You all know how I am about bags and purses. Well, one of the styles that I never really tried before was canvas messenger bags. I like the style well enough but I tended to think of these as more of a younger style or a design geared for men. That was until I saw the bags that Serbags carries.

I was sent one of their women messenger bags called the Brown Canvas Travel Shoulder Bag and it could not have come at better time. I am getting ready to go out of town and this is the perfect solution for my traveling needs. I was just thinking about what bag I was going to use and poof, the answer showed up at my door.

Messenger bags have been around for years and are a popular choice for men, women and kids. In fact, students love these because they are a great alternative to backpack. With the large range in sizes and styles they will work for books, laptops, purses and even overnight travel.

What makes these bags so great is that the most popular material used for manufacturing messenger bags is canvas. This heavy duty fabric is extremely resistant to water damage and everyday wear and tear. They hold up to just about anything you can throw at them. The Brown Canvas Travel Shoulder Bag I got has a ton of features that make this an awesome running around, everyday bag and a fabulous travel bag too. Check it out:

* Canvas Bag
* Long adjustable strap.
* Zipper top closure.
* Interior zip, wall and cell phone pockets.
* Exterior pocket.
* Dimensions: 13″ X 11″ X 4″
Made from high-quality cotton mixed fabric.

I love this size of this bag. It is just right to carry my daily items. Plus it is big enough to tuck away my Nook Tablet, some crocheting so I have something to do at all times and a book if I need to read something tangible… got to do that sometimes. The outside pockets are awesome. One for my phone, one for assorted stuff like keys, lip gloss or lip balm. Then there are 2 more zip sections on the front that will hold my nook and cords and anything else I need to cram in there. This has a HUGE amount of space. And I even forgot about the zip pocket on the back side and the 2 water bottle pouches on the ends. I think I will have ample room for anything I can think of.

Another huge plus for me is the shoulder straps. I hate have short straps on my bags. I love that these feature adjustable webbed straps that are sturdy and comfortable. This bag is very lightweight and comfy to use. I am getting it loaded up tomorrow with all of my goodies and I cannot wait to start using it. YAY!

I love the selection at Serbags. They are a relatively new online retailer and their product line is nicely varied so there is something for everyone and every need. They have a really nice laptop bag I spied there too….
