Ita Standard Messenger Bag

Really well made, the compartments fit all the things I need. Although I will say, the way it’s advertised I thought it would be a BIT smaller than this. If this is the standard, I wonder how big the jumbo is. And my other criticism is that the cup holder is REALLY tiny, even for small cups, it just barely fits

I LOVE this bag. I just had to replace the one I got back in 2023 because the zipper to the main compartment came off, but that was more from rough manhandling at a bag check, but this gives me an opportunity to gush about the minor improvements made to the hardware: I love that the bag strap now has a shoulder guard to cushion the bag on your shoulder. This makes a world of difference whether you're commuting via public transportation or just wating in a Comic Con queue. I also really love that the hardware is actually branded with "It's My Obsession" as I can now proudly show off the brand when folks ask about my pins. The main attraction of the pin window and interchangeable pin boards is still there, and while my original bag may have bit the big one, I now have a new pin board to decorate. That said, this is literally my every day bag; I get compliments on my pins on the regular. If you like to travel, I also recommend the Jumbo size; I traveled to Japan and used it as a suitcase/travel bag when visiting Tokyo. :)

Very nice product!

It took SOOO long to find an Ita Messenger Bag that was not just a basic purse as far as sizing. I wanted this to bring to work with my 14-15" laptop and not be concerned about the size. I can't upload the picture, but it's about halfway filled out for the window area. So why only 4 stars? Well, I would have done 4. 5 stars for one reason (rather than the 4 stars that is), and that's because the window area is fairly cramped. The pin backs come off just a little too easily due to the space limitations when moving the pin holder deal within the space.
