Messenger bag for men

Well, actually it's unisex. I designed this bag for my men's line as mentioned in a previous post. It's made from soft-touch canvas in dark grey with black trims and is fully lined. Measuring about 14 x 12 inches it is spacious without appearing too bulky. A4 size notebooks fit in easily with lots of room to spare. There's a large interior compartment as well as a couple of pen-holders - also handy as a 'hook' for sunglasses. The front panel has a stylish zip pocket and there's an exterior pocket on one of the side panels for keeping a mobile phone, packet of tissues etc. The strap is adjustable. I was aiming for simple yet functional and stylish - what do you think?
p.s. Thanks to hubby for taking time out to model this bag :) And please ignore the moss-covered fence. See, that's what happens when in rains non-stop. Definitely need to scrub that down asap!

This is a great bag, Duni! I think this is a style my hubby would use for work; I like the zip in the front flap as well.

I hope the site is coming along nicely.

Your work is just incredible and I love the clean lines! The bag is certainly stylish and your husband did a great job modeling it!

As for the moss, everything here is covered with it since we get rain all the time too so I didn't even notice!

Grace said...

that's exactly the kind of bag I keep looking for and can't find. It's perfect for ME. How much is it? How can I buy it?

Michelle said...

Thank you so much for your comment for our beloved Coco. It means and helps so much - really!

Il Mare Atelier said...

Duni, this bag is superb - looks good and very functional too!

Would it have the strength to carry a laptop, do you think? Perhaps you could consider adding a detachable interior cushion for a laptop.

Fabulous bag! Moss on the fence? Wow, what I wouldn't give to see green like that around here in our semi-arid area!

Great bag, Duni!

And if a man is carrying it in the US and he gets picked on for having a purse, he can say "Oh, it's a laptop bag, man!" Nice streamlined design!

BTW...what's wrong with moss....I LOVE moss!!! I actually get some from the yard, mix it in the blender with beer and spread it on my pots so moss grows on them!

Say Hi to hubby for me...what a great sport!

Your work is amazing ... Great looking bag for men. And hey ... cute model!

Grace said...

Oh dear, I never knew you were not in the USA - I would expect between the cost of the bag, the exchange rate and the shipping, I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the bag would be far to expensive. That is so disappointing. I can be reached at: hugzb4ugo@gmail.com

Dear Duni,
Great bag! Nice neutral colour. It would work for books, papers or a laptop. (Il Mare Atelier's suggestion of a design with extra protective padding for a computer maybe something to think about.)

Your husband models your bag well.
Moss just adds a little character to the scene!
Best wishes,
Anna
P.S.
Hugs to Sammy too.

Very nice bag! (and model and mossy fence...love it all!!)

tashabud said...

This is a stylish, classy, and professional looking bag, Duni. Streamlined, yet has lots of room for a laptop and other stuff is a great selling point for it.

Your husband is a good sport for modeling your bag. If it weren't for the price of postage, I'm sure you'd be selling more of your products around the globe.

Have a great Sunday,
Tasha

I really like messenger bags. You can fit everything in them and they are very stylish for both men and women. Your hubby has a new career modeling :D

Kristin at My Art and the Mom in Me said...

I never would have noticed your fence, lol! That is just like us women, pointing out a "flaw" to someone even though they probably don't even see it! The messenger bag is amazing.. My Goodness, Duni, you and your talent. I am such a fan. :)

Nancy said...

Very nice! We need more men's items in handmade land. And not hokey ones, ones that men will actually like! This is perfect:)

Frances said...

That's a nice utilitarian bag---definitely a man (or a no-nonsense woman!) will appreciate. oh, and your hubby looks good =D
