The Otter Pass Messenger Bag is made the way bags used to be made—to last. The leather and waxed canvas will only look better with age. It has a visceral quality that only quality bags attain. Your children will pull your bag off a shelf someday, catch a whiff of well-oiled leather, and remember what it felt like to hold your hand on the way to school, or fall asleep with the bag as their pillow on the train ride home from a day at the park. It holds everything you need for day at the office or with the kids, but it also will retain the irreplaceable memories your kids will make with you.

The bag is designed to work with other Otter Pass products or alone. It is streamlined, with just enough—but not too many—pockets, allowing you to organize it to fit your needs. The flap keeps the bag tucked together nicely so it is never bulky. The buckles and pulls on the flap are intended to let you open and close them one-handed so your other hand is always free. The easy-grab small handle allows you to maneuver the bag effectively. The comfortable, adjustable strap is perfect for you to wear over the shoulder or across the body.

Grab the bag and combine it with the streamlined Bag Insert for optimal efficiency. Pack the Bottle Holder and Dad Dopp Kit with a baby bottle and snacks to take to the local kite festival with the kids, or with a water bottle and toiletries for a last-minute business trip. Slip the Travel Case in with diapers for little ones, or a book and your computer cords for a long commute. Clip on the easy-to-wipe Lined Pouch to keep the toddler’s pacifier at the ready, or to keep receipts safe while taking clients out to lunch. The Messenger Bag is like a stylish, portable command center for your day; it keeps you on track and in place so you’re ready for whatever comes.

From the straps to the snaps, from the buckles to the lining, you’ll be struck by our thoughtful attention to detail. But other people will only notice the way you’re prepared for work or time with the kids. Let the Otter Pass Messenger Bag help you make the most of your very full life so you can focus your attention on the people around you every day.
