Freitag Roy Shoulder Bag A lot of bags purport to be sturdy and tough, but how many can say they are made of some of the sturdiest and toughest materials around? Freitag’s bag is constructed of recycled truck tarps and car seat belts — fabrics that save lives at best and tether some serious cargo at least. Of course there’s more to the bags than simple, killer-color sewn fabric; inside are the ubiquitous padded laptop compartment and zippered pockets all around, while adjustable straps keep things comfy. $310 |
