Which got me thinking about replacing my bright yellow canvas messenger bag I got for test driving a car 10 years ago that I still use to carry my laptop and books to work everyday.
Anyone have a favorite bag they use? I’m pretty rough on my bag so that’s why I’m looking for a cheaper one but should I spend up?
I have a slightly older model of this Tumi slim messenger bag here. It’s very lightweight and compact, but the ballistic nylon makes it quite durable and it’s large enough to fit an ultrabook, AC adapter, water bottle, tablet, and other miscellaneous items. Quite a few compartments inside to keep things organized. I’d recommend.
Unless it is a carry-on for an overnight trip, but that is a carry-on not an everday roller bag.
edit: I agree, Kenneth Cole one looks good, I’d only wonder a little bit about durability. The tire one I’d be scared it would smell like rubber all the time.
I’ve been carrying in my lunch in a plastic grocery bag for years. A few days ago, this older lady at the office tells me, “hey, I remember my nutty university professors carrying their lunches in plastic bags.”
Ever since, I’ve been self concious of this and I now endeavour to acquire a proper bag. Especially if I’m heading to a new shop… don’t want to be a nutty professor.
