New Drop: Citizen Messenger

The Citizen Messenger is the bag that started it all for Chrome — born from the streets and designed to handle anything life throws your way. Now, we’ve taken this iconic messenger and given it a serious upgrade, making it lighter, faster, and more functional than ever before–now offered in two sizes 15L and 24L.

The details of the new Citizen Messenger

First off, the revamped Citizen sheds some major weight—20-30% lighter depending on the size—without compromising its signature durability. This isn’t the bulky bag of the past; it’s streamlined for today's bike commuters and everyday warriors. And speaking of upgrades, we’ve added a left-right swappable shoulder strap so you can carry your gear comfortably, no matter which side works best for you. Plus, there’s a brand-new laptop sleeve for your tech essentials and a swappable seatbelt buckle, so you can customize your style on the fly.

This bag isn’t just about carrying stuff; it’s designed to make your life easier. The organization game is next level, helping you keep track of all your essentials, while the updated materials make the Citizen lighter without losing any of the durability we’re known for. And, of course, we’ve kept it PFAs-free and eco-friendly, using recycled materials like nylon and polyester throughout. 

The insides of the new Citizen Messenger

In short, the new Citizen Messenger is everything you loved about the original—just better, faster, and more functional. Whether you're biking through city streets or hustling through your daily commute, this bag has your back (literally).
