Make like Mercury and get yourself a messenger bag

If you've ever found it difficult to merge practicality with style when buying a new bag, then you've clearly been spending too long looking at the smallest of sunglasses!

Variations on a theme

Although your typical messenger bags are worn by postmen and the like, we prefer the much chicer versions, as sold by Alexander Mcqueen and Diesel. However, when it comes to needing to pack for a day trip (yes, that does mean there's a bag of crisps in there!) it's best to go for one by Adidas Originals, as their larger sizes are often more convenient.

Whatever your needs, a messenger bag will certainly see you from morning till night, so be sure to look at what Stylight has on offer to make sure that you find exactly what you need.

Four Factors That’ll Make Messenger Bags Your Go-To

Backpacks and totes have always managed to haul your goods but there’s a new carry-on waiting to be slung over your shoulder: the messenger bag.

Whether it’s large or compact, let a it do the heavy lifting for you. The features of a messenger bag distinguish it from the rest of the pack. Quit leaving the messenger bag hanging –here’s why investing in this bag is worthwhile.

Stable Straps

Your stiff shoulders are begging for sturdy straps that will make carrying the essentials bearable. A quality-made messenger bag will have a thick padded strap that will stay on your shoulder without digging into your skin. You can adjust the strap as you see fit and when your shoulders tire out, a top handle is there to the rescue.

Size Matters

This isn’t your mini crossbody bag. A messenger bag should be spacious enough to hold everything from the most fragile items to the heaviest loads. Look for exterior and interior pockets to stash smaller items like your cell phone or wallet. When it comes to practicality, a messenger bag is the reigning supreme accessory.

Secured Fastenings

There’s no point in investing in a bag that will have all of your contents spilling out. Avoid this with durable zippers and buckles that will keep your goods safe and sound. Gold and leather-belted buckles add a touch of sophistication to an otherwise neutral palette and classic structure.

Luxurious Textiles

Invest in quality over quantity and you won’t regret carrying your messenger bag from one place to another. Looking for a clean and elegant bag that will go with any polished ensemble? Opt for leather. If you seek a casual counterpart, then a canvas bag will transition well into a life full of running errands.

You live a fast-paced lifestyle and need a bag that can keep up. Let a messenger bag be your new go-to that can handle all your baggage.
