We were the first company to use military grade 1000D CORDURA brand nylon (the highest grade of nylon available on the market) to make the original one strap messenger bag, creating a new, urban lifestyle and changed the face of fashion forever. From those humble beginnings our line has expanded to offer a variety of messenger bag styles from our clastic vintage messenger bags to laptop messenger bags, bike messenger bags, and even waterproof messenger bags.

Good luck and please keep the rubber down — I am proud and happy to have so many of you all around me on the city streets. Every day, my D.C. is feeling more and more like my Berlin did.

I was pretty sure that Pat from PAC Designs had retired from the messenger bag-making game but the only good thing about the global Coronavirus pandemic is that she got cabin fever and decided to make some bags. I have been conspiring with her for months and even ordered 2 yards of 1000D clay red CORDURA and mailed it to her so that she could make my handmade, bespoke, courier bags. Here are some photos you can enjoy of the bags in the process of being made. Can you pick out my bags?
