 * Why does this article link to Diplomatic bag?
 * Should it not? Ewlyahoocom 01:32, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * They are two rather different things. Mathmo Talk 14:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What about [Satchel (bag)]? What's the difference, exactly? -RoSeeker 09:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Satchel is (basically) a subset of messenger bag. Satchel is often leather and mostly for papers. Rakerman (talk) 19:07, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * IT'S JUST A BAG! If it has one strap, it can be slid around to the back.  It's about how you use it, rather than any "design".  After someone cleans up this article, there won't be anything left.  Merge with another article on bag designs, where people who are not messenger-bag-afficionados will throw out the all this extraneous stuff having to do with a fad. --Flyswatting (talk) 12:03, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Messenger Bag Vs Satchel
What is the difference between a Messenger bag and a satchel. This should be included in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.129.99 (talk) 04:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This is clarified in the Satchel (bag) article. Rakerman (talk) 19:08, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

A year or so after the fact, but: messenger bags are designed specifically to be worn on the back, not at one's side. Some of the smaller bags can be worn at the side, like a purse or satchel, but the point is still that they be worn on the back, to facilitate biking while wearing it.

Upper/Mid Back
There are some styles of bags that have a single strap designed and the bag moulded in such a way as to fit only on your upper or mid back. e.g. Should these also be considered messenger bags, despite the definition specifying lower back? Rakerman (talk) 19:25, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Redirect
Why does fag bag redirect here? Most people use it to denote a fanny pack. Halofanatic333 (talk) 12:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
