Pony Express Messenger Bag

Pony Express Messenger Bag, was specifically knitted/felted with gorgeous subtle neutral tones using exquisitely beautiful wool yarns to pay homage to a great time in our country when the pony express riders began to carry mail on horseback in April of 1860. That time in history was brief but picturesque and the pony express lives in legend as well as history. With this messenger bag I pay homage to that time and to the manager of the pony express-Alexander Majors of Kentucky. You will not need a horse to carry this beautiful bag and it is a modern version of an old messenger tradition. This computer/notebook bag contains two interior pockets, knitted/felted in the same gorgeous yarns and the pockets handstitched to each interior side of the bag where the three inch wide knitted/felted strap is handstitched to the bag after the felting process. Knitted in a lovely striping pattern the interior is as lovely as the exterior. The interior base is reinforced with canvas webbing and also with lovely fabric covered needlepoint foamcore for added strength, durability (also reminiscent of pony express riders). The flap attaches to the bag with two gold magnetic clasps and the exterior of the flap is embellished with two russet colored wooden fashion buttons to add beauty and a sign of the old west with its gorgeous, open range countryside. The two interior pockets can hold a computer/notebook cord and the battery charger. Stylish, unique and very much a part of our nation's history one can imagine crossing this beautiful country on horseback carrying invaluable information. Pony Express Messenger Bag-a timeless piece.
