Heading to class with school books, notebooks and gadgets, the Rothco Bio-hazard Vintage Canvas Messenger Bag carries the load and makes a statement doing it. A neon green bio-hazard symbol stands out on the front flap of black washed cotton canvas, and shell loops line the front. Four pockets and snap closures keep notebooks and gadgets in order, while the adjustable, detachable strap with a shoulder pad keeps the walk between classes comfortable.

Why it works:

  • Easy to spot in a crowded hallway: The neon green bio-hazard symbol on the front flap stands out clearly against the black canvas.
  • Holds the school day: School books, notebooks and gadgets each get a place, spread across 4 pockets.
  • Contents stay closed in: Snap closures keep the bag shut as you move from one class to the next.
  • Easier on heavy book days: The adjustable, detachable strap includes a shoulder pad to ease the load.
  • Vintage canvas character: Washed cotton canvas gives the bag its worn-in vintage look, and it weighs 1.4 lbs before anything goes inside.

Who it's built for:

Made for students who carry school books, notebooks and gadgets to class every day.

Bag is sturdy and the strap has good support. Doesn’t hurt my shoulders when I have a lot of stuff inside. I only wear it as a cross body so I’m not sure if it’ll hurt if you wear it on only one shoulder like a purse w heavy things.
