Last night I heard a man say, with an extrapetit Timbuk2 messenger clutched in his hands, "This bag will be perfect for going-out at night." What he meant was, "Now I have an evening purse." We both paused when he said it, but he knew it was too late to take it back - he'd spoken the words and they just hung there, waiting for due judgment. But, for once, I held mine back, because the truth is, real men schlep too. -Assistant Editor Hanah...off to crump (very poorly) to some block-rocking Russki beats... If only we could be as cool as murse man.
My husband once drew his “ideal bag” in elaborate detail and I went out looking for it to give him for Christmas (it didn’t exist, btw). He’d probably love the Freitag design-it-yourself option, but I’m having trouble with their website. Could be because I’m a Mac-head. Anyone else having difficulty? http://www.bjbead.com engaged in wholesale jewelry,handmade jewelry,fashion

In your list of cool recycled big bag options, you should include the stuff from Alchemy Goods in Seattle, http://www.alchemygoods.com/. They make messenger bags out of recycled bike tubes.
I learned of them when they donated a bag in support of the 2008 Bike to Work Week in Spokane, our first time to organize a big-splash event. Very cool stuff.
