Challenge yourself to make your own laptop bag and carry your own creation to work! With a total of 6 compartments, it is both practical and chic as a work bag. This is a handcrafted laptop bag that is well padded and can shield your laptop from light bumps and scratches during normal, daily use. But it is not impact-proof like some commercially designed laptop bags. We offer a variety of Japanese cotton canvases for choosing—matched with either black, off-white or nude accessories.
