I used to go through messenger bags like my Uncle Brick used to go through boxes of Pall Malls. Trust me, he smoked like there was no tomorrow. When the doctor told my uncle to stop smoking or else, he quit for good. About that time I quit replacing messenger bags. I decided to create my own bombproof bag or else. And the Dakota Messenger Bag was born. It’s the bag I’d been looking for and finally found.

This traditional sized vintage military messenger bag is built with 100% waxed canvas, with top-grain leather accents. It will perfectly carry your laptop, power cords, any and all meeting materials, plus your copy of Jim Harrison’s Selected & New Poems. Now if you want to keep replacing messenger bags, be my guest. But if you’d like to quit for good, then quit. The Dakota is the last waxed canvas messenger bag you’ll ever need.
