Canvas Crossbody Bag - Small Messenger Bag | Vintage Shoulder Purse

Love it

Great price for a medium sized messenger bag. I own another one made by Gootium and love it. I got this one primarily to use when hunting to hold various things like ammo, snacks, animal calls etc. Works great and has held up nicely, still looks like new.

A well made bag has a lot of room and I like it a lot

These are awesome affordable bags great for a trail walk hike or a casual day shopping. I have two!

Very well put together, both material and workmanship with plenty of pockets ! Much better than I was expecting. I’ll take it with me everywhere ! 5 Stars !

First off, Im a guy, so while this is a satchel/messenger bag, a lot of people (including my wife and kids) refer to it as a man purse or a murse.....whatever.....it works. Here in America, mens messenger bags are not hugely popular yet, but in England and Europe, they are as common as wearing shoes. I carried a full size messenger bag around Asia and while it worked well, it was just too big and bulky, and if you travel in the summer, there is no need to carry an umbrella, gloves, and the various stuff that you need in cold weather. Enter this bag. It is small enough to be quite handy yet able to carry a surprising amount of essentials. The zippered main compartment has two open pockets inside. One that fits a cell phone and a larger one that nicely fits a 12oz water bottle like my insulated Klean Kanteen, and one zippered pocket for your passport, wallet or other small items that you want to keep extra secure. There is a larger zippered pocket in the back that can fit some flat items (like my Pad mini) but is too small for a magazine. A small outside zippered pocket could possibly fit a Tap/Oyster card but I probably wont use it. The two pouches under the flap can be used for an eyeglass case but be aware that they have no zippers or snaps so things can fall out, but putting some type of snap on them would be, well, a snap...(sorry, I couldnt help myself). Also, those pouches fit my trusty 12oz stainless steel water bottle nice and snug, so that is where it will probably reside. And about that large flap and strap closures. Ive read here where some people feel its very awkward and inconvenient and if your using this bag as a purse where you get into it 100 times a day, then youd be right. But if you plan to travel abroad, you really need to understand that there are some very sneaky hands out there that easily find their way into open bags. Sometimes awkward and inconvenient can be a very good thing. When I see kids with backpacks and their water bottles and cell phones are sitting in the water bottle pockets, I cringe. Also, be aware that this bags material is pretty soft (but tough and seems quite durable) so there is no structure which I like. The color isnt really army green, but more of a brown. If your fashion conscious, then it might matter, but for me, its just fine. Overall, when I travel I much prefer things that work rather than things that were designed to look good but really dont work very well. I have a feeling that me and my murse are going to become close friends. Oh, and one more thing: Just remember that in most parts of the world, especially The UK and Europe, backpacks….even small ones…. are not allowed in museums, galleries, or in most cathedrals. Shoulder bags, sling bags, and messenger bags are OK.

Bag was what I expected. It will make a good possibles bag when out hunting or fishing. It is a good companion bag for the individual who wants to travel light with essential gear and some snacks for a good day outdoors.

I love this bag, I looked over vintage canvas messengers for a few days and settled with this gem. It’s a great size, big enough to fit and iPad but not too big to be cumbersome to walk with. I love the materials and the way they feel, the canvas does not feel thin. The hardware is cute, I thought magnetic but it’s not you manually fasten which to me feels more authentic. Someone else mentioned the outside side pocket is very small and I agree, but there are enough pockets to keep everything else organized. Well made a little more weight to it, but I love it!!!

This bag is great! Its so roomy but not overly bulky. Very durable material! I really recommend this bag.

This is a great bag for me. Because I have to carry so much stuff I needed something that is rugged and small enough that it wouldnt get in the way while cleaning stalls, leading horses and all other bar chores. This guy is perfect. The only reason I didnt give five stars is that one of the zipper pulls lost a rivet and the leather came off the first day. Other than that, this bag has held up great and I recommend for men and women. Stylish and discrete enough for anyone.
