Styled in evergreen black and edgy navy blue variants, the Atlas Urban Messenger boasts a compact design with a simple woven strap that lets you carry the bag around wherever you go. The messenger bag is large enough to comfortably fit a 13-inch laptop, along with its trimmings, like a mouse, charger, USB cables, and other necessary carry-ons like your phone, wallet, business card, notebook, stationery, and even a built-in draw-string compartment for a water bottle or an umbrella.

The bag’s outer flap has a magnetic closure, which when opened, reveals the Atlas’ main compartment where you’d store bigger belongings like your laptop, tablet, large notebooks, headphones, or your water bottle/umbrella. A hidden zipper on the inside lets you keep important documents or other slim belongings. A zippered enclosure on the front of the bag reveals the Atlas’ attention to detail in the form of dedicated storage areas for all your valuable belongings. Two slots let you store pens, while wider pockets let you store your phone, a mouse, a power bank, or a hard drive. A business card holder on the flap lets you stash cards away for easy access, and two tab organizers let you easily secure things like cables, spectacles, keys, or wired earphones without having them move around in your bag and collide with other objects.

Magnetic flaps on the front and back let you stash away other items like chargers, EDC, and other items you may need to access quickly like your passport, boarding pass/tickets, sunglasses, AirPods, etc. While the bag’s made entirely from top-grain cowhide leather, the interiors are lined with polyester and microfiber to protect your gadgets from scratches and scuffs.

The Atlas combines fashion with function in a way that offers zero compromises. The bag’s compact, lightweight, well-compartmentalized, and spacious, while simultaneously being incredibly stylish and sturdy. The Atlas Urban Messenger was designed to be dependable, and the kind of bag you’d use to carry your life around every day, everywhere. Each bag comes with a 12-year warranty, and the Faire Collective also makes wallets and laptop/tablet sleeves that perfectly match the Atlas’ evergreen, haute aesthetic.

Want to flaunt your new iPhone? How about this crossbody holster that holds your phone and cards

Pockets. Sometimes you’ve got them, sometimes you don’t, sometimes you wear a jacket and leave stuff in the pockets only to discover them a year later. Or sometimes you’ve got just enough pockets that you need to put your smartphone along with your keys, leaving them vulnerable to scratches. This isn’t really a referendum on pockets, it’s sort of a scenario-building effort that makes the Moshi Crossbody Phone Holster look like a pretty sensible product to have. If you’re running low on pockets, or if you identify as a hipster who doesn’t believe in sticking to conventions, Moshi’s vegan-leather crossbody holster gives you a perfect spot to stash your phone as well as cards and cash. The holster sits diagonally around your torso and makes it much easier to access your phone and cards while on the go. It also makes you look like a bit of an avant-garde person of culture.

Designed in California (quite like the iPhone shown inside it), the Moshi Crossbody Holster is a slick little piece of EDC that carries your phone as well as your cards. Perfect when you want to head out for a quick coffee run or to meet a friend (when you don’t need to carry anything more than your phone, wallet, and keys), the Crossbody Holster serves as a pretty stylish fashion accessory that’s just as functional.

The holster comes built out of vegan leather and is wide enough to hold all sorts of phones (from the smaller ones to the larger Pro/Max/Plus ones too). A bifold-style magnetic flap on the front lets you store 3 cards for easy access, which means you don’t really need to splurge on a MagSafe wallet that may accidentally slip off your phone.

The vegan leather build is weather-resistant and abrasion-resistant. It even comes with an anti-bacterial NanoShield coating to kill germs upon contact, and is equipped with an adjustable and removable crossbody strap. For now, the Moshi Crossbody Phone Holster comes in just black (although I’d love to see spunky color variants), and like all of Moshi’s products, is backed by a 2-year warranty. However, if you buy the holster of Moshi’s website, it automatically gets enrolled in Moshi’s 10-year Global Warranty Program.

