Matt and Nat Rohe Streamline Laptop Bag

This bag reminds me of the handcrafted bags that I used to love 20 years ago when my interest in bags, design, and mobility were just beginning. Beautiful and understated. Made with vegan leather with suede lining.

It all started with a challenge, to forego animal products for 30 days. Now almost 2 decades later Matt & Nat have established a collection of design-centric, fashion-forward accessories that is also vegan. Matt & Nat have created a vision and a brand that goes beyond fashion. it's about invoking our own human experiences and the environments that surround us.

Harveys Laptop Bag treecycle

This tough and beautiful bag for your laptop is from Harvey's Treecycle collection of seatbeltbags made from reclaimed seatbelts, organic hemp and water-based inks. It features a padded laptop divider with velcro closure, brushed nickel hardware, and a smooth zip-top closure. Harveys Original Seatbeltbags have been producing their signature seat-belt-style bag since March of 1997 and the concept still seems fresh. A testament to their quality and design. I'm a big fan of their Messenger as well.

Sherpani Rolling Laptop Bag

Not everyone has shoulders made of steel, nor lightweight netbooks, so well designed bags like Sherpani's Rolling Flite bag help ease the pain of those long hikes around expansive airport terminals. Very iconic design. I'm not a big fan of the green but I tend to be fairly conservative when it comes to such things. I do like the handles, wheels, and that they have made the effort to use recycled materials.

Hideo Wakamatsu Attache Backpack

A popular style of bag, at least for those who are carrying a Lenovo laptop. I've seen them everywhere lately.

This 3-way (handgrip, shoulder-strap, backpack) attache features backpack straps that can be deployed during your commute or trip through the airport, and stowed when you arrive at your office or meeting. High-tech hollow-threaded Japanese nylon reduces weight, increases durability, and has a shimmery look. Hideo takes advantage of the low weight to add lots of features and pockets that would be prohibitively heavy if done in a lower grade of nylon.

Clark & Mayfield Quimby Rolling Laptop Tote

It has been over a year since I shared a bag find from the catalogue of Clark & Mayfield. At that time they were introducing a new men's line and I still think their Mapleton Laptop bag is one of the nicer business briefs out there.

Their Quimby Rolling Laptop Tote has a beautiful quilted exterior complimented with leather trim and gold hardware. The nylon body and rubber coating on the bottom should keep the bag looking great for years. It should also help with clean ups the next time you drag your bag through a mud puddle as you race to grab a taxi. The interior has plenty of organizing pockets and folders, and it will fit most laptops in the 17" range.

While I generally don't like wheeled luggage of any kind, I feel it inhibits my mobility, my wife recently reminded me that not everyone can walk for hours with a heavy laptop on their back (or shoulder). She also complained that I don't write enough about products that might interest women. I'm going to change that with the help of some new friends of the next month.

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.

Here are a few other notable bags from their catalogue:

Rosemont Leather Laptop Tote
Stafford Leather Rolling
Quimby Quited Laptop Brief

17" Quimby Rolling Laptop Tote

Four colors for your carrying pleasure.
