Annah worked with my on some of the eariest versions of the current messenger bag. She actually made one of her own on the old tredle sewing machine that I had before buying the big industrial machine that I now use. A few months ago she came for a visit and we spent the day picking out and cutting fabric for this bag. Well, it's finally done, and it looks great. The flap is overlayed with a piece of Moda vinyle showing an Atlanta building and a set of lungs, symbolizing the living city. The bag itself features double 3d pockets, double compression straps with metal lower buckles, side pockets, and an X strap for stablizing huge loads. Annah lives in Philadelphia these days and I'm happy to have one of my bags gracing that city's streets.
