Messenger bags, also known as satchels, are practical and functional accessories designed for individuals on the go. They are characterized by their rectangular shape, adjustable shoulder strap, and a flap closure, resembling the bags traditionally used by messengers and couriers.

The defining feature of messenger bags is their crossbody design. They are worn diagonally across the body, with the strap resting on one shoulder and the bag positioned at the opposite hip. This style allows for easy access to the bag’s contents while keeping the hands free, making them ideal for individuals who need quick and convenient access to their belongings.
