The messenger bag was invented during the 1950's in New York City. According to legend, Globe Canvas, then operated by Frank Demartini, started manufacturing the bags for telephone linemen. The bags were durable, thick, and practical to hang on the pole in order to access tools. Later, during the 1970's, bicycle delivery boys started to use the messenger bags to carry their goods as it was far more effective than previous methods.
