The Citizen Messenger. Upgraded.

Level Up

In Fall 2024, the Citizen Messenger got a full upgrade. Guided by user feedback, we took the iconic 24L bag to the next level with smart new features. Tech carry was most important—a zippered front laptop pocket keeps your gear close. Next up: the option for left or right shoulder carry, a quick-grab handle, and swappable buckle technology, done. We even lightened things up with a recycled auto-glass liner. Same heritage, smarter design—always pushing forward.

    Perfect get around town bag

    Perfect size for my grocery run or even that quick flight with no checked baggage. Or clothes shopping, or heading out with my laptop and snacks for the park, ...

    Basically, I don't leave home without it.

    Yep, I’m for it.

    I’m new to Chrome’s products, just bought my first Citizen bag here in 2025. I was leery given mixed reviews from people who had experienced their older bags from back in the day, but I took the risk anyway.

    The materials are as hefty as you can get without making the bag weigh a ton. I like the large design as it distributes the load across my whole back, and while the strap is stiff, it is breaking in and proving to be awesome. LOVE the magnetic flap pockets.

    I am puzzled by the sheer size/footprint of the bag given its capacity, but I’m such a sucker for the NYC courier aesthetic that I’m cool with it. Should I have got the Kadet Max? Yeah, probably, but I’m digging this bag.
