Compact but uber-tough messenger bag
The original Chrome Industries messenger bag has become a genuine urban icon. It continues to be used and abused by pro couriers and bike messengers in some of the world’s biggest cities. This small-scale version is built just as tough. In fact, to maximise durability and weatherproofness, every Mini Metro is made twice. The inside liner is crafted from 18oz truck tarpaulin, while the outer is made from abrasion-resistant 1050 denier military-grade nylon. And despite its smaller size, it has the details as its iconic bigger brother. That includes the signature metal buckle, inspired by vintage car seatbelts, that has marked out Chrome’s messenger bags since the start. It will stay buckled in any situation but releases quickly to take the load off. It also saves you from having to pull the strap of a heavy bag over your head. Look closely and you’ll also see it has a hidden extra – an integrated bottle opener so you can crack open a beer after a hard day’s riding.

Over two decades ago, Chrome made their first bag using a Juki sewing machine, a few yards of industrial-grade nylon, some military grade truck tarpaulin and a seatbelt buckle salvaged from an old car. That original messenger bag with its signature buckle was soon adopted by bike couriers across the globe and became an urban icon.
Today, Chrome Industries remain committed to making useful, durable gear for people who live, work and ride in the city. Everything they do celebrates the beating heart of the city and the unique collisions of creativity, culture and community that form the essential elements of urban life. These products are purpose-built for those who work hard, play hard and ride hard.
