What’s funny about this review is my wife has more bags than I can handle. Every closet I open in my house I see bags. So to do this I gained another bag, though since it was for me I did not mind.
I am a commuter and currently use a messenger bag so switching over to this was not a big deal for me. I do not bring a lot of things either. The RetroActif Small Messenger bag was perfectly sized for all the items I bring to and from work. The material of the bag itself is extremely sturdy, made from recycled street pole banners, giant billboards and wall scapes. I have always wondered what happened to all that stuff after they were done being used for advertising.
It rained the day I used it but was confident it would hold up. I loaded my book, keys, water bottle and some paperwork and was on my way. The bag worked great, all my stuff was completely dry with the water being repelled by the strong materials. I also looked good trudging through the storm on my walk from the Port Authority to the Office since it has an appealing design as well. I?ll be using this bag quite a bit from now on.
Between the craftsmanship and the artistic look of the bag this is a fit for a lot of people. If you need something bigger they offer a full sized messenger bag and plenty of other handbags. They also make hats and smaller accessory items such as wallets. It is nice to see a company take an environmental stance and offer fashionable and attractive wares. RetroActif, keep up the good work!
