Cool Hunting
Using high quality felted wool and hand dyed leather, Byrd and Belle recently released a smart looking laptop sleeve perfect for the Fall weather.
The 1/8" thick Merino wool sleeve closes using a sturdy graphite snap to snugly fit your laptop. All leather used is hand-dyed in the Byrd and Belle studio using only environmentally friendly dyes. We like the attention to detail of placing a leather patch on the bottom of the sleeve making it more comfortable to carry under your arm and it even makes it a bit anthropomorphic.
The 13" and 15" inch sleeves are sized to fit the unibody Macbooks and are available at the Byrd and Belle Webshop or Big Cartel for $68 and $72 respectively. Custom-sizes are also available by contacting Byrd and Belle directly by emailing angie [at] byrdandbelle [dot] com.

A rugged buffalo leather bag, it comes with two interchangeable linings that transform it from diaper bag (complete with bottle pockets) to padded laptop bag. The over-the-shoulder rucksack also features a snap-in compartment for a water-resistant diaper pad, custom antique brass baby wipes...
From the gas-guzzling to the eco-chic, the following are Cool Hunting's favorite alternatives to transporting yourself and your precious belongings—whether for a jaunt around town, cross-country or overseas. Aptera Developed over the past five years, the Aptera, a three-seat automobile that gets 230 miles per gallon, is finally available to reserve. Three-wheeled and pod-like, the Jetson-like automobile is what I thought cars would look like...
Bumbakpaks hybrid messenger/backpack laptop bags were created by a consultant who suffered from three herniated discs as a result of carrying around heavy laptops. Combining dual shoulder straps with a rectangle shape, the "Urbanomic" (i.e. urban+ergonomic) bags reduce strain on your back and hang low on your "bum." Designed around the laptop, their revolutionary "bak2Pak" carrying system also evenly distributes weight to promote good...

by Tisha Leung Sexing up the Midwest prairie look, Sara Keiser's Box 185 collection makes the style relevant to today. Her newest pieces—nubile faux fur chaps and pants, fringe leggings and feather earrings—aren't for wallflowers. This season, the South Dakota native reinterpreted her '70s-inspired wide leg pants from prior collections and decked them out in faux fur resembling Mongolian lamb hair. Keiser will also custom...
