"HOBO 26" Messenger Bag Large is a large-sized messenger bag model that combines cutting-edge original functional materials with a classic shape.
"Neo-Classic Messenger Bag"
A bicycle culture originating from the ‘bicycle messenger’ and ‘fixed-gear bike’ movements that sparked a major trend in the early 2000s. This new proposal from beruf baggage pays homage to that era, when passion was poured into messenger bags and fixed-gear bikes in pursuit of unseen new styles and originality for self-expression, while blending contemporary functional materials.
The generously sized L model delivers supreme performance as an all-in-one bag capable of handling any urban mission. Guided by the philosophy of “less is more”, it pursues universal functionality: intuitive handling, comfort suited to usage conditions, easy-care maintenance, and robust durability.
This series incorporates the new reflective material ‘CUSTOM DISPLAY™’, which combines safety, design and customisation. The detachable black plate attached to the flap of the main exterior features a textured design printed in matching black. When illuminated in the dark, the reflective function causes the printed design to clearly stand out.
*One design selected at the time of order will be included with ‘CUSTOM DISPLAY™’.
"BE-TEX01™"
This item features "BE-TEX01™", the ideal textile for bags, born from the collaboration between beruf baggage and the CORDURA® brand.
【Durability】CORDURA® Ballistic Fabric is densely woven in a 2x2 basket weave, delivering an ideal strength-to-weight ratio and excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing.
【Sustainability】CORDURA re/cor™ fabric is manufactured by recycling materials recovered from industrial waste into high-quality yarn.
【Waterproofing】"BE-TEX01™" is a three-layer waterproof material featuring L-VENT™ film laminated between a specialised textile and nylon tricot.
"CUSTOM DISPLAY™"
"CUSTOM DISPLAY™" by beruf baggage is a novel customisation concept born from Tokyo's diverse cultural crossroads. The Velcro panel on the bag's front allows you to freely attach CUSTOM DISPLAY™ components to suit your preferences. Day and night, work and leisure, city and nature. You can change the bag's appearance to match the scene.
This component combines 3M Scotchlite™ reflective material for enhanced night-time safety with an original textured print. It offers practical functionality that boosts visibility and security, while retaining a touch of playful design. Collaboration pieces inspired by culture—spanning fashion, art, architecture, food, music and sport—serve as a display to convey your personal tastes, transforming your bag into a tool for sharing your story.
"CUSTOM DISPLAY™" customisation is not merely a function, but a new form of expression. The bag evolves into a portable “self-media”.
"TOKYO EXPLORING"
Since its establishment in 2006, beruf baggage has pursued “functional beauty for those living in the city” while practising a bicycle-centred lifestyle.
In 2026, marking its 20th anniversary, the brand launched the “TOKYO EXPLORING” project to share its philosophy with a wider audience and redefine the concept of “tools for urban living”. Embracing the complexity and diversity of Tokyo, it proposes new “tools for exploration” from the perspective of those who live there.
Intuitive operability, comfort tailored to usage conditions, easy-care maintenance, and robust durability form its universal functionality. Furthermore, through collaborative projects with artists and creators across diverse fields, it incorporates customisability to express users' personal preferences and entertainment value that resonates with culture.
Amidst the ever-changing cityscape, enduring practicality remains. Universal functionality and design that breathes with the times. That is the essence of "TOKYO EXPLORING" products.
