Why the Dark Style of Retro Messenger Bags Are Becoming More and More Popular in 2023?

The History and Comeback of Retro Messenger Bags

Messenger bags saw their heyday in the 1970s and 80s when bicycle messengers adopted these practical bags to carry mail, documents, and small parcels. The retro style has made a major comeback in recent years, both for its nostalgic look and its functionality.

Vintage messenger bags stand out with their characteristic rectangular shape, adjustable strap to be worn cross-body, and closure flap with buckles or Velcro. Modern designers are reinventing these retro details in fresh, stylish ways.

One of the biggest messenger bag trends is the proliferation of dark colors like black, brown, navy, dark green, and grey. Darker bags are inherently practical because they hide wear and stains. Rich leather in darker tones also conveys luxury.

Beyond practicality, the darker color palette fits into the moody, retro aesthetic. It complements the minimalist, neutral wardrobe favored by many. For those wanting to make a statement, a bold black bag pops against bright, colorful outfits.

Practical Benefits of Messenger Bags

The messenger bag style offers great functionality for everyday use. The adjustable strap allows you to comfortably carry the bag across your body. It keeps your hands free and distributes weight evenly. The roomy interior with pockets keeps your essentials organized. Flap closures keep contents secure.

Messenger bags work well for carrying documents, laptops, and other gear to the office or for travel. Students and commuters often favor messenger bags for public transit and walking in cities. Their low-key style and hands-free ease of use make them a popular choice.

Retro Messenger Bags as a Fashion Statement

While practicality drives the popularity of retro messenger bags, their comeback is also fueled by fashion. Brands like Coach and Michael Kors offer trendy takes on vintage silhouettes. Designers incorporate details like buckles, leather trim, and contrast stitching. Original vintage messenger bags have cachet for their one-of-a-kind aged character.

Messenger bags allow you to express personal flair. Patches and pins decorate many recycled vintage bags. Customization makes each bag unique. For some, a messenger bag reflects an adventurous, free-spirited attitude.

The materials and finishes used in dark retro messenger bags introduce interesting depth and texture. Popular choices include:

1.Leather

Full-grain leather wears beautifully over time. Oil-tanned leather in black or brown has an ultra-rich, sophisticated look. Leather bags may feature decorative whip stitching along the seams.

2.Suede

Soft, napped suede provides a luxuriously tactile feel. Suede is prone to staining, so darker earth tones like olive and brown help minimize visible marks. Distressed suede bags evoke a well-worn vintage vibe.

3.Canvas

Durable canvas makes messenger bags lightweight and weather-resistant. Waxed canvas offers water resistance along with a distinctive pebbled texture. Dirt and abrasions give canvas bags more character as they age.

4.Waxed Canvas

The waxed coating on this thick, sturdy cotton canvas helps repel moisture. Its pebbled look lends rustic character. Waxed canvas holds up well to regular use.

5.Corduroy

Velvety corduroy cotton brings interesting texture and depth. This plush fabric has a retro preppy vibe that works well in a messenger bag. Durable corduroy wears well over time.

Where to Find Stylish Retro Messenger Bags?

The revival of the vintage messenger bag style means there are more great options than ever to find that perfect bag:

1.Vintage and Secondhand Stores

Searching secondhand stores can uncover unique retro messenger bags. Each pre-owned bag has its personality. Expect signs of wear, which just add to the vintage appeal.

2.Online Retailers

Many major retailers now carry men's and women's messenger bags in vintage silhouettes and materials. Online shopping allows you to easily compare options across brands for features and price.

3.High-end Designers

For sophisticated leather bags, check out premium designers known for quality craftsmanship. Luxe details like custom hardware and contrast linings elevate messenger bags into heirloom accessories.

How to Style a Dark Retro Messenger Bag?

The versatility of the messenger bag style allows it to work for casual everyday looks as well as polished business outfits. Consider the setting and what you need to carry when selecting your bag.

1.Casual Looks

For weekends and relaxed occasions, pair your messenger bag with jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, and other casual basics. A distressed leather or canvas bag matches the laidback vibe.

2.Business Outfits

Leather or waxed canvas messenger bags nicely complement business casual attire like trousers, button-down shirts, blazers, and loafers. Keep your load light to avoid bulkiness.

3.Formal Attire

Streamlined leather messenger bags with thin, adjustable straps integrate well with suits and dresses. Seek bags just big enough for essentials to maintain a polished silhouette.

Their rectangular shape, crossbody carrying style, and roomy interior keep all your essentials secure and accessible on the go.
