Which Types of Messenger Bags Exist?

- Messenger bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with its own distinct features. Some of the most common messenger bag styles include:

1. Classic Messenger Bag

• Classic messenger bag: This style is typically characterized by a rectangular shape, a flap closure, and a long strap that can be worn across the body. 

2. Courier Bag

• Courier bag: A distinct bag indeed, this bag is similar to the classic messenger bag, but is often smaller in size and has a shorter strap that is meant to be worn over one shoulder instead of being worn crossbody or in any other way.

3. Backpack Messenger Bag

• Backpack messenger bag: One of the most unique designs definitely, this bag combines the features of a backpack and a messenger bag, and is typically larger in size than other messenger bag styles. It usually has a flap closure and one or two straps that can be worn over the shoulders.

4. Laptop Messenger Bag

• Laptop messenger bag: This easily distinguishable bag is specifically constructed to carry a laptop, and often has a padded compartment for the device itself. It may also have additional compartments and pockets for other items, and usually has a strap that can be worn over the shoulder, quite the classic, but with a modern twist.

5. Satchel Messenger Bag

• Satchel: A more sophisticated take on the messenger bag, satchels are often made of high-quality materials and feature a structured design. They may have a flap closure, a briefcase-style handle, or both, and usually have a strap that can be worn over the shoulder.

6. Messenger Briefcase

• Messenger briefcase: A great option for businessmen or women on the go, this bag features a more rigid design than other messenger bags as it was mainly designed for short use during office hours. In addition to that, this bag often isn't actually worn but is made to transfer stuff from your home to the office, then to keep your stuff secure while you work. This bag typically has a sleek design and is made of leather or another high-quality material. It has a flap closure and a strap that can be worn over the shoulder and often features additional compartments and pockets for organization.

7. Crossbody Messenger Bag

 • Crossbody messenger bag: A brother to the classic messenger bag, but with ergometry in mind, and with a strap that goes across the body instead of just over one shoulder. This makes it more comfortable to wear for long periods of time and helps distribute the weight of the bag more evenly, in addition to that it can be switched between shoulders to ease the stress caused by wearing a bag for too long - more about back problems and shoulder pain in the section below:
