Description

OMposten brings the old-school messenger style into today. The shape feels familiar, but the material gives it a completely different presence.

Cut from retired fire hoses and shaped by hand, the bag keeps its structure and strength. It protects your laptop and essentials without extra bulk. Inside, there’s an inner pocket to keep smaller items organised. You can also choose to add a dedicated laptop compartment.

The adjustable shoulder strap makes it comfortable to wear across your body or over one shoulder. The surface shows subtle markings and texture from the hose’s previous life, giving the bag depth and individuality. It looks classic. It feels solid. And it’s built to last.

Who is this for

• For people who love the classic messenger shape but want something stronger and more distinctive

Out of the ordinary

Because each bag is cut from a different section of fire hose, texture, markings and structure vary slightly per piece.
