The messenger bag dates all the way back to the early 1950s, where, as the story goes, Frank Demartini constructed an over the shoulder canvas bag for telephone linemen. This bag provided quick and easy access to carry tools.
It wasn't until the mid 1970's that the bag made its jump to the back of bike messengers. With the growing rate of traffic congestion, the bike messenger profession grew quickly, creating an odd subculture of motor vehicle loathing, traffic light ignoring couriers.
By the 1980s, America saw the first messenger bag production companies spring up to meet a rising demand. By the 1990s, the messenger bag had caught on as a major trend.
Today, the messenger (aka, 'courier') bag is a global phenomenon. Artisan Gear brand is happy to present its top series of hemp products including large & small messenger bags and accessories.
The fact that this product is made of hemp is an item of special interest, as the material holds up to conditions several times better than its cousin, cotton. Also of interest, unlike cotton, hemp is a renewable resource, meaning it doesn't significantly deplete the soil of nutrients after its harvest, leaving fertile garden soil for the next crop.
The mini messenger bag is ideal for outings, such as going to the park, a house party or the gym. You will find a surprising amount of room to work with inside. One might consider using it as a makeshift basket for picnic items, or even a gigantic makeup bag. It is also great for gifts.
