Thanks! Do you have a pic of it carrying it in their different ways? How do you normally carry it?
I don’t have it myself. I tried at the store at least 3 different times. It sits just right but only if I use it as a shoulder bag instead of a crossbody. Have you tried it in the store? Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful :/
 
Does anyone have the Citynews Messenger? I am interested in it and would like to hear any feedback. Size, closure, pros, cons, etc.

Thanks again!

My second pick up was a bag I was not sure about. I had my SA track down this color/ leather combo for me to check out. Went in knowing I would get the Alligator Calvi but was not sure I would leave with the bag. I should have known....

Introducing my Hermès CityNews Messenger in Bleu Nuit Togo/ Bleu Indigo Vache Hunter leather.

This bag is extremely comfortable. It hugs the body perfectly when worn cross body or on the shoulder. It is very spacious as well. It has a casual look when you wear with jeans but also a classic formal look when you wear a suit. I like this bag a lot more then I ever thought I would. These are first impressions of course as I got it today; however, I feel pretty confident that my opinion will not change.

It wouldn’t let me post two pictures at a time so here is the interior.

Very nice, featured in the mens' FW19 show. If only they did a messenger in this style - just slightly longer, wider and deeper, ala barda 30.

Totally agree! Smaller men’s messengers seem to be somewhat lacking at the moment - the Stave Caporal is only in very limited production now and hasn’t been available for PO for a few years, only push. I haven’t seen a Barda in any European stores for a number of years either.

It doesn’t help this size bag is something I’m in desperate need of at the moment, either!

Yes, it's a shame about the Steve Caporal. It has basic simplicity.
The CityNews Messenger looks good, but on closer inspection I'm not keen on the trapezoidal shape.
The very stylish Kelly style man-bag is a very promising idea, especially if developed in line with binkone's suggestion.
However the Kelly style fastening is a bit fiddly for a messenger bag - you can't just lift the flap and put your hand in because it does not lend itself well to being left unfastened.
That's what I find with my K SaD.
