Customers say this messenger bag excels at organization with its numerous pockets, rings, and built-in compartments. Many reviews mention its versatility for work, travel, and carrying laptops alongside personal items. Users appreciate the spacious interior that accommodates water bottles, notebooks, and various accessories while maintaining a comfortable carrying experience. The upgraded shoulder strap receives frequent praise for comfort during extended wear. Common feedback includes satisfaction with the quality construction and durability. Some note the bag's open-top design creates gaps at the sides, though many find this acceptable for easy access. A few mention the lack of structure makes it somewhat floppy when not full.

- GGuyVerified BuyerReviewingMaker's BagI do not recommend this productBought For MyselfProduct Standouts High Quality Craftsmanship, Good Storage SizeRated 2 out of 5 stars1 year agoCorners pop, and stay open. Will sell.
Just received the Maker’s Bag in Black 420 Spectron with pink (I forget the catalogue color name for pink) interior in time for a four day, 8 mile per day walking tourist trip around New York City, USA. Whilst the bag size was perfect for this journey, the shapelessness of the bag ‘s material is not suitable for all areas of a major metropolis. Both corners of the bag stay open when carried as a cross shoulder device, single shoulder bag, or just lying around. Too tempting for prying eyes when privacy is preferred. The TSA Agent asked “is your water bottle empty?” as it peeked out, looking from the open corner on the conveyor. Will list the bag on the forums FS, barely used for one trip. My first disappointment with a product from so many purchases from maker over the decades.
- ASAbby S.Verified ReviewerReviewingMaker's BagI recommend this productBought For MyselfProduct Standouts High Quality Craftsmanship, Durable, Good Storage Size, Versatile, ComfortableRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoI take this bag everywhere.
I got this bag over four years ago and it has held up handsomely. It has become my go-to bag to the point that I use it almost exclusively. I have used it in circumstances when most people would not think of using a messenger bag and although it has taken me a while to learn how to work with it, I wouldn’t trade it for a backpack in most any situation.
I especially like it when I go on botanical surveys in the mountains and I always use it as my day pack. On these hikes, I find this bag is much better than a backpack. I can wear it like a backpack by sliding it around to my back and using the waist strap to keep the weight of the bag off my shoulder. But when I see a plant I need to collect or want to get a drink of water, I can easily slide it around to the front without taking it off, making it easy to access anything in my bag while I am still walking.
One challenge I had with this bag was learning how to load it well. With all the pockets in the front, it is very tempting to use this organization by stuffing them full. The asymmetrical closure also makes it easy to slip things into the front pockets when I am in a hurry. This makes the bag unbalanced, and when I set it down, it falls over forward. To remedy this, I have learned that I have to be selective about what I put in those pockets and rely more on putting other organizers in the main compartment when I need to hold lots of little things.
- MHMelanie H.Verified BuyerReviewingMaker's BagI recommend this productBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Comfortable, Versatile, Durable, Thoughtful Design, High Quality CraftsmanshipRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoPerfect just-bring-everything bag
I was surprised at how large this bag is and how much it holds! It's shown below next to a TB Pilot and also holding a Yeti 26oz Rambler water bottle for size comparison. Pens shown are Sharpies, showing depth of pockets. Holds an iPad Pro 11" and letter size folders. Great for a carry-on personal item or a just-bring-everything bag for errands, road trips, everyday carry (including lunch and sweater). I have the Halcyon exterior version and it stands up well on its own while also expanding more than expected when fully packed. Comfortable strap and hangs well (not too bulky) when worn crossbody or on shoulder. Well thought-out organizational pockets.
- AEAlexander E.Verified BuyerReviewingMaker's BagI recommend this productBought For OtherRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoWe have several..
I got mine over a year ago, this is the one my wife bought. I colleague bought one after seeing mine. Mine is now with my son in South America because it was the only thing that met the carry on requirements for a personal item on one of the airlines. I miss mine, my wife loves hers. It the ideal in-between size shoulder bag (smaller and less awkward than the messenger bag that I am now using, not so small as to be of limited utility. I put a piece of closed cell foam in the back zipper pocket so it wouldn't loose its shape when I set it down, other than that, no modifications. I will get a new one to replace the one my child appropriated when the color I want comes back in stock.
- LSLinda S.Verified ReviewerReviewingMaker's BagI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoMagical endless capacity bag
I love this bag and use it for the following:
*Visiting my mom at her assisted living apartment (contents may include hat and fanny pack for short walk, sweater, knitting project, items to bring her)
*Music jamming outings (contents may include yoga block to use as foot rest, notebook and pen, water bottle, outerwear, fold-up guitar stand)
*Carry-on bag for air travel (contents may include small toiletries, knitting project, blow-up neck pillow and eye mask, snacks, water bottle, reading material, power cord). I use a few TB accessories that clip in, so I don't have to worry about them falling out.
One of my friends calls it the "Hermione Bag" because of the seemingly endless capacity.
I agree with some reviewers who say that some of the long/skinny compartments are hard to use. They are probably be great if you want to carry artist tools. But this is a minor criticism. Overall love the easy access, capacity, ability to set it onto the ground and not worry about getting it dirty, and compartments.
Great bag!
