The thinness of the new Macbook Air, and its ability to fit into a manila envelope (as illustrated in its commercial) inspired this carrying case design by London-based designer Michael Leung. The Mac Bag is 34.5 x 24.7 x 22 mm, water resistant and constructed with waxed cotton, felt lining, and plastic & rubber cord. It is the perfect compliment and companion to the Macbook Air.
If you are a lucky owner of a Macbook Air and want this stylish bag, you better order pronto because they are making only 50 bags for 2008.
The Macbook Air was the reason behind singer Yael Naim's sudden jump to #1 on iTunes chart and #9 on Billboard Hot 100 this week. Read our Trend Hunter story for more details:
