Upcycled Messenger Bag

We think these messenger bags are just what you need to tote around your textbooks or netbook in upcycled style. Made by hand from excess polypropylene shipping material in Thailand, these are stronger than your average bag! If you prefer to carry your bag like a briefcase, the handle can be set close to the top of the bag to keep the straps from dragging on the ground. For a more traditional messenger bag feel, just adjust the 55 inch strap to a comfortable shoulder fit.

Outer flap closes securely with a strong Velcro closure to reveal a large main zippered compartment. Look a little closer and- surprise!- you'll find a handy little pocket (5x7 inches) inside perfect for your cell phone and a few other small necessities!

We find that these are perfect messenger bags for men or school bags- really for anyone who has a tendency to be wear out their stuff faster than you can buy it! Just wait and see how much longer these last than your typical store-bought messenger bag!
