Born on the tough
streets of cities like New York and San Francisco, messenger bags have evolved
from simple, durable sacks to today’s cutting edge designs carrying all types
of digital devices and personal items. Many messenger bags styles have retained
their early city street roots, while others have gone “uptown” being crafted
from premium leather hides, creating leather messenger bags with the
best of both worlds: Tough and rugged with all the style and sophistication of
much more expensive, formal cases.

If you’ve got on eye on
a stylish leather messenger bag, the first thing you need to inspect is whether
the leather is real or some kind of synthetic leather look-alike material. Many
types of vinyl have been developed for use in the car and furniture industries
that simulate the look and feel of leather but still smell like the plastic
they are made from.

Messenger bags made from
thee types of man-made materials are very inexpensive and can be built to last.
If you’re looking for
something a bit more exclusive, a leather messenger bag is the way to
go. Even among real leather, quality varies greatly. Look for hides that are
naturally tanned with vegetable oils and have a consistent texture. Many
manufactures that make leather messenger bags also make matching leather
cases for your laptop or tablets. A leather ipad case cut from the same
hide as the messenger bag makes for a beautiful, upscale presentation. For a
laptop such as Apple’s popular MacBook line, a premium leather Macbook Airsleeve that matches the leather messenger bag makes a statement of
unparallel professionalism when unpacked in a crowded meeting room.
