For once, I'm going to be sensible.
They cost more money because they're extremely well made, well researched and designed to stand up to many years of daily work and abuse. For the most part, they're made in small runs by tiny factories who specialise in what they do. Maybe it's a bit like buying a suit from Saville Row rather than Asda.
The legit messenger bag companies don't use far eastern (ie cheap) labour, either.
