Stylish laptop bag made from recycled truck tyres
Before buying any laptop bag, the types of laptop accessories you will need to carry have to be considered. The bag has to be roomy enough to contain all these without being bulky to handle. You may be one of the people who would need to carry spare power supply cords, extra DVDs or CDs, business cards, a mouse, an umbrella, USB wires and cables, and so on. Your ideal laptop bag has to be designed in such a way that it allows you to organize your things for your convenience.
In addition to being able to organize and carry everything you need for efficient business, if your requirement is also for a stylish laptop bag that complements your workstyle, and makes a bold statement about who you are and what you value in life, you could look at a unique “green” product from the company English Retreads in Boulder, Colorado.
English Retreads have turned recycling into a bold vogue statement with their handcrafted bags. In 2001 Heather English, the corporate founder, experienced a predicament; she was browsing for a new vegan handbag that was stylish and “green”. Heather got an innovative idea while floating down Boulder Creek on a truck tyre’s internal tube. It occurred to her that this inner tube could possibly be made into an eco-friendly handbag. She went on to start her company in 2002.
The laptop bag, among several other types of handbags made by the company, deserves special mention not only because it is a clever product made entirely from recycled truck tyre tubes, but also because it is very cleverly designed with a lot of thought and attention to the kind of things you may need to carry in it. There is a padded and Velcro secured compartment for the laptop, a zippered pocket for important documents, and room for a notebook or other reading material. Plus, there are more pockets for your cell phone, pens, credit card and ID, and also a small zippered mesh pocket for odds and ends. The whole bag and its compartments are secured with magnets, with an adjustable and padded shoulder strap for travelling and carrying comfort.
The laptop bag is also extremely stylish in design, and comes in a matt black outer color (which goes well with most formal or casual businesswear). It also has many sophisticated color options for the inner linings.
