It is interesting to know about the origin of these bags which have taken over the fashion scene in recent times. They have been styled upon the bags carried by all sorts of messengers all throughout the history. Notable among them are the Pony Express riders, postal workers, and even foot messengers.

Thirdly, they can go with almost any outfit.

Lastly, and almost most importantly, their flattish surfaces are an excellent canvas for designs and pin-ons of all kinds.

Major and minor brands have come out with messenger bags in almost an unbelievable range of varieties. From your favorite rock icons, film stars, sportspersons to grungy, abstract artwork; from simple and sober designs to flashy and absurd ones; with these bags you can never run out of choices!
Material is also something you can choose from as they are available in cotton canvas (which is the most common), leather (for the more formal kind of purposes), nylon, velvet and silk (for the feminine style statement!).

If after going through the huge number of choices, you still aren't satisfied, then make one yourself! Yes, that's simple enough with many brands that allow you to customize your very own messenger bag with the design, the material, choice of straps, zippers, Velcro, etc. So for the trendy yet practical look, nothing replaces messenger bags.
