Canvas Crossbody Bag - Small Messenger Bag | Vintage Shoulder Purse

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 !

The bag is very sturdy n strong. I use it everyday.

Leather is imitation layer over split cowhide. It will crack over time. Great bag overall. I use it all of the time and like it very much. it seems to be durable, but this is not a bag to wash in the washing machine. It will ruin the leather. It is better to clean it by hand, or use Woolite if you have to submerge it in water.

It is awesome

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.

As Walt Whitman says, I tramp a perpetual journey. And I have looked for the perfect bag to carry my favorite books, pipe and tobacco, spare glasses, notebook and pens, and other small items. Well, here it is! This bag is the perfect size. Big enough to carry necessities but not so big it acts like an anchor or a drag chute. The main compartment zips under the flap as you can see in the photos. It has zippered pockets inside and outside. Two unzippered outside and inside pockets. The bag is very durable made with military-grade canvas. Very comfortable and an adjustable shoulder strap so it can be worn at the right level for you.

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.

I like all features about the bag.I use it for my art supplies.Real durable

I like the vintage look and I use it for concealed carry

I use this bag everyday while running errands, and to the gym. I like it very much because of the canvas, strap, and buckle closure details, it has a lot of storage and pockets and is holding up well. I’ve also been able to fit my wallet purse, a makeup pouch, phone, and a book inside. It’s quite spacious. It’s comfortable both over the shoulder and cross body. Another thing I like is that it’s different and not one of those bags that everyone is carrying around. I’m enjoying it. Recommend.
