Journalcase

A simple clean handcrafted leather case in which to carry your laptop. Bythread's Journalcase is available in 2 sizes to fit your 13 or 15 inch, 3 colors, and features a foamed inner layer for protection. Space is tight in this bag so while perfect for a trip to the café, dedicated road warriors might look elsewhere.

Their Shouldercase has received allot of attention lately but I prefer the look of this one except the green -- never could I imagine recommending green leather.

BookBook MacBook Case

Laptop cases keep getting more inventive. What thief would be interested in swiping a worn book? The BookBook is a new case that allows you to carry your MacBook and MacBook pro disguised an old book. With a soft padded interior, thick hardcover front and rear panels and a rigid spine this case should provide more than enough protection for your laptop. Each BookBook is made by hand with unique distressing, ensuring no two are exactly alike.

Fantastic attention to detail and an interesting juxtaposition between the old and the new.

Clark & Mayfield Moreland Laptop Bag

It's not difficult to find reasonably priced bags these days but finding the same with great design that suits your personal style can still be a challenge. I've shared a couple bags from Clark & Mayfield and I've always come away impressed with their products.

Their Moreland Laptop Messenger Bag is possesses beautiful clean lines from the bottom of the bag through the middle to the strap. I like how the strap is integrated with the rest of the bag as it helps to create a more cohesive look. The bag features a well-padded laptop compartment, plenty of pockets and that shoulder strap with a 15"-21" drop length. I'm partial to their steel gray but the bag is available in blue and green as well.

Lauri Delaczay started Clark & Mayfield with her husband Barry to simplify life by providing truly functional, yet fashionable bags to use everyday from home to work and school. Their belief is that functional products need not be unattractive, something I think we can all agree with.

Attache Case in Wool

I'm not a big fan of pleats on anything, at least with respect to mens accessories or apparel, but I do like the look of leather and wool together. And I can appreciate the quality of materials in this custom attache case in wool with heavy duck canvas. It's a beautiful piece from Minneapolis based sketchbook. The Attache Case is made to fit your laptop and has a convenient pocket in the front for all your other stuff. I always like the look of leather strap and buckle closures.

Laptop Bag Roundup

With so many laptop bags featuring interesting forms, flamboyance and color, it's refreshing to see a collection of bags which are more traditional and understated in their design. The following ten laptop bags are for those who prefer more traditional styling, appreciate quality and want a bag that will last.

Chelsea Cargo Sling

The nicest bag I will likely never own. The chelsea cargo sling is reminiscent of the custom leather bags that were so popular with many of my friends in the 80s. Reminiscent in terms of craftmanship and quality but certainly not in style and price. If you look at it as a long term investment the $770.00US price might gain a new perspective.

Handcrafted from genuine Italian leather. Metal zip closure, antiqued hardware and adjustable buckle strap. Interior features include zip compartment, multi-functional slip pockets, pen loop and key clip. Lined with our vibrant Japanese-motif cotton print. Protective cotton dustcover for storage.

You can purchase this beautiful bag direct from Begeren for $770.00US.

Nanda Lapsac

These innovative bags from Nanda, the makers of clocky, feature a padded front pouch to carry your laptop; a delightful departure from the norm. The Nanda Lapsac comes in a number of different colours and patterns, ending the boring corporate look, and is big enough to carry all that you might need throughout the day. The lapsac is replete with 4 inner pockets, is made from cotton canvas and a waterproof nylon interior. I think it looks amazing.
