Messenger Bags and Me, a Love Story of Sorts
When I first met the woman who is now my wife, I saw her standing on the corner of a street in London outside a jazz bar. We were both meeting mutual friends who wanted to introduce us, and from the moment we met it was love at first sight. Yet when I look back on that moment I can’t remember what she was wearing (typical guy that I am) but I do remember that she had a great big blue messenger bag. Over the years I ended up borrowing the bag from her more and more, for the simple reason that they are incredibly tough and really useful. And, what’s more, there is nothing in the slightest odd about a man being seen with a messenger bag. I don’t think she ever intended for it to become a shared item, nor, I’m sure did she think of it as unisex when she bought it. But these really are bags that men and women can feel equally comfortable being seen about town with. They hold loads, have a broad shoulder strap that makes them comfortable for all-day carrying and they are pretty weather resistant too.
Since being introduced to the idea of messenger bags for men by my wife I’ve also moved on to using a laptop messenger bag for my daily work. The one I use is German and is also really convenient as well as smart looking. It protects my laptop with a really great padded sleeve that closed down well and has proper shock and drop protection built into it. It also has enough space for me to carry my pens, a couple of notepads and, when travelling for business, a toothbrush, razor, clean shirt and change of underwear and socks. I never expected to become such a fan of this style of bag. Previously I’d used backpacks wherever possible, even buying a padded backpack for my laptop, but I’ve since become a convert to the more relaxed yet also slightly more stylish idea of using a messenger bag for most business and private occasions.
