Whether someone considers a messenger bag more suitable for a man or a woman is a matter of personal taste. Today, it is one of the best features for today’s woman who is juggling what often feels like a thousand demands on her time. Historically, this feature made the messenger bag a practical solution for mail carriers (pony express), military messages (Roman legion), and bicycle couriers. The best news is that you don’t have to take the bag off to get inside. When you want to access the contents, you swing the bag to the front. The strap allows you to carry it on your shoulder, either normally as a shoulder bag or diagonally across your chest (cross-body), and the bag swings round to sit comfortably on your lower back to let you walk or cycle with ease. The basic construction is a bag with a flap and a long strap. It’s big enough to take a laptop and everything else you need for a busy day in town, but also slim and elegant to fit with the polished professional or stylish modern woman. Nobody wants to open velcro in the reverential hush of a museum.The messenger bag is the larger, more practical version of a standard women’s shoulder bag. It's the perfect bag to take to a museum for an afternoon, perfectly sized for a sketchbook and pencils, and the whisper-quiet magnetic closures make it super discreet. That's something I never thought I'd want to do, but reaching down to pluck out a camera, a sketchbook, or my phone makes it feel like an assistant is handing me the things I need.īecause it's vertically oriented, there's much less risk of your stuff spilling out onto the sidewalk if you crouch down to take a photo. The big weighty front flap secures seamlessly (and quietly) with a magnetic closure, and it flips over the back and rests securely against your body if you're walking around with it open. Waterfield's Muzetto crossbody shares the sturdy construction of its bigger sibling, but it has fewer internal pockets and the leather doesn't have as much give, so stuffing it with bulky objects, like full-sized headphones, can be awkward. They have a bad habit of banging against my hip when I walk, or of being really awkward to cinch closer to my body. I've always had mixed feelings about vertically oriented messengers. When I first saw this bag, I was skeptical. It feels sturdy, the seams are thick and robust, and the pockets and front latch seem like they’re made to last a lifetime. They’re handmade to order, and that attention to detail really shines through. It’s a very stylish bag (very dark academia and scholar-chic), and it’s built to last, with a leather outer that has so far weathered nicely. The interior lining is a bright orange, which helps with visibility. Plus, it has ample interior pockets and pouches to store small things, like lip balm and charging cables. There’s just enough internal structure to keep my gadgets safe but enough flexibility that after a few uses it will start to contour to your body a bit. The leather Executive Messenger addresses this problem by being very slim, but flexible. Messenger bags are often very bulky, even when they’re not full. But Waterfield Designs’ Executive Messenger is hands-down the best messenger bag I’ve ever laid my hands on. I’ve gone through my fair share of messenger bags, even before writing about them was part of my job.
