September is upon us and many folks are back in school, lugging around books and laptops in boring old backpacks. Now’s a great time to explore the custom messenger bag options Sacramento has to offer.
Marty May,

This ultra heavy duty denim bag with bight striped accents is the perfect way to make a statement on campus or in the office this fall. Featuring two snapping outside pockets, an expandable inside chamber and two inside pockets for organization, this local designer crafted these bags with functionality in mind.
