Western Life & Style
Don't Shoot the Messenger
by LaTOYA S. WATKINS
The folks at Old Gringo are known for handcrafting traditional cowboy boots and Western wear while also offering unique, contemporary styles. Tipping their hat to the past, they'll be sure to help you kick up your heels in the latest fashions. The Abilene messenger bag is the perfect example.
The oversize bag is both practical and stylish, sporting a subtle but surprising leopard print with a contrasting tan buckle design that lends a rustic edge. The small outside pocket is equipped with a magnetic snap closure, so there are no noisy zippers or difficult drawstrings to distract from the clean style. The adjustable strap will easily accommodate all of your shifting needs, while the interior zippered pocket and open cell phone pocket allow added room and protection for all the little gadgets that you like to keep at your side.
