Not Just For Biking: DKNY Messenger Bag
The DKNY Messenger Bag pays homage to a universally recognized style. This single strap shoulder bag has been a historic entity that finds its way back to the days of Pony Express delivering mail. Adjustable in length, the strap is long enough to lie across the body, providing easy access to the large covered pouch.
In a current setting, the DKNY messenger bag has become a signature part of the purse line that is known for its cutting edge style. This highly customized bag has taken the oversized purse and made it highly fashionable while retaining the function.
College students, business professionals, and busy moms are all the perfect candidates for the DKNY messenger bag. Whether it is lugging books and a laptop or diapers and bottles, this large rectangular bag has high functioning expectations.
Pockets for personal electronics like phones, IPads, laptops, MP3 players and more are conveniently placed for easy access. Zippered pockets to tuck pens, money, or ID’s are tucked inside for security. The large flap across the front not only protects what’s inside but hides all the unsightly storage.
The DKNY messenger bag then takes trend elements and gives its own interpretation. Whether it is leather, nylon or canvas, the bag is made for high use with strong zippers, magnets, and snaps. Soft pebbled leathers are ornate with studs, fringes, grommets, and chain links. The leather style tends to be the most trendy as many times the intended use is nothing more than for looks. From standard black to bright vivid colors, this take on the messenger bag has high style.
Using the bucket style purse for its base, the DKNY messenger bag also reinterprets this classic shape by elongating the body and adding large pockets to the outside, often embossed with faux croc or another exotic animal print. A zippered top rather than the classic flap give it a more modern look, while still using the long adjustable strap.
Function is more important for the nylon styles, which are willing to risk rain, sleet and snow to get the job done. Canvas versions are often printed with allover patterns that are combined with leather accents.
Mixing color combinations is another hallmark of the DKNY messenger bag. Brown or black bases are given pops of candy colored trims and pocket fronts. This lively combination makes the overall look less serious and more youthful.
The messenger bag will continue to be a classic style within the line, as there will always be a need. Whether a whimsical twist on an old style is preferred, or a more sophisticated image is needed, there will be a DKNY version that fits the bill perfectly.
