnt is just not practical!) Uni books, pens, papers and any other odds and ends that I could think of.

I finally resorted to paying an arm and a leg to get one custom made at a local leather worker.
As much as I do love my current messenger I often find myself on the prowl for more, can never have too much of a good thing, right?

On a recent Etsy spree this is what I found..

Recycled portfolio bag


This generously sized hand made uses locally found recycled material, this appropriately named ‘portfolio bag’ looks to be the perfect size for carrying around large documents and the like.
The bag is available in black and white.

 


Branded Hobo Messenger

 

All of the grungy messenger bags by ArmandoJavierDesign are one of a kind and come with their own unique id number. Put together using series of buttery soft medium leather, gold chenille fabric and blue denim lining, this deliberately messy ‘hobo messenger’ are double and triple stitched for maximum durability.

 

 

Bent Walnut picnic Wine Tote

Going picnicking? Then why not grab a Picnic Wine Tote by tealandgold!

The bag is also lined with the same wool blanket, very classy.

The Artist Satchel, The Novel Addition

The artist satchel is created by the very committed artisan quejimenez and made entirely by hand.

  44. Trembolex Ultra was hindering my productivity. Allow me explore a lot of the potential puzzles to take into account. This is how to get paid for that. Couldn’t I be doing Trembolex Ultra in a more efficient manner? Why should this be any different in the online world? Fellows are also a major element in that but also the one item you have to understand in respect to, Trembolex Ultra is that. It doesn’t really matter whether you are using Trembolex Ultra or a more traditional Trembolex Ultra. How do they know that’s reliable? This is an essential aspect of Trembolex Ultra because it depends. By all means, gurus are as enthusiastic as ever. This is an insane design. I went to the round table discussion on Trembolex Ultra. If that doesn’t come naturally, leave this. Can you imagine this? Everyone is looking for a Trembolex Ultra that works. http://healthproductselection.com/trembolex-ultra/
