TUCH- Minimalist Leather Satchel, $275

This is a raw leather satchel. It’s beautifully simple, and a good way to keep from carrying too much stuff with you. Over-all it’s a bit pricy, but it will age nicely and has a pretty timeless design.

QWSTION- Office Herringbone, $166.67

I’m a sucker for herringbone. This bag is super protect, and versatile. It’s a virtual transformer, it’s part backpack, part messenger bag, and part briefcase. And it can be yours a pretty reasonable price.

Booq- Boa Nerve L, $149.95

I know it’s black, just like my current Timbuk2 bag, but it’s some much more. This thing is fully-equipped with everything thing to keep your mobile office organized and protected. There are a ton of pockets and it comes with it’s own laptop sleeve.

Boconi- Hendrix Large Mailbag Messenger Bag, $268

Modern and practical, made of luxurious leather. I liked this bag for its’ clean lines and nifty plaid interior lining, though it does seem a bit high-maintenance when it comes to leather care. And for the price tag, of alost $300, I didn’t want to always have to worry about it getting wet.

Moop- The Messenger in Gray Waxed Canvas, $187

This waxed canvas bag is hand-made in Pittsburg by a nice lady named Wendy, or at least that’s what I like to think. According to the website it’s “Built from durable and luxurious waxed canvas and lined in water resistant cordura. Waxed canvas is naturally water repellent and ages like leather.” It’s simple interior is unfettered by compartments and leaves you with plenty of room to carry your 17″ MBP a couple of books, note book, and some pens. I was sold by it’s simplicity and elegance and ordered mine in gray (with blue interior) this week.
