Hello! This is Seki, the store manager of the outdoor shop FITTWO in Ueno!

Today, I’d like to introduce the brand-new “COURIER FLAP MSNGR” messenger bag, released in 2025 by the American bag brand CHROME!

CHROME was founded in the United States in 1995 and is known for its durable and functional messenger bags and backpacks. Thanks to their excellent usability, CHROME products are highly popular among cyclists, commuters, and everyday users across all age groups.

Our store carries a wide range of CHROME bags, and many customers love their practicality and stylish designs.

【CHROME】COURIER FLAP MSNGR

The “COURIER” series messenger bag has a simple appearance but is packed with convenient features! It offers a different feel compared to previous CHROME messenger bags.

Let’s take a closer look at its features!

Basic Specifications

The “COURIER” series comes in two sizes: a compact 6L version and a larger 20L version.

The 6L size is ideal for short outings, while the larger 20L version includes a dedicated laptop pocket, making it suitable for commuting and school use.

The flap closure uses a **magnetic fastener**, allowing for easy one-handed opening!

The magnet is also placed inside the flap, allowing for quick and easy access to your belongings by simply lifting the flap.

The strap can be adjusted to secure additional items on top of the bag!

CHROME’s Signature Buckle

Large 20L Size

The larger version features CHROME’s iconic **metal buckle**, allowing for quick and easy strap adjustments, so you can access your items instantly.

It also comes with a handle, so you can carry it as a handbag!

Additionally, the 20L version includes a **stabilizer strap**, preventing the bag from shifting when cycling or leaning forward.

Small 6L Size

The smaller version features a lightweight and simplified plastic buckle instead of a metal one! It can also be easily adjusted for a tighter or looser fit.

The small size does not include a stabilizer strap, but one can be purchased separately and attached if needed!

Storage Compartments

Next, let’s explore the storage compartments of each size!

Small 6L Size

Starting with the smaller version, opening the flap reveals a spacious main compartment that can easily fit a water bottle.

Inside, you’ll find a mesh pocket made of stretchable fabric, as well as a simple pocket for additional storage.

On the front, there is a phone-sized pocket, and on the back side, a zippered pocket is included!

A key ring is also attached to the side.

The small version is designed with a minimalistic approach, featuring only the essential storage compartments!

Large 20L Size

Now, let’s check out the storage features of the larger version! Traditional CHROME messenger bags often had a simple large compartment under the flap with only a few front pockets. However, this model comes with various pockets for better organization!

It includes a padded laptop sleeve, a bottle pocket on the side, and an organizer with mesh pockets.
