Hauling my stuff back and forth to work is sometimes a laborious process. Packing my MacBook Air and MacBook Pro into my old canvas messenger bag worked but I was fearful of damaging them and also the bag was kind of ugly. Yea, yea… first world problems. Scotia and I braved the holiday weekend and headed out to the Cabazon outlet mall in search of a new work bag. Turns out Oakley had a bag that fit the bill perfectly: small, 2 padded compartments, phone holder, just a couple pockets and even a water bottle holder. I’ve already found that the holder will also accommodate my Trenti coffee cup so I’ve averted the dilemma of having nowhere to put my iced coffee when I’m walking and texting.

Murse

a man-purse. very fashion-forward right now, seen on many hipster guys. the line between a messenger bag and murse is very fluid – typically a murse is a bit smaller than a traditional messenger, and may have a slightly more stylized look to it. a murse can also be used to carry a laptop computer – one of the reasons it is so popular right now.
“wow, Mark’s new laptop fits perfectly into that small bag he carries”
“yeah, that’s a great murse. it matches his american apparel shirt.”

Just pull the main zips to fillet the bag open and expose your machine. This design is also a perfect solution if you’re bouncing around the city like a pinball and you need fast and easy access to your laptop. A great computer bag keeps the chaos of life in order, and this one makes it a priority. Your peripherals and extras go in the inside organizer while quick-grab items like your pens, water bottle and smaller accessories store neatly in the exterior organizer. This durable and lightweight bag comes with a carry handle, a comfortably padded shoulder strap and a look that travels in style.