Doctor Who TARDIS Bag: Portable Police Box

We don’t yet have the technology to make this Doctor Who TARDIS Messenger Bag bigger on the inside and make it an actual time machine, so you can’t jump inside and have an adventure. Although that would be pretty damn cool. Anyway, this bag is still pretty awesome, and Whovians are going to love it.

This bag has a sweet TARDIS design both outside and in. Just flip the flap up to display the police telephone sign, and inside it has a cute TARDIS print lining. It’s a messenger style bag, but it’s closer to the size of a handbag. It’s made of faux leather and has one zipped and one open pocket on the inside, while the strap has an adjustable 13″-26″ drop.

I can see the new Doctor herself wearing this bag. In fact, I kind of wish they would make this an accessory that she carries around on the show. She can keep her sonic screwdriver and other necessities inside. You can get one for yourself for $69.99 from none other than ThinkGeek.

A Bag to Carry your Life with You

Bags as a product may be utilitarian, but they are more about self expression than anything else. That’s probably why we feature so many different types of bags on Yanko Design. They’re storage, but they’re personal storage, which is why when you find the right bag that fits both your needs and your style, it’s such a great feeling.

We introduced a beautiful, modular bag only last month thinking it would be difficult to outshine, but here we are with something that pushes the boundaries of bag design a little further. The 48Hr Switch bag is just everything in one. Why choose modular when you can have a bag that shape-shifts to suit your needs? The 48Hr Switch allows you to switch between work, play and travel by putting a backpack, messenger-bag, and briefcase all in one. The idea is to provide 48 hours worth of storage, which means you’ve got dedicated space for your laptop, files, and clothes. If you’re a shutterbug, the 48Hr Switch makes itself incredibly lucrative by including divisions for your camera and lenses within the storage compartment too! If you ever feel like you’re struggling for space, the bag’s design can expand up to 70% extra to give you even more storage!

The 48Hr Switch is a winner on the design front too. It seamlessly transitions between backpack and briefcase with absolute ease. It does this by giving the bag a dual-face design. This means the bag can be used front-facing as a backpack, and when you flip it over, the back face is sideways oriented, allowing it to become a dapper messenger bag or briefcase! Its clever design allows you to add or remove straps to change its avatar on the outside, and does the same on the inside too, by providing a great amount of segregation as well as a partitioning system if you opt for it. The bag’s made from a combo of full grain leather and British cotton canvas to give it an aesthetic that beautifully combine retro as well as urban sensibilities.

Like we said, bags are about mirroring your character and about you making a personal statement. Which is why finding the right bag to suit your style as well as lifestyle is such a great feeling… and we here at Yanko know we can help you discover the perfect bag!

Reflective Camera Bag Improves Photography on the Go

Many photographers carry their gear in a camera bag, and often bring along a reflector to help better illuminate their subjects. Now they can carry just one item that serves both purposes. Betabrand’s Flash Bag makes things easier. It is a messenger-style camera bag with built-in reflective panels for adding indirect light to your photos.

flash_bag_1
The bag has a large area of reflective foil under its flap. Just unhook the buckles and lift the flap for some extra light. It will bounce and concentrate light from the Sun, your flash, and any other lighting source. The bag also comes with Velcro dividers in the main compartment, so you can create custom sections to hold DSLRs, lenses, and other stuff.

It also has eight pockets, including a padded laptop pocket, two side pocket, a zippered flap pocket, patch pockets, and various inside pockets.

This bag will be a photographer’s best new friend. The Flash Bag is currently being funded via Betabrand’s crowdfunding platform, and you can pre-order yours now for about $83(USD).

We all wish we could have a Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV mounted to our wrist, but unless you were born in a vault, they are pretty hard to come by. At least we can carry this Fallout 4 messenger bag. It will hold all of your ammunition, frag grenades, mines, Rad-X, kebabs and such.

This Pip-Boy is ready to hold all of your stuff. But don’t carry too much, or you will be so heavy that you’ll be forced to drop some items. Since it’s still technically a Pip-Boy, it could help keep you alive for another day in the wasteland.

Get it for about $69(USD) from Forbidden Planet. It’s totally rad!
