These bags have been worn in
Europe by both men and women for years and are fast in popularity in the US and
are often referred to as a Cross-Over. So what defines a courier bag from a
briefcase or handbag and why is it so popular? The messenger bag is intended
to be worn over the shoulder not on the shoulder. The strap is thicker, longer and often
adjustable. The size is larger and
rectangular in shape and reasonable in front by a flap that is often distorted
or snapped shut. It is tatty slung on the hip building it more suitable to get
to; more secure then a backpack or handbag and leaves your hands free. College students have embraced the idea of
the courier bag and it is rapidly replacing the bulky and unwieldy rucksack as
have mothers keeping track of their young children. For decades the bike couriers of New York,
San Francisco and other large cities have used the emissary bag for delivering
packages.
The Italian Leather Messenger Bag
with its superb craftsmanship and high excellence leather has absolutely raised
the bar of decency. The leather lends class to an otherwise informal style
making it fashionable and hip among young professionals. And Italian leather ages to excellence with a
lovely finish that looks better the more it’s used.
I have a buddy who travels on the
continent several times a year. She owns numerous of Bellezza’s Italian Leather
courier Bags and says it’s the only way to travel!
