DESIGNER MESSENGER BAGS

Messenger bags occupy a special place in the modern accessories arsenal – you’ll find them sitting comfortably halfway between the rigid formality of a briefcase and the casual ease of a backpack. Their roots lie in functionality; historically, leather messenger bags and side bags for men were used by post carriers and bike messengers. Now, however, designer messenger bags are a street-style staple. In our edit, you’ll discover Mulberry and Valentino Garavani messenger bags that keep things traditional with sleek leather designs, alongside Gucci messenger bags and Burberry messenger bags that reinvent the style with contemporary shapes, materials and finishes.
