Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Medium

I needed a bag when I go shopping with wife and kids. It had to be light, but holds enough stuff and I don't mind getting dirty. This bag does everything and then some. It's a great option for the dads and everyday person who looks for a light durable option.

Love my bag. Very versatile and it's just the right size.

I bought the first iteration of this bag 15 years ago. It still has a lot of life left in it. But I needed a different color and newer look for professional situations. I can fit a week's worth of clothes in this bag and slide it under a plane seat. Or, I can pack it with files for work. It's comfortable to carry, and it is built for the long haul. The extra strap helps if you want to use it on your bike without it slipping around. It has the perfect number of pockets. If I could only have one bag, it would be this one.

Hi guys/girls. First I'd like to thank you for getting this superb messinger bag in my hands so fast. Outstanding. I had an old Timbuc2 bag (that I wore to a frazzle over a decade or more) but this bag is light years ahead of that old bag. The materials and finish are top shelf. I would be surprised if this bag does not go even farther than my last one. Just the bag I was looking for and on sale too. Now try to beat that, I invite ya. I'm just delighted with my lovely new messenger. Keep up the outstanding work and rembember, "the dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on".

English teachers are notorious for carrying stacks of essays to and fro; this bag holds it all and frees up my hands for more important tasksbuying coffee, holding coffee, drinking coffee. This is a great bag! It holds my laptop, six classes worth of grading, all manner if writing utensils, and a small purse to boot! It comfortably distributed the weight and looks great. I wholeheartedly recommend this bag to my fellow teachers! Now, my coffee is calling. . . :-)

This bag is the perfect size for a utilitarian purse. It has all the necessary pockets and is beautifully stylish. It's just what I was looking for!

My first Timbuk2 bag is around 5 years old and has held up remarkably well and still looks great. I wanted a smaller bag since I've gravitated to a smaller tablet and calendar. The new bag looks fantastic and functions perfectly. I highly recommend Timbuk2 products.

I love my new XS classic messenger bag. Perfect size for me to cart around my 11" iPad with accessories.

This is worth every penny. Holds everything I need and then some. Wanted one for a long time and so glad I finally got one. Will be greeting one for my kid soon.

I purchased a Large Classic Messenger for work about 5 years ago, and I love it! It still looks brand new, and has everything I need. I purchased an extra small a year ago to be able to use on vacation, and it's alomst perfect. The only thing I wish the extra small had the same hidden pocket like the large does.

I will be using this to carry sketching supplies for on-the-go sketching. This bag is very roomy. The compartments inside are very useful although not plentiful, but meets my needs. It also has a separate section to carry a large tablet or laptop, which is nice so my painting supplies do not mingle with the electronics! From a cosmetic point of view, the blue is gorgeous - I would have preferred black buckles instead of matching blue buckles, but I do not dislike the blue buckles, it is just too much blue but I am sure I will grow used to it!

This bag is perfect. The color is gorgeous. The bag is sturdy and has plenty of room without seeming big and bulky! Very impressed!

Bag shipped and arrived quickly. Solid construction, quality stitching, no doubt this bag will hold up for years to come.

This is the perfect messenger bag for me to take to work and for international travel as a carry-on! I have a huge one - but this one is so much better for most everything I do. Would definitely buy it again and would also make a perfect gift! The fabric is tough and I can imagine using this for a long time.

I ordered this bag because I loved the look of it. I didn't know why it was called Bookish. Then it hit me: it's Harry Potter colors. Never been a fan but I love the bag so much that I didn't care. Not only that, I loved it so much, I immediately ordered a customized bag as well!!

When my Timbuk2 bag and computer were stolen--honestly, I was sadder about the bag! I ordered a replacement for my classic messenger bag and it did not disappoint. I take it with me everywhere, and it is comfortable, functional, and sturdy.

Very good quality bag. My daughter loves it. She needed a sturdy bag that would not break while commuting everyday and this one is it.

Hands down the best bag ever! I bought the small size to use as an everyday bag and was afraid it would be too small - not so! Lots of room - and all the compartments, pockets and features are amazing!! Immediately ordered another.

I wish I had purchased this bag two years ago when I was considering it. I am so glad I did. It was a great sale and it exceeded my expectations. There are so many compartments and this bag is made very well. I was kind of worried about how the small looked, but actually I was surprised when I started putting stuff in it. It fit my professional camera, my old MacBook Pro and there's still room for my everyday stuff and more. It's not bulky at all and you can really stuff this bag. The materials are comfortable and light and I can't wait to take it on my bike. This is a great everyday bag for school, work, gym, leisure, etc. I will be getting my kids each a bag for school very soon. I Love it!

I have had a small messenger bag - purple and natural, that I have used intensively, almost constantly since 2003. I would really like it to wear out, as I'd like another color. But it's still fine. I wash it, and other than some slight wear inside, it looks almost new. It's still holds most of my junk. It's still comfortable to swing over my shoulder. It still repels rain. The quality is superb.

I use the bag for school, errands and everything. It's the perfect size. I love the pockets and how the pockets don't sag down even when loaded. It holds my laptop, a jacket, wallet and what ever I find at the store, usually. Only suggestion would be to add a zippered pocket where the handle is on the back for phone, keys... I love Timbuk2 for their quality construction and how great the bags look.

Received my xs messenger for Christmas 10 years ago and absolutely love it. My wife has gone through 6 purses during my time with the Timbuktu messenger. Great for hiking, airplanes, kayaking, altogether perfect when a backpack is too much. Also great in tandem with a backpack. Bought one for my college bound son this holiday season after he admirably commented on the versatility and durability of my handbag.

Great commuter bag for work. Nice upgrades since my last one that lasted forever.

I love this bag. I will never ever ever have another bag. You guys rock!!!!!!
