Nick The Messenger Bag 13L

This was bought with 50% off, so in relatively happy with the purchase, although its most definitely NOT worth the £100 full asking price.

The material is far more glossy and plastic looking than the photos suggest, the white lining is prone to look grubby, and the front pocket buckles can be cumbersome and fiddly.

Other than that it meets my needs for a day to day satchel.

Really like the Millican brand and ethos. I am using my messenger bag for my relatively short cycle commute to work. It is really comfortable and secure with the waist strap and sits nicely on my back without moving. I thought it would pull on my shoulder but i don't even notice it. I don't carry much weight and don't need to carry a laptop. I use all the internal storage for my bits and pieces and really love the side outer zip compartment for my wallet and keys which are easily accessible without the need for unlatching the bag flap. I note that some people have found the latch system difficult but once used to it i find it easy, it's just a matter of finding the right technique. On my bag i have attached two small karibineers to the loops for the waist strap. i find this really easy then to attach and detach the strap which i then store in the rear zip compartment when not in use. It cinches really easily to make the bag secure when riding. i use the bag in the office and its really nice to have somehting 'slightly different'' from everyone else and i think it is very stylish in an understated way. As a bonus the bag seems to be very waterproof as i have already had the chance to use it in the rain. All internal items free from water! As you may have gathered, i am very pleased with this bag and love the quality. Well done Millican!!!!!

The quality was sub-standard and lowest quality. The customer service expianed that these bags were left over previosu production therefore they are lower quality. This was not indicated on the website at the time of purchase and I purchased it with previous quality in mind. I cannot trust the same will happen again. Additionally, I had to pay the cost of return myself.

Lightweight, waterproof, all the pockets – some with zips – anyone could possibly need. Superbly practical. And reasonably priced. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

This is my fourth/fifth(?) Millican bag so that probably says something (other than I'm a bit obsessed with bags!). The design is so good - zipped side pockets on the outside for drinks and stuff, elasticated inside pockets to keep stuff neatly separated away from the main compartment, padded sleeve for laptop laptop and papers, pen/pencil slots, zipped security pocket etc. Straps to synch everything down and fasten it around your waist when riding (or running from alligators). It's even got a flip out reflector! Really well thought out and made, and tough as anything. Love it!
