Here’s one we got today from a proud owner of the iPad sleeve:

I just wanted you to know how much I love this case! It holds the iPad, my Kindle, the chargers for both in one pocket, my iPod and charger in the other pocket with the charger for the phone. I throw it in the car and I’m ready for anything. Love it.

Designing and producing a messenger bag is a long process, especially when you’re trying to make messenger bags that are green, eco-conscious, sustainable and sturdy. We carefully consider each and every component that goes into our bags, trying to keep our carbon footprint low by manufacturing locally and sourcing materials in the USA.

Here are the components that we’ve procured to make our messenger bags:

–Exterior fabric: Recycled polyester from a mill in PA, and locally-sourced ripstop nylon

–Interior fabric: Recycled nylon

–Webbing, hardware, and zippers: Sourced from the USA

We’re proud to announce that our bags will be manufactured in the Seattle area, less than 20 miles from our office. Our prototype is almost ready, and production of the bags should take place next month. Woohoo!
