Messenger bags and shoulder messenger bags are the light, comfortable, and stylish way that many people choose to carry their things. They feature padded straps so that you can carry them on your shoulder or in your hand, without the bulky in-the-way quality that some backpacks have. There are messenger bags in virtually every color, pattern, and fabric, so it’s easy to find one to suit your own personal taste. Messenger bags are easily carried on the shoulder, while shoulder messenger bags have a single cross-over strap that allow you to carry your bag flat to your back without having it in the way.
