MESSENGER BAG
"AMSTERDAM-40-LO"
BLACK (for left-handed users)
A simple cross-body bag made from vinyl tent fabric with a 40cm zipper opening, and a length-adjustable seat belt strap made in Hamamatsu.
"Hey!! Hey!!!!"
In Amsterdam, tourists who absentmindedly walk in bike lanes are often shouted at like this by cool cyclists.
"Get out of the way!! Get out of the way!!!!"
That's what it means.
Amsterdammers are just so cool. Bike shops only sell bikes that resemble Japanese "mamachari" (city bikes) but are more classic and sturdy, and everyone customizes and rides them. Young and old alike. You hardly ever see drop handlebars. They zoom down the bike lanes on these heavy-looking bikes.
The cross-body bags they wear aren't like messenger bags; they're more for city use, or rather, everyone has a different one, but they're almost all the same size and cross-body.
There isn't a single person leisurely riding like Japanese high school students.
I've been trying to create a simple, ordinary cross-body bag, not a messenger bag or a stylish bag, like the kind Dutch people use, and I feel like it's finally taken shape.
The combination of durable vinyl tent fabric, used for shop awnings and truck tarpaulins, and Hamamatsu-made seatbelts, is perfect for rainy Japan. It might look a bit like a Freitag bag, but this is a completely different shape from a messenger bag, so it's for people who just want to enjoy casual cycling or who commute by bike, rather than road racers.

ATTENTION! This product cannot be machine washed. If it gets dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth or rinse lightly with water. This product does not offer a repair service.
Vinyl tent material is resistant to water and dirt.
We use this to create gusseted bags with a seamless bottom construction, making them usable on dirty ground, snowy mountains, or beaches. However, some moisture may enter through the side seams, so we describe it as "somewhat waterproof."
