So, you have a few things to carry - the usual stuff: wallet, mobile, iPod, pens, a magazine. Too much to jam into your pockets. Not enough to fill a too-roomy bag. The ideal solution is the Compact Messenger, the classic courier shape scaled-down. small and slim (in a man-sized kind of way) the front flap sports a black nickel clip and there are pockets inside and out, in all the right places. Adjustable strap allows you to wear the bag across the body, forwards or to the back, as well as over the shoulder. Handmade in a variety of designs, from the classic to the casual, in the finest quality leather and fabrics, quite simply, the Compact Messenger isn't too big.
But it is clever.
