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.

    Thanks for the new things you have discovered in your blog post. One thing I would really like to comment on is that FSBO relationships are built after a while. By releasing yourself to owners the first weekend their FSBO is announced, prior to masses start calling on Mon, you develop a good interconnection. By sending them tools, educational elements, free records, and forms, you become an ally. By using a personal curiosity about them along with their problem, you produce a solid link that, most of the time, pays off when the owners opt with a representative they know and also trust – preferably you.
