MacBook Pro Leather Bag

On my last trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I came across a few sling bags in Chinatown that looked pretty cool. They looked like they would just fit my 15" MacBook Pro pretty snuggly. Best of all, the price was MYR 120 (after negotiation), which is about S$50/US$30. Since I have had it and used it, I have had many comments like "Is that custom made for the 15 -inch Mac?" or "Gorgio Armani makes Mac bag?" or just "Wow. That's a cool bag."

In my opinion, it rivals the Crumpler Mac bags at a fraction of the cost. Here are some pics:

The nice real leather Bag with nothing inside...

Snug and safe.


In Action: Fashionable and slingable... despite the tiny Gorgio Armani logo.


Don't ask me where to buy: Petaling Street, Chinatown, KL. There are other models like one that has big "BOSS" across it.. for those of you who are egotistical or just like Hugo.
And no.. there are none with an Apple Logo on it. (Damn good idea though. Now... if I can only find the manufacturer.)

PS. There is no handle. The shoulder strap has no padding but it does not hurt if you are lugging around computer, power adapter and a few nick-nacks - which is all it will fit in any case.
