Are you looking for that perfect, stylish carry bag for fall? Your pup is back in play school. Maybe you work in a dog friendly office. Or you’re taking that trip you’ve been waiting for, now that the kids are back in school. However you roll, having a comfortable, eco-friendly, great-looking bag is key. And, for streamlined transporting, nothing beats a messenger. Here’s my tip for a cool messenger bag I love.
My choice
The brand is Bark n Bag. Their fresh, new Organic Outback Messenger Bag is your answer for a smart, stylish pet tote for fall. It comes in trending black denim, is chic, versatile and comfortable. Classic lines means it never goes out of style and looks great for both men and women. And, I love that the black denim is made from pesticide-free organic cotton and is lined in recycled nylon.
If black denim is not your thing, the crisp blue Outback Messenger has smart saddle straps and is made from recycled nylon inside and out.
They all have plenty of storage space with three generous zippered pockets. You can wipe with a damp cloth to clean. And, all bags are cruelty-free, which I love. The price won’t break the bank, either, refreshing for a well-made, eco-friendly, stylish bag. The Organic Outback Messenger is $70.00; the Outback Messenger is $65.00.
What’s important to me in a pet tote?
There are a few deal breaker features I look for in a great carry bag or tote for my babies. First, it’s got to be safe, so the materials have to be high quality and its features need to be strong and durable. It needs to be comfortable. If I’m carrying Sophie around in it for a couple of hours in transit or shopping, I want to know she is happy. It needs to be practical; does it have enough storage? Can I clean it pretty easily? And last, but not least, it’s got to be stylish! I have to love a bag that will also be an accessory to my own style (or many styles, in my case. I like to mix it up!). These bags fit the bill for me, and uber fashionistas like Taylor Swift and Brooke Shields are fans, too!
Now, guess what? I’ve got a great news! One lucky Bark & Swagger follower will be winning an Outback Messenger Bag of their choice in our giveaway, so make sure to enter below!
To recap for you, here are all of the features of these great-looking bags:
- Removable tether
- Adjustable shoulder strap
- Three fur friendly mesh panels for ventilation
- Magnetic snap secure closure
- Three zippered pockets for plenty of storage
- Bottom feet to protect the bag
- The Organic Outback uses pesticide free organic cotton denim and recycled nylon lining and comes in black
- The Outback uses recycled nylon inside and out and comes in crisp blue
- Wipe with damp cloth to clean
Both the Organic Denim and the Recycled Nylon Outback Messenger comes in one size:
- 16″W x 12.5″H x 8.25″D. For pets up to 12″ long-nape to tail / 8″ high-nape to floor, up to 10 pounds
This works well for the little ones. A messenger bag isn’t meant for keeping dogs inside for long periods, like a large carry bag. It’s a tote and is perfect when you are going from here to there and don’t want a bulkier case to lug around.
The Bark n Bag Organic Outback and Outback Messenger get a big thumbs up from us for stylish dogs around town!
