We are definitely in the midst of a laptop bag heyday! Another indicator - the birth of the "laptop purse" genre. Larger bags that take design cues from women's purses and smaller bags, for your netbooks, that are practically indistinguishable from purses.
A recent entry into this delightful category - the Sumo Women's Laptop Purse from Mobile Edge. I reviewed it over on my Laptop Bag lens. From the review ...
We've hit the post-holiday blahs pretty hard here in Vancouver. It's challenging to get excited about the new year when it's so gray and drizzly out. I was in desperate need of a pick-me-up; something to bring back that holiday cheer for the whole year. So naturally, my eyes lit up when I saw the cherry red Sumo Women's Laptop Purse that Matthew from Mobile Edge had sent over. Red! Quilted! Glory!
Of course the colour of the Sumo Women's Laptop Purse is the first thing that caught my eye, but I was also delighted by the shape of it; instead of your usual rectangular bag, the Sumo takes the edge off and curves around the top to create a softer silhouette. The quilting, accomplished with white topstitching over the high quality ballistic nylon, gives it a fun, fresh look and the leather trim and handles add a little je-ne-sais-quoi to the whole affair. Kicky!
