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.


Mr. Mooney messenger

This unique messenger is made entirely using suit coat parts.

 

The Artist Satchel, The Novel Addition

The artist satchel is created by the very committed artisan quejimenez and made entirely by hand.
“Your bag is lovingly created for you when you order it. Each bag is available in any of the colors i offer, and can be imprinted with the quote of your choice (mines or yours)… ”

 


Bagley Executive Courier

The Bagley Executive features a more vintage, classical look, and made 100% from genuine leather.

 

Minimalist Natural Edge Oiled Brown Leather Bag

Made from oiled leather to create a natural and minimal tone.


Hand-stitched Light Brown Leather Cross Shoulder Bag

Another more classic bag with an irregular edge to add a bit more style.

All of the Upcycled messenger bags are unique and also come in an olive green.
