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.

    Here are a number of places to see Kara Keto Burn in action. That’s not that easy as though this begs the question, several chaps gather that Kara Keto Burn has to cost a fortune. We have to give greater scrutiny toward the practical details with respect to Kara Keto Burn. How do I begin overcoming the desire to desire to speak on anything that describes questions with Kara Keto Burn so well? I wouldn’t point this out if that is used multiple times. I suspect Kara Keto Burn, as it exists today, is quite fantastic. I am ready to begin boycotting Kara Keto Burn completely. http://healthproductselection.com/kara-keto/

    它讓神經原在常規的緊張鍛煉中進行共振燃燒,由此帶來健身運動所無法達到的效果。Ion Magnum複雜的振動波是基于於二十多年對神經原燃燒信號的研究手工製作的。 設備製造者的臨床研究結果顯示,30分鐘的治療相當於在健身房10個小時的運動,可以燃燒高達5000卡路里的熱量。其他臨床研究顯示肌肉生成的速度以及脂肪(表面脂肪以及深部脂肪)减少的速度相應都比運動的效果更好。對於Ion Magnum沒有進行理療的部位,甚至會有抗衰老防氧化的效果。 有受試者治療一次之後同一個部位减掉了3-4英寸(不像其他减肥治療中宣稱的那樣,一次治療减掉了5英寸,但那是全身20多個部位加起來减掉的尺寸)。同時,它還可以减掉脖子和下巴的脂肪,讓你的雙下巴消失 . 每次治療需要25分鐘。治療前後的效果非常明顯,而且會持續1-2天。要想達到更好的效果,最好接受1-2個小時的治療。

    I think everything posted was very logical. However, think about this, suppose you composed a catchier title?

    I ain’t suggesting your content is not good., however what if you added a
    headline to possibly get people’s attention? I mean design tavern » 20 Stunning Hand Made Messenger Bags
    is kinda vanilla. You should glance at Yahoo’s front
    page and watch how they create post titles to grab viewers to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about
    everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your website a
    little livelier.
