My boyfriend asked me if I knew of a "manly eco-friendly shoulder bag" - I was thrilled that he asked, but nothing came to mind. So I posed the question on my
Facebook page and got some great suggestions worth sharing in case you're looking for one too.

this is the one my boyfriend ended up buying
No Enemy Hemp Messenger Bag - made from heavy hemp canvas and finished with recycled bicycle inner tubes ($68) my boyfriend wanted this one, but had trouble ordering it through their website
