It takes a lot to surprise and delight me in a laptop bag. Sure - sleek design goes a long way. But real surprise? Pretty rare.
Well, colour me surprised and delighted by the new laptop bag designed by Alesya Opelt from the eponymous Alesya Bags. Alesya has really raised the bar on the "laptop bag for ladies that doesn't look like a laptop bag" category.
An excerpt from my review …
First, Alesya's Southern charm actually starts BEFORE I even get to the bag. The packaging is delightful. The bag is cosseted in its own bag which came with Alesya's standard card as well as a personal card and note to me. And the whole kit-and-caboodle was packed in a sturdy, stylish box. This is a pic of the card; you can see a full slideshow of the unboxing on my Flickr.When I first examined the Alesya bag I thought, "Wow - a gorgeous shoulder bag. Wait... it's a laptop bag?"
Yes, it is.
A shoulder bag, in supple leather with well-appointed hardware and careful stitching, is designer Alesya's disguise for toting around a laptop. The laptop sleeve is hidden under the bag's front zippered flap, at the widest part of the bag. Fully secured under an adjustable velcro strap, my 15" MacBook Pro is fully protected and concealed. Out for sushi with friends after work? No one will ever know I'm toting a laptop.
