From Intro:
“The messenger bag has become the bag of choice for people in a hurry; it is roomy, robust, offers quick access, and is easy and comrfortable to wear across the body. This is a style of bag that is strongly associated with modern urban living - Motorcycle couriers and so on - but here I’ve given it a traditional, almost rustic look by featuring cable patterns and bobbles that are reminiscent of fisherman’s ganseys. The texture is sturdy and resilient.”
