If you are a girl/lady, and you have a laptop that you often bring to school or work, you know what I am talking about.

There are just not that many “feminine” laptop bags/cases for us out there!!

I am currently using one backpack style that’s designed for 17″, but I only have a 15.4″ wide screen Toshiba. So it is to be expected that it looks pretty heavy and bulky, and it simply looks humongous on me because it’s even longer than my back…

Therefore, I’ve been doing a bit “shopping” these two days on laptop bags. I got a bit frustrated that there aren’t that many shops that sell laptop bags for ladies.

Here are a few places that I would recommend so far:

• Crumpler – If you are looking for something not so “business-like,” they have some pretty funky bags there.
• Knomo – Very professional looking, yet clean and stylish. The company is based in UK, but they do ship to Europe and USA.
• Life get funked – They have one called “catwalk.” It’s beige/lilic. It looks pretty neat. Check it out.
• Timbuk2 – a few selections of laptop cases. But you can design your own messenger bag, which is really cool.
• ACME Made – Professional looking. Pretty good selection. I would like to know if they have retail stores in US.
• Filofax – The cross handbag looks nice. They have a main uk website that has nicer picures here
• Talene Reilly – You can’t tell they are laptop bags! They just look like handbags, very fashionable, yet has compartment and protection for laptops. My only complain is that the price is on the high side.
• Marka – I simply love their simple color matchings..
• Lin & Leo
• Melissa Beth Designs
• eBags – How can I forget eBags? All my hunting/searching started there. I love the selections there. I especially like the Mobile Edge brand totes…
