Charles & Marie

We see a lot of dumb bags that we don’t like. Then, every once in a while, we see a bag that we really like and we’ll happily slide our computer into it and use it for a couple of weeks. And then, in the rarest of moments, we see a bag that just makes us drool. That gets us so agitated that we want to pick up the phone and buy it exactly the same second as we see it.

Case in point, this beauty:

Made by TravelTec in Amsterdam, well, from Amsterdam, as the bags are all hand made in Florence, but read on and be amazed:

Vegetable tanned Florentine Vachetta Leather – the best they could find – plus water resistant highest quality nylon, hand made in bella Italia. Bag by bag. AMAZING!

Inside: 8 very very smart compartments, 3 with zippers, 5 without. Padded laptop compartment (up to 15”), phone compartment, sunglass compartment, and one cigar compartment. You can tell, they really have their priorities straight.

Outside: Business card compartment, ticket compartment, band for trolley case.

Size: 40x30x8cm - fits perfectly under the seat in front of you.

Now if only the Concorde would still fly, this would be the perfect bag!
