All orders received after 5pm Oct 23rd will be processed and made in early December. David is out on an expedition for all of November. He’s gear testing but mostly having a huge adventure by riding 1800km around Tassie. If you are wondering why your bag isn’t being made - check out the Tassie Gift Bikepacking race.If you would like a unique bag, then personalising your Huon Messenger by adding some bling is the way to go!
Choose from a range of beautiful and stylish materials for your lining and shoulder flash. Finish your customisation by matching the lining with your outer canvas colour and magic happens – a very beautiful bag is now yours. When lined, this functional bag becomes stunning.
Originally designed to carry mail and goods by Pony Express riders, Outware’s bag is a sleek version of a timeless classic. If you don’t have a horse that’s fine, you’ll still look great with it slung over your shoulder in an urban environment and it’s an ideal carry on bag for the plane. Big enough for a laptop and some books, sturdy enough to carry all your bits and pieces for a day out in town.
It has a zip pocket to keep your valuables safe and a divider to make good use of the space. Made from quality Aussie canvas, it’s water resistant, durable and stylish.
The canvas of the Huon Messenger will age gracefully and develop a patina of use over time, all adding to its look and appeal.

Care
Some canvas and material care tips
The lining material is much thinner than the outer canvas, be careful when placing objects into your bag, otherwise you may tear the lining fabric. Tearing is not warrantable.
To help maximise the durability and life of your canvas, please follow these instructions carefully – this will allow you to enjoy many years of excellent service and satisfaction from your Outware canvas product.
- If you want to maximise the waterproofness of your product – then an initial wetting will help shrink the fabric and stitching. It is not necessary to do this for your product to work well – it is just an optimisation process. If you wish to do this, then prior to using your Outware canvas product we recommend that you thoroughly wet your canvas with a domestic hose and let it dry fully in the sun.
- Store, pack or rollup only when clean and dry.
- To remove dirt, brush dry fabric with soft brush. (An occasional hosing may remove dust and some ingrained dirt – hang on the line to dry).
- Never scrub the fabric. It will remove some of the dye and create a visible spot. Dab with a clean, damp cloth to remove any marks.
- Do not expose to petrol, oil or chemicals.
- Immediately remove deposits of organic matter (such as soil, grass cuttings, leaf litter, bird droppings, vehicle exhaust, pollutants, etc).
- Remove any mildew, as it appears, first by soft brushing, then by treating with diluted chlorine bleach (typically 1 part White King to 4 parts water to achieve 1% available chlorine). Allow to dry in full sun, then hose well to remove any residue. Adhere to the ratio, otherwise you may “bleach” the fabric.
- Do not use strong bleaches such as ‘pool chlorine’.
- Do not use soaps, detergents, solvents, or other liquid cleaners.Exposure to the elements and excessive cleaning may affect the water proofness and appearance of the canvas. Occasional rejuvenation of your canvas is recommended. Additional proofing may help re-invigorate the canvas. Only use one type of proofing agent on your canvas. Fluoro-chemicals like Scotch guard may be used on all fabrics. Only reproof® by defab® is recommended to be used on your canvas.

Love this bag, have always been looking for something practical and well made to carry all the extra stuff we seem to accumulate in modern times. The Huon Messenger is constructed from excellent quality components, well made and very functional. Thank you Outware for providing a functional item that will last so long, I am thinking to include it in my will!
David Clota –
After 30 years of business travel, I’ve found the ideal work carry bag!
I’ve been complimented by other commuters on the evident craftsmanship and unique, stylish design of the Huon Messenger.
Fitting everything I need for interstate commutes (iPad, notepads, headphones and associated chargers) this is the perfect bag for business travel.
Chrissie –
The perfect commuter bag for work and play. Black, stylish and strong on the outside, this beauty is having a sneaky psychedelic 60s party on the inside. The Huon Messenger fills me with joy and protects my gear, its got room for the laptop, and other useful pockets for A4 size papers and phone, specs and keys. I’m now a hardcore Outware fan, having a bag for every occasion.

My old bag, bought in Edinburgh 15 years ago – finally gave up the ghost! I went on an unsatisfying search for a replacement. One day, I wandered down to the Salamanca Market and there was the Huon Messenger Bag. It is exactly right – handmade with real craftsmanship, quality materials and a killer lining! It is already part of my daily life, and rapidly becoming an all-time favourite. Outware will become an iconic Tassie brand.
Marc Price –
This is not the first product from Outware I’ve purchased, I have several of their products and again I’m super happy with this bag… very durable, well made and stylish, catching the eye of many friends that have jumped on the Outware bandwagon…. so as far as a review goes, get on these beautiful Australian made products, you won’t be disappointed….
