I know that in my case, I have spent ages looking for just the right bag to carry my laptop and all the other bits and pieces that I feel are essential for my trip to Starbucks. As a result, I probably have more manbags than Imelda Marcos had shoes! The Crumpler Dig Bag was another attempt at finding the perfect bag, so we got them in. This time, I know that I won't be giving this one up any time soon. I love my Crumpler - it's just what I was looking for.

The bag is a bit bigger than the average shoulder bag and made from very strong fabric, waterproof and able to hold not only a 17" laptop, but with plenty of room for a load of other stuff too. The bag's flap is secured by seatbelt-strength straps and comes with a very comfortable adjustable shoulder-strap.

Just in case you're not convinced, here are a few more reasons to give this bag a go:

• ChickenTex Supreme - extremely strong, durable fabric used for the bag
• Ripstop Lining - waterproof fabric treatment to prevent any water damage in bad weather
• Strength - seatbelt strength straps, strong stitching, super ZONG ZIPs
• Capacity - will take a 12", 15" or even 17" laptop plus a whole lot more
• Pockets - without going through them all, there are tons of zip, mesh and other types of pockets
• Handmade - fabric cutting, stitching and checking are all done by hand
• Sexy - the manufacturers assure us that this bag is guaranteed to make the ugliest creature drop dead sexy
