We should probably limit ourselves to a certain amount of bags…but we don’t. We have so many bags lying around it’s like Hoarders:Bags in our office closet. Paring it down is difficult though. We need a tote for the flea market and grocery store because it’s convenient and high capacity. Messenger for public transportation. Backpack for the bike. You get the idea. With Rough & Tumble’s Messenger Tote we might be able to cross two other bags off of the list. It boils down a tote bag with a messenger strap which is cool, but the materials and craftsmanship are what really stand out. Each bag is handmade in Maine from waxed canvas and leather from material colors you select and includes pockets for pens, iPad, passport, phone and anything else you need on your person.
