Laptop of Luxury

Alex Grant Computer Bags

Bags are your bag.

You carry Chloé, bring Balenciaga, and pack a perfect Prada. You march about town with Marc, lunch with Louis, accessorize dates with Dior, and hit the town with Hermès.

So what’s with the gnarly black nylon laptop bag?

Until now it’s been easier to find a Birkin on sale than a stylish carrier for your computer. But those days are over, thanks to Alex Grant Bags, a new collection designed to manage your PowerBook with panache.

The luxe laptop carriers, made of chic leather, velvety microfiber, and with unique nickel hardware, are really three bags in one. Each tote, satchel, and messenger bag comes with a sleek signature AGB laptop case — color-coordinated, natch — that snaps snugly inside but still leaves plenty of room for other items. Keep the bags one inside the other or as separate but equally glam case and handbag.

So you can carry all your stuff with as much aplomb as you carry yourself.
