There are several names used by this bag for instance being a courier bag, mail bag, a carry all. Today, the majority of us think about this bag as the one utilized by bicycle messengers in the bigger cities. This bag is normally created in different materials, at first in cloth, canvas or other artificial material, with a shoulder strap that wraps close to the chest area enabling the bag to sit flat on the back of the consumer.

The style that began the usage today was started in the 50's by the De Martini Globe Canvas Company for utility pole workers to hold their tools.
