Modular article carrying system

Abstract

A carrying system made up of at least two article carriers and straps that interconnect the two article carriers in a saddle bag fashion or alternatively a single carrier with two back pack straps or a single carrier with a narrower single shoulder strap. The strap configurations are removably attached to the carriers through a common interface that is accessible, convenient to lock and unlock and eliminates the danger of dangling unused strap or straps that are incorrectly attached. Provisions are made for carrying computers, hand held electronic devices, passports, writing supplies outer clothing, umbrellas, newspapers, magazines. Other provisions of a preferred embodiment include leather construction, reinforced corners and flaps, collapsing side panels, insignia, leather straps and buckles and all built on the aesthetic of the Western United States saddlebag motif.
