Leather messenger bags can be a very nice accessory, since they do not look out of place with a suit or with jeans and a t-shirt. If you are thinking about buying any sort of new bag, briefcase, etc., you may want to further consider messenger bags. Here are three uses for these bags and how they can make a difference in your work day.
Biking to Work and Taking Everything with You
If you enjoy a brisk stroll to work or love a good bike ride instead of the morning car pool and traffic, then you need some sort of bag that can carry your lunch, your papers, your files and maybe even your wallet and phone while you are walking or biking. Most messenger bags are large enough to hold thick accordian files filled with papers, as well as a bag lunch and a canned beverage. Some of these bags also have zippered pockets on the back of the bag so you have a place for your wallet, phone, house keys, etc. With the cross-body strap, the messenger bag can be worn in such a way that remains up and out of the way of your cycling feet while not falling off or losing its contents.
Acting as Your Main Courier Bag
If your job entails working as a courier, then a messenger bag is already your go-to accessory at work. However, that does not mean that your "work bag" has to look boring or uninteresting. Substituting a highly decorative leather messenger bag like those from S.Marco for the one your boss gives you means that you still are delivering letters and envelopes but you are doing it in style. The leather is also more durable and longer lasting than the canvas bags most bike couriers and messengers are given, so you will not have to ask your boss quite as often for a new bag when the old canvas one gives out.
Functioning as a Diaper Bag for Nannies and Busy Parents
Some of the diaper bags on the market are not that attractive or interesting, and they clearly scream "New parent here!" Since many of these diaper bags are already fashioned after the messenger style, why not carry a real messenger bag and one that stands out for its adult-ness rather than its post-modern or ultra-cutesy designs? Nannies (of both sexes) will also appreciate toting a leather messenger bag with diaper-changing contents because it looks more like a high fashion bag than a diaper tote.
