BookTok Is Obsessed with These Academic-Looking Messenger Bags for Fall—and They Fit Even My Biggest Hardcovers

If you get any kind of bookish content on your TikTok feed, you’ve likely come across Ecosusi’s Jane messenger bag. Creators rave that it not only fits their Kindles, but also large physical books, despite clocking in at a wearable 11 inches long and 7.5 inches high. Being a fantasy reader myself, I wanted to know just *how* big of a book it could accommodate, since reads in this genre can easily surpass 500 pages for just one book in a series—and I’m happy to say it did not disappoint.

If you (understandably) need proof, check my video below, which shows that I was able to fit House of Flame and Shadow, the third book in the Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas, which comes in at a whopping 838 pages (not counting the bonus chapter), along with my Summer Fridays lip gloss, keys and a small hand sanitizer. You could also fit a more standard-sized book and your Kindle if you’re headed on a trip and want to have *options* (any fellow mood readers out there?). The bag’s design is truly impressive either way, especially considering its smooth faux leather material and adjustable strap that adds to its functionality. It’s no wonder the Jane messenger has racked up nearly 2,500 sales on TikTok shop alone.
