In response to yesterday's personal shopper for cute bags for 14" laptops, Amy J wrote in to ask for ones for those of you with bigger laptops, i.e. 17+ inches, because "The only bags in that size are stupid black manly ones."Ugh, we know. Here ya go, Amy J!
You can always try a Mozi Waratah Laptop Sleeve ($55, #1 in pic) and pop it into any old bag or tote bag. Mozi sleeves come in a bunch of pretty prints and in sizes for a lot of laptops.
Okay, yes, this Riku Laptop Bag ($95, #2) is black, but we don't think it's manly. In fact, we're kinda digging the anime-inspired Swiss design.
Classic more your thing? Choose a Franklin Covey Alyssa Laptop Bag ($169, #3) in green or black.
For earthier styles, we love this Grainne 17" Messenger Bag from J'Tote ($195, #4). It features leaser-cut leather engraving and lots of interior pockets.
Finally, just because it's a)cute and b)red, we're digging on Kajsa Rydberg's Red Rose 17" Laptop Bag made strikingly strong with embroidered neoprene ($85). Very chic.
