Messenger Bags

I’m looking for a funky messenger bag for busing/walking to work since my new notebook doesn’t fit in my old super slim bag. My notebook is 14″ long.. Here are some sites I’ve found. My preference is to find one made from a funky material, especially old mylar/kevlar sails (I worry that something made from dacron would get dirty?). And I’m not actually going to bike with it so I prefer something cool than functional :).


If you have any suggestions, let me know.

    IMHO, Waterfield Designs (http://sfbags.com) is the absolute best in terms of cool, good looking, but functional bags. I’ve gotten one for every laptop I’ve gotten, and always had a great experience with them.

    Thanks guys. Jenn, I saw those bags at Nordstroms a while ago. Super cool but really expensive! :) I’ll check them out again though.

    From one Canadian to another – I have purchased and very much enjoyed bags from Spire. I’d urge you to check out their messenger bag. They build quality stuff and back what they sell.

    I have a Zoom and I love it, even 5 years later.

    Tom Bihn is a great company; they’re local too… It’s on the pricy side but the bag that I bought is pretty excellent.

    I LOVE my Booq bag (I got the XM one for my 12″ Toshiba m200).

    I have a sleeve from SFbags and a messenger bag from Timbuk2. Very happy with ’em both. The timbuktu2 bag handles abuse/inclement weather well.

    Check it out… very cool.
