Review on Loiee Vintage Canvas Messenger Bag: Stylish, Practical, and Waterproof School Shoulder Bag by Jeff Langford

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Withstood a lot of abuse

My husband and I serve and run beer tents at major Chicago music festivals. We will work 3-4 days à 14 hours in these beer tents. One of our most time-consuming and recurring duties is emptying the tip buckets and counting those little bills so we can give change to the bartenders at the register. Each of us needs a strong bag that we can carry over our shoulder (to make it harder for someone to steal us) that we can keep filling with wet, crumpled money. We dash through beer, red bull, mixed drinks, water, ice, mud, dust, etc. These bags never leave us. We were delighted that they had a great run at Riot Fest 2021 last weekend. It was four days of abuse and the bags were delivered late. The zippers are intact, there are no protruding threads, the straps are not damaged. I tossed it in the washing machine yesterday on the gentle cycle and it looked almost brand new. I hung them up to dry. I won't try it dry. These bags held up well and were a great size for our needs. I still find the price a bit high because they are not stylish at all, but that's ok. I ordered pink for myself and it was half the price which is much better value for money. All in all, I'm glad I bought this bag. We usually use Timbuk2 but we're looking for something a lot cheaper and this fits the bill.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Volume
