Don't Shoot the Messenger


I made a messenger bag. Actually, I refashioned a men's suit jacket into a messenger bag. It was a Ermenegildo Zegna camel hair and silk suit jacket. The horsehair interfacing is new. Same with the braid. The blue pockets are from fabric I found in the home decor department of the fabric store. And the grey/blue striped fabric is 100% vintage wool.

The interior is finished with lining from the suit jacket. It incorporates the suit pockets inside and on the front flap.
