When Andrew asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year I said "a bag for my laptop."Going to Blogher and toting my computer around would require a good bag and I was rather specific about wanting something big enough for my Macbook plus extras so I wouldn't need my purse on the plane. I also wanted a messenger bag style instead of a brief case style and I didn't want something that looked like it came from the Bat Cave.
When I opened his present last week I was very pleased, once again Andrew proved he has excellent taste because I swear I couldn't have picked out a better bag.
It's made by Haiku, makers of "poetically functional accessories," the name is "Wildflowers" Ultimate Messenger Bag and it comes in three colors (the bamboo green pictured above being my favorite--love the contrasting greens and stitching). It's got seven pockets including a padded one for my laptop, a clip for keys and rubber feet on the bottom for durability. The site says it's faux leather but it looked real to me in a lovely and feminine patterned suede.
And as a bonus? You can order it with a changing mat as an extra feature--for those toting more than just laptops. Fun huh?
Now the secret here is that the website lists these beauties at $99 but Andrew got mine at REI for $69 (sorry, I'm not supposed to know that but when you're the Accounts Receivable and the Accounts Payable department it's hard to hide things like that from me) so shop around if you like this.
You know how crazy I get for bags . . .

Same thing at our house....I always know how much Peter paid for something because I pay off the credit card the end of each month! :-)
PS - The bag is GORGEOUS!
I totally have a thing for bags too ;) and that is one mighty fine-lookin' messenger bag! I compliment Andrew on his impeccable taste.
Great bag! I had a hard time finding one for my laptop because I have one of the new 15.5" models. I found a unique bag when we were on vacation; made from sails! Reclaimed sails from a shipwreck. I love it.
That's gorgeous. Yes, I see all the bills too. They get paid that way.
Nice bag!
Love a good bag, espeicially for traveling.
I love this bag - I need one! And I need one with a changing pad... :)
Love this bag. Wonder if I can convince The Calm One to buy me one? Then I'd have a case for him to buy me a laptop too. Now, not only do I have mac envy, but I have bag envy too! Ah well
I love this bag! Your husband has great taste!
Now THAT is a great computer /everything bag!
Great gift!¬
Very cute - go Andrew!

Ooo that is too cute!
Wow, you're here? I keep forgetting blogher is now, because I'm not going. I'm sure you're swamped with functions, etc., but if you'd like to have lunch/dinner/whatever, let me know!
Very cute bag, btw.
i love to hear good things about REI and also to hear that such a cool looking back doesn't cost an arm and a leg!!!!!
I love it when husbands do the gift giving thing perfectly :)
Great bag!
Hope you're having fun at BlogHer!
Oh! I was admiring your bag at BlogHer, so it's fun to see some purchase details - I was too shy to ask!
