Whether you travel for business or just need to escape the office for a saner work environment — a coffee shop, a nearby park — one accessory is essential: a laptop bag. And more specifically? A laptop bag that doesn’t look like a laptop bag (yawn). That’s why we dig the PC-minded Lakeland ($98) by ocean-cleanup champs United By Blue. Made with an organic waxed canvas exterior, it’s got all the bells and whistles you need to take your laptop on the go, such as an adjustable strap, plenty of pockets, and a reinforced leather bottom to prevent wear and tear. Plus, its clean, classic style will endure…and will always trump the ho-hum black bags that seem to have become the tech standard. And, like other items available from United By Blue, its purchase will help remove one pound of trash from our waterways. Find out how you help can rid the world of marine debris — and of boring style! — at unitedbyblue.com.
