Superhero Messenger Bag!

Sometimes a custom bag order comes around that really blows us away in its custom capacity and stretches us to figure out how to make it all work together.

Well, this Medium Messenger Bag for Eric V. certainly is working and is truly customizable - to fit Eric’s outfit, mood AND mode of transportation with an amazing argyle velcro to fit matching colored patches so that every outfit is color coordinated! The bag is covered in Eric’s wool suit fabric and sports a handle, shoulder strap and flap to stow away the messenger strap when boarding a bus or entering a board meeting. One thing it’s missing: the superhero cape.
