Tech Vault
Experience the next level of tech care with our 360-degree EVA High Density Foam Vault. Your devices are cocooned from the chaos of the daily grind, in a fortress built for the digital age. This entire bag is lined with impact resistant foam that not only guards your gear, but helps give the bag its unique svelte shape.
Storm Shield Lid
Our Storm-Shield lid is your impenetrable shield against the elements. Not only is the main lid covering the top of the bag made with a high-tech Carbonate coated waterproof membrane fabric, the entire bag is constructed of the same fabric. The RĀVEN Messenger is your unyielding ally against any storm.
Magnetic Buckles
We chose easy to use magnetic buckles to make getting into your Messenger Bag an easy one-handed operation. The magnets in these buckles are self locating and make closing the buckles quick and easy. The buckles are also designed in a way that makes them a great theft deterrent.
Organizational Excellence, Exterior
With four external pockets and 9 internal pockets, your gear is not just stored — it’s orchestrated.
Two external secure vertical zippered pockets are perfect for quick access to your phone, charging cables, battery, or wallet.
The external zippered front pocket is perfect for receipts or passport. Behind the zippered pocket is an easy access pocket for your kerchief.
Internal Capaciousness
The front interior panel of the bag includes a central office pod, equipped with specialized pockets for pens, dongles, and stretch mesh compartments for cards and AirPods. Additionally, each side of the panel houses a micro-chamois pocket, ideal for storing items like reading glasses or a mouse.
Above the front pockets is a zippered pocket, perfect for a book, and a secure lanyard with snap-hook for your keys.
The back wall has an expandable compartment and a dedicated tablet pocket. The 16″ Macbook Pro and iPad Pro will fit in either the 12L or 16L Messenger bags.
Two collapsable padded silos cradle your SLR or water bottle (one on each side). Two low-profile magnetic side pockets for random accoutrements ~ one on each side behind the collapsable silo. A built-in hidden stash pocket is perfect for an AirTag or, well, your stash…
Both the 12L and 16L Messenger will fit most DSLR camera gear. The photo below show a full body DSLR with 6″ x 4″ lenses. The Silos and side pockets are also ideal for drone batteries, and drones and their controllers fit great in the FARA Messengers.
Bespoke Luxe Details: A Fusion of Form and Function
We spared no expense in developing premium trims. Our custom-molded zipper pulls are a testament to our dedication to detail, featuring a sophisticated co-molding of translucent and opaque materials.
Rapid Adjust Convenience
Our shoulder strap is simply the best. Period. The luxe padded strap is wrapped in breathable air-mesh and is supported by a structural exoskeleton. This is backpack technology in a messenger bag strap. Gone are the days of a flimsy pad slipping around on the webbing. 
The quick adjust custom buckle makes one-handed strap adjustment a cinch.
The ambidextrous strap easily attaches to either side with our custom metal hardware for right shoulder or left shoulder carry.
Back it Up with Comfort
Air-mesh and raised foam padding keep you comfortable and cool, while keeping the bag from slipping around on your back. 
The grab handle doubles as a luggage pass through.
Piggyback Pairing
The Sling easily attaches to the Messenger for travel safety and convenience. Two hidden straps deploy from the RĀVEN Messenger and attach to the VALR Sling, allowing you to travel with the peace of mind knowing that your bags are securely attached to each other. Double up and double down!
Safety Meets Convenience
Our Messenger Bags feature a subtle 6-point reflectivity ensuring you are visible during night-time escapades while keeping a low profile by day.

Lifespan Materials
At FARA, ‘green’ isn’t just a buzzword; it’s our philosophy, stitched into every design decision. We’ve scrutinized the sustainability of recycled materials and found they don’t always equate to being greener, often being more expensive and less durable. Our commitment? Durable bags for life, minimizing waste and maximizing use. Our goal is to produce bags that will last a lifetime. This is also why we have partnered with the top-tier manufacturing partner.
We meticulously select the most durable materials to craft FARA bags, and we back our construction with a robust warranty. Our Nylon fabrics are ridiculously strong—outlasting recycled materials by at least 25%. We are dedicated to crafting bags that are not just good but exceptional, paying close attention to every detail and constantly refining our designs to ensure superior performance and style.
