Bridal Messenger Bag*
The durable canvas messenger bag is great for everyday use.
Modeled after our Trek Computer Brief, this small bridal messenger bag is perfect for day trips. It comes in sage green/ivory, ivory/turquoise, or pink/silver, soft two-tone combinations that sit happily beside a bridesmaid dress and just as happily beside jeans on a Saturday morning. At 14-1/4"W x 10-3/8"H x 3-1/2"D it is the size you actually reach for, big enough for a tablet, a folder, a water bottle and everything that gets handed to you on a wedding morning, small enough that it never feels like luggage.
It is built to be used rather than admired. The buckle closure keeps the flap down on a train platform, the interior zip pocket holds the things you cannot afford to lose, phone, keys, the ring box on the day, and the adjustable, removable shoulder strap means it can hang across the body on a long walk or come off entirely and travel as a hand carry. Made from a durable canvas/nylon blend, the Bridal Messenger Bag shrugs off rain on the way to a rehearsal dinner and wipes down after a day at the beach.
Have your bridesmaids or maid of honor's name embroidered on the bag for a personal touch. Personalization is included, up to 8 characters, which is room for a first name, a nickname or initials, and it is the detail that turns six identical bags on a hotel bed into six gifts that each belong to someone. Hand them out at the rehearsal, already packed with the things each lady will need the next morning.
Long after the wedding, this is the bag that goes on the plane, on the day trip and into the office. That is the quiet advantage of the Bridal Messenger Bag over a favor that lives in a drawer: it is a canvas/nylon bag with a name on it, and named things get kept. HansonEllis has been embroidering gifts like this in-house since 1999.

Which one should I choose
A bridal party gift is either something for the day or something for the years after it. A named bag tries to be both.
| Bridal Messenger Bag | Choose it when each lady should get a day-trip bag with her name embroidered on it, with a buckle closure, zip pocket and removable strap. |
|---|---|
| A small tote or pouch favor | Choose it when the gift only has to carry the getting-ready things on the wedding morning. |
| An unembroidered messenger bag | Choose it when every bag can be identical and nobody's name needs to be on the flap. |
For a bridal party, the Bridal Messenger Bag is the pick, because personalization is included and a bag with her own name on it does not get given away.
