Laptop bags can be chic, strictly functional, or masculine in style. Some laptop bags have removable "sleeves" so that you can carry the laptop in the bag or in the sleeve. These bags can also be used as airplane carry-ons, with or without a computer. Be sure that any bag you purchase is big enough to hold your laptop.

Some may be offended and some may be amused, but either way symbolism enhances an accessory so that is more than a mere evening bag.

The design of the modern messenger bag began with the utility lineman's bag of the 1950s. It allowed lineman to carry necessary tools within easy reach while climbing utility poles. Later adapted by New York City bicycle messengers using Manhattan Portage bags, each company used a different color to identify itself. Messenger bags are also used to transport mail and goods by postal workers and delivery men. Messenger bags ensure comfort while carrying heavy and bulky items, but allow easy access. Messenger bags typically have fittings that make it easy to adjust the shoulder strap, quick release buckles, and the ability to attach a variety of accessories. Stabilizing strap help prevent the bag from shifting while riding a cycle. The top-opening design allows messenger bags to be swung around to the front so that their contents can be easily accessed. Messenger bags are fashionable in urban environments, among cyclists and commuters. Messenger bags are often used by men to carry bulky items that do not fit into pockets or a large number of items. Messenger bags also provide protection from the weather. Materials used are often more durable and water-resistant than traditional bags. The most popular material used for the construction of messenger bags is cordura or ballistic nylon. Other materials include vinyl tarp or truck inner lining to make the bag waterproof. In addition to making the bag waterproof, vinyl tarp also provides a support structure to keep the bag from falling over. Return from Handbag Styles page to Designer Handbag Hub home page.
