They hook into a solid brass post and offer speed with security like no other Frost River design. The 2in shoulder strap is attached directly to the bag and comes with a leather shoulder pad. The strap is adjustable and long enough to be worn across most chests. Built from waxed canvas, premium leather, and solid brass at our shop in Duluth, Minnesota.

Great bag

I just bought this bag as a replacement for my identical 17 year old bag that finally wore out. Perfect size, wears well, great value.

Little Vintage Messenger Bag / Man Purse

I have many bags, but this one is quickly becoming my favorite. Many of my bags are sized to swallow everything I need during the day, but can look awkward in places where other people generally only have small (or no) bag. This size is perfect for short trips around town, to the coffee shop, at church, or wherever. Typically i will carry a notebook, books, food or bottles, hats and gloves, etc. The size is such that it compels me to take only what I need rather than the kitchen sink, allowing me to still stay light and mobile. The material is heavy and rugged, looks good in any setting, and built to last for many years.

Vintage Messenger bag

I recently purchased this bag at an event and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. I am just starting a new career and needed a bag that did not look like an executive briefcase or a nine year old off to grade school. This bag checks all the blocks durable,stylish and comfortable. Thank you forest River for building such great products.
