‘Laptop bags practical and fashionable’

Laptop owners who wish to transport their computers as inconspicuously as possible may be interested in a new laptop bag from Elifbag.

Writing for Shiny Shiny, Lucy Hedges claims that as she loves laptop bags "that don’t scream ‘hey come and rob me, I’m carting around an expensive piece of technology in my bag’… this one definitely fits the bill".

Furthermore, as "big over-sized bags have been in for a while now", the Verona carrier "comes up trumps in the fashion world, and the technology world too", she continues.

Made from calfskin leather and suede with knotted leather straps and detailed stitching the bag is designed to carry 15.4-inch laptops.

Priced at $499 (£250), it also has a detachable pocket for a mobile phone or PDA and metal feet to protect the base of the bag.

Ms Hedges also claimed that the Bloomsbury range of laptop bags from Knomo is "not only cute but highly practical", in another Shiny Shiny review.

The "Chanel-esque quilting" protects laptops from damage while a tracker tag helps the user locate their device if it is misplaced, she said.
