mini messenger_b@g v2

Prešiel rok a je tu ďalší post o tom, že mám nový messenger bag. Mini messenger_b@g doslúžil vinou zlej kombinácie materiálov - skrátka, stredný panel sa prešúchal pri nosení a tiež stratil farbu. Pri používaní som zistil, že je troška malý aj na to minimum, čo som v nom nosil. Takže poučený, som si navrhol troska väčší a z pár modifikáciami, ktoré som za ten rok odpozoroval. Hlavne dve predné kapsy a väčší vnútorný priestor a v neposlednom rade dlhšia predná chlopňa, aby ho bolo možné pohodlne zavrieť aj keď bude plný.
