Trendhumper: Messenger Bags
Usually associated with mailmen and crazy bike messengers, the messenger bag has crossed over from parcel delivery to becoming a popular alternative to the backpack. And why not—messenger bags (also called courier bags) offer the same toting ability as a backpack while offering easier access to your stuff while you’re on the go. Really, who wants to swing a heavy backpack around your shoulders every time you have to take out a book or magazine on the train? So the function is there, but what about the form? Should these be HUMPed or do they need to be DUMPed like last weeks leftover’s? Vote below.

If you have shit to carry around, what other non-ugly option do you have?

I’ve seen they’ve become more popular at the university I attend. I’ve owned one since forever, makes me feel more older haha. If you rock it right, it can’t go wrong. Those black and bright colored backpacks need to bounce off your back.

I rocked a backpack for awhile but it made me feel like a kid. I had to switch to a messenger bag.
