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..

The bag is available in black and white.

    Some tips i have observed in terms of personal computer memory is that often there are specifications such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must fit the specifications of the motherboard. If the pc’s motherboard is kind of current and there are no main system issues, replacing the memory literally normally requires under an hour. It’s among the easiest laptop or computer upgrade types of procedures one can think about. Thanks for spreading your ideas.
