Porter Labour Bags

I saw this wonderful carryall while wasting time near a decrepit zoo in the hightech heartland of Taiwan Hsinchu. It's amazing how you can find these little gems in out of the way places and yet you can't get a decent cup of coffee.

This Carryall comes from Porters newish Labour collection - I call this the carry all as the store owner had no idea what the exact name was and I can't read Japanese. It has a large main pocket with enough inside spaces to carry all your mobile gadgets and necessary gear. All pockets close with very secure velcro and the strap is quite good; if you are carrying heavy loads you might wish it had padding on the strap as this bag has none. If you are carrying really heavy loads perhaps you should read My Bag Is Killing Me from the NYT. The top of the bag is interesting as you can choose to leave the top slightly open, like a ladies or small shopping bag, or close it shut which forces you to lose one carrying handle. In this fashion it looks more like a deep messenger. Materials are good and it looks great (you are 'required' to try on bags in Taiwan). Certainly a keeper.

Hard to find this bag elsewhere but it is available online here.
