Classic Messenger style meets total laptop protection. Whether you travel by foot, plane, train or automobile, this is the perfect computer-friendly companion (fits 15" and 17" laptops), and a welcome alternative to the traditional corporate briefcase.

The Commute is the new blazer. Herringbone, the preppy zig zag print the British love to wear, has found it's way to your bag. Whether you travel by foot, plane, train or automobile, this is the perfect computer-friendly companion (fits 15" and 17" laptops), and a welcome alternative to the traditional corporate briefcase.

The Grown Collection is Timbuk's vision to moving towards utilizing parts and materials that are better for the environment and less harmful to the folks who make them. Last year they took a big step by eliminating PVC from their entire line. These bags are another step in the right direction. On some of the key styles you’ll find the same fabric texture both inside and out. The bag maintains water resistance and durability without sacrificing style. Self fabric trim adds to the finished look. Fabric is made up of 66% hemp, 33% PET, and 1% mojo.

I love this Bag!!!

Rating:*****
I got this bag in January, I've been using it all semester with joy. It fits my 13in Macbook perfectly, and the main compartment has enough room for a book or two (depending on the size of the books), my lunch and water bottle. So over all it is exactly what I wanted. Oh and it is very comfortable even with all my stuff in it I barely notice it's there, which is impressive considering I walk a mile to campus and then walk around all day just to walk a mile home. So it really is comfortable. Any one who is planning on carrying their laptop around with them all day and still need space for folders, books and a snack really should get this bag.
