Remember me
So you feel like you’re too old for a backpack, but you’re not quite ready to go full lawyer-mode and commit to a hand-held briefcase. There’s really only one move left: Get a messenger bag. Though, truthfully, messenger bag and briefcase can be used interchangeably these days. What we’re talking about here is a bit more utilitarian. There should be a shoulder strap and enough space inside for more than just work items.
The messenger bag does carry a certain academic, bookish energy. But the modern messenger bag is as much for CFOs as it is teaching assistants. They’re practical, polished, and ideal for commuting, with enough room for your laptop, charger, notebook, AirPods, keys, pens, and whatever else you need—minus the kiddy look of a backpack.
