1. Handbags just don’t hold enough.
Let’s be honest. Handbags are great for going out, but as for a practical day bag, they’re just not big enough! Everyone needs a bag with the capacity to hold all of your necessities, i.e. digital cameras, magazines, water bottles (you know what I’m talking about). A messenger bag can hold everything you possibly need and more.

2. Students, lose the backpacks.
There’s enough controversy going around about the detrimental effects of heavy backpacks on students’ backs. Studies show that wearing excessively heavy backpacks on a daily basis can cause serious problems in the neck, back, and shoulder areas. Don’t risk getting a back injury at such an early age. Get you and your friends to try putting some of those heave books into cute messenger bags instead and carry the rest. It will be worth it in the long-run.

3. Go green!
There are far too many people on the streets carrying a handbag and 3 plastic bags full of stuff. Let’s consolidate and save plastic! Put all of your newly bought goodies into a cute messenger bag, and save the environment! Being green friendly will never go out of style.

4. Show your uniqueness.
The great thing about cute messenger bags is that you can make them your own. Even if it’s a solid color, you can still add your own style and flair. Sew some unique thread into the fabric, iron a patch on, tack some pins into it. Make yourself a unique bag that no one else has! If that’s not style, I don’t know what is.

5. It’s a digital world.
Now that wireless internet is available virtually everywhere, why not bring your laptop along for the ride? There are tons of cute messenger bags specially made for laptops that will allow you to bring your digital life everywhere you go. Take a trip to the local coffee shop. Browse the web for a bit and catch up on some emails while sipping your favorite beverage. There’s so much out there on the internet waiting to be discovered, so stop leaving it at home all of the time!
