Ex-Boyfriend now carries printed canvas messenger bags! I am going to be honest here, I adore messenger bags, it’s like a purse that is OK for men to carry. I probably already own about a dozen messenger bags of various shapes and sizes, but this doesn’t stop me from wanting more of these handy man purses. My messenger bags go everywhere with me –  work, school, gym, vacation, urban hikes, you name it.

I am especially excited for the new bags we’re carrying because they are pretty much the perfect bags. They’re soft yet study, made of 100% cotton canvas. The shoulder strap is super comfy and doesn’t twist and shift.  Magnetic snap closures means in my haste/laziness I won’t forget to close up the bag. The bags also have the perfect arrangement of pockets and pouches. Two inside zipper pouches for my pencils, a notepad and chapstick (because that stuff otherwise always disappears into the abyss that is the bottom of my overstuffed messenger bag). They’ve also got to external pockets so I can easily find my phone and reach my ipod. I can also fit a sketchpad and my laptop in one of these bags, so really everything I need can fit inside. Oh and you know what else is cool? The bags come with a keychain strap so I can finally find my damn keys, rather than rooting around in there and having to pull everything out to find ‘em.

Look inside:

If all this isn’t enough reason to love these bags, they of course feature super stylish Ex-Boyfriend illustrations.  This week I’m carrying a kakhi green Fidel Catro messenger bag.

(That’s me with my new favorite bag)

P.S. Who is going to see Coraline? I can’t wait. I am thinking Valentine date movie.
