Step Out in Style with Messenger bags

After recently receiving your A-level or GCSE results, then chances are you'll soon be heading off to college or university, but the last thing you want is to turn up on your first day with your old school bag tucked under your arm. Oh no, your first steps in to the big wide world should be taken with confidence and pride and with this article, I've selected a variety of leather messenger bags so you can step out in style.

First up is the Pell Mell Travel Satchel. This convenient messenger style bag measures 16.5” wide, 15” high and 4.5” deep and gives plenty of room for books and papers as well as a small umbrella, food and drinks. There is also a handy pocket to keep you mobile phone or mp3 player safe and separate. On the front of this leather bag is two further pockets for keeping valuables such as a wallet, keys and over smaller items, and an internal zipped pocket can keep important documents safe and dry. Borrowing from classic styling, the antique brass buckles and latches, along with a wide adjustable shoulder strap, this soft brown leather bag is amongst the most desirable mens bags available.

Next we have the Matt Yorke Bag. This soft black bag is made from vegan leather; being a leather like synthetic material made from recycled plastic bottles, making it perfect for the animal and environmentally conscious student. Measuring a little over 13” wide, 11” high and some 3” deep this bag combines style and functionality perfectly with the stylish outer zipped pocket and plenty of room inside for almost everything you'll need. The perfect alternative the leather bags and even softens with age, just like real leather.

If leather or leather look is not your thing, how about the Mudd Canvas Messenger Bag? This heavy canvas messenger bag measures 15” wide by 12” high and 3.25” deep features a dash of brown leather trim. Lift the large full flap to reveal a single large compartment (essential for text books and note pads) and a myriad of pen holders, card and calculator pockets and the all important phone/mp3 pocket. The Mudd Canvas Messenger Bag also feature a full size zipped compartment for keeping important documents separate and safe. As with many mens messenger bags, this also features a long, wide adjustable shoulder strap.

All three of the mens bags featured here are also ideal for women as after all, they have been wearing the trousers for decades, so nobody will notice if they take our messenger bags too. Whether you choose canvas, leather look or real leather bags there's no doubt you'll be stepping out in style in to the big wide world.
