You’ve got yourself a laptop because you want to be able to work on the go, and up until now you’ve been carrying it around in whatever bag you can fit it into. However, you’ve noticed it’s starting to get a bit scratched and you want to look after it a bit better after spending £300+ on it.

A laptop bag sounds like the solution, but you’re a bit loathed to buy one because they look so darn boring and business like. You want something a bit cooler, a bit more street.

The LRG Grass Roots Laptop Bag is that bag.

Styled in black, this bag may sound like your average computer bag but it’s far from it, and that’s for a number of reasons.

The first is the shape of the bag.

Look at most laptop bags and you’ll notice they don’t make much effort in terms of shaping the bag – it’s basically a rectangle that might be slight curved to the corners. With this LRG bag the styling is more relaxed with the bag as a whole having a more curved shape to it.

Then there’s the attention to detail.

Your standard laptop carrier will be black on the outside, black on the inside, and perhaps feature a little tag with the company name on it somewhere.

In the case of this one, instead of a stuffy old tag the word LRG is written vertically to one side of the bag, in a raised transparent text, and the inside is far from being a boring black, instead being made up of a print made up of a white LRG tree style logo repeated on a black background.

And if you think all of this focus on looks is going to be at the expense of functionality then you’re wrong, because on top of having a simple outside pocket that’s easy to access, this also comes with double buckle fastening for security with multiple pockets within to make organising your life that little easier.

The LRG Grass Roots Laptop Bag is available for £50.00 at Yukka.

Laptop bags are great at keeping your computer free from damage, but let’s face it, your bog standard black computer sleeve is far from the sexiest bag you’re ever going to own, and does tend to call out to potential thiefs with the words “I’m carrying a laptop”.

What you really want is a bag that’s going to look after your computer, but is also going to be a fashion piece as well, and I have to say I think that the Rick Owens DRK SHDW Eastpack Collection Computer Sleeve does a pretty good job of doing exactly that.

Available in a Dust colour option that is a warm, yet soft grey colour, this bag, to me, is the perfect blend of messenger bag and briefcase, with the 11″ x 14″ curved edged shape of the bag, giving it that messenger relaxed feel, whilst the more structured, and narrow 1.5″ depth makes sure it’s going to impress when you walk into the office with it over your shoulder.

However this dual feel isn’t what impresses me most about this bag. That is the way it has been produced.

Doing away with the traditional sewn stitching that makes up your average bag, this Rick Owens bag instead uses a revolutionary new welding technique to give a much smoother, and more streamline look that is definitely going to get you and your bag some respect. And thanks to the dry stone washed technique that means this bag comes with a worn in feel and look from day one, you can be sure this isn’t a bag that’s going to be looking great on the first day, and then a month later look nothing but a tatty mess.

Finished off with the DRKSHDW lanyard and coin purse that feastures in all the pieces in the Rick Owens DRKSHDW collection and a DRKSHDW Eastpak fabric to the bottom right of the bag, this Eastpak laptop bag is definitely the only thing your laptop should be seen in, but you’re going to have to love it a lot to get it for it, as it’s not cheap at £110.00 at Oki-ni.

Looking for a stylish laptop bag that’s sure to impress everyone when you walk into the office or meeting carrying it? MyWardrobe have the ideal thing with their Bill Amberg Black Triumph Laptop Bag. Made from black leather, this bag, just like every other bag made by Bill Amberg is made from sustainable material and is handmade using innovative production methods to make sure theis and every other bag they make truly unique.

On top of being one of the most unique bags you’ll own , this is also likely to be one of the most functional bags you’ll ever own, because as well as having two external pockets – a large one and a smaller front pocket, this bag also comes complete with an inside pocket, a mobile phone holder, pen holders and two further smaller pockets for anything else you just can’t bear to be without, as well as the option to carry it down at your side using the handles, or over your body via the adjustable canvas handles.

However it isn’t the functionality of this bag I love the most – it’s the contrast between new and old and traditional and modern, seen by the black leather and gold zips to the outside, and the bright modern cotton lining to the inside that really makes this bag a real must have for me.

Measuring 30cm x 41cm x 8cm, this laptop bag is available for £445.00 at MyWardrobe.
