FREITAG
I have been looking for a new bag for my MacBook for what seems like forever. I am currently using my original ibook bag which I got back in 2001, its the Vertigo bag by Waterfield Designs. Its a nice practical bag but not funky at all. But after a long search I think I found the coolest bag and its a FREITAG.
FREITAG bags are made from original, used truck tarpaulins, bicycle innertubes, car seat belts and used airbags. Each bag is one of a kind and they have a whole range of sizes, colors and models. I am currently leaning towards the F21 NIGHTCLUB model since my MacBook would fit snuggly inside it. The problem is there are soo many choices to choose from and each bag is very different. I am having a hard time choosing a bag plus the pictures on the site aren’t that good.
Anyway check the site out by clicking on the link. Below this I have a bunch of pictures I found online that show how grungy and cool the bags are. I think the concept is really smart. [Link]

you gotta like the green & black on in pic 3.. its funky, different, and masculine. the blue & black in pic 2 isnt bad either.. the rest are too over the top
Not only are they funky and unique, they have been recycled! That is an amazing find. Go for which ever one suits your taste. Personally I love them all. And I’m proud to that you would use something made from recycled material… People Mark is a great example… learn from him!

they are pricy but I think they are worth it I have the “T-Tech Flow Large Capacity Expandable Messenger Bag” and I love it for my Macbook Pro 15.4
tweego, tumi is a mainstream brand plus u can find it in kuwait, i am looking for something different.

asmaa and AK the pictures i have displayed arent the options i am going for. these are pictures of bags other people own. i just put them online to show off the bags
hmmm
i’m jealous now..
inshallah i’ll buy one bflos el 200 =>
I dig the “make you own bag” page
The most important thing for a bag is to have cushioned edges incase you drop it.
well it doesnt have cushioned edges, but i have my waterfield design sleeve for the macbook which is very cushioned :)
one thing i can say is… that you’re getting something that you want and not going for what everyone else has and getting the same. shows you’re a leader, not a follower. Kudos to that Mark!
those are all pretty cool! Especially if you can design your own bags! I would make one just to have a funky looking one!
dude crumpler bags are the best
i had a crumpler bag i gave it to my brother. plus mac & more are now selling crumpler bags.
looks great… I love the create page..
makes a great gift.. !!
hehe dont forget to check the price tag on the create page…
Frietags are amazing. I have one in London. They’re unknown here but they are quite common in Europe. Nice choice – you’ll love it.
…”unknown here” meaning in Kuwait, where I’m on vacation! :)
*Freitags. Excuse my corrections – I’m sleepy!
I ended up getting a BOOQ bag for my macbook, though I was originally looking at the Cargo combo from WaterField. I needed something a little more practical since I’d be carrying it to work every day.

[...] I just ordered two Jack Bauer bags from Amazon. The Jack Bauer bag is the military messenger bag Jack Bauer uses on the show. I was looking for a nice sized bag in which I could dump all my stuff in and was aiming for a Freitag but every time I try to order one from them I can never decide on which color or design. In the end I decided to go for the Jack Bauer bag since it costs just KD7 and figured it would be fun to have.

I think the Freitag is a great choice. I have been using one of them for my Laptop bag for the last two years and it’s ideal. You will need the cushioned sleave to absorb the inevitable knocks. Plus you have the bonus that the bag weathers and softens overtime .. almost like a fine wine
[...] been checking out FREITAG bags since 2006 and I finally got one today. Since every single bag is a unique design I always had a hard time [...]
