Think Tank Photo has launched the Retrospective Laptop Bag series, a new line-up of laptop bags. These new bags feature the classic materials and design of Think Tank Photo's Retrospective line, offering quick access to your well-concealed gear.

Retrospective Laptop Bags. Big enough for either a well-concealed 13-inch or 15-inch computer.

The bags are available in both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes and three colors: Pinestone or Blue Slate in sand-washed 100 percent premium cotton canvas or Black in polyspun. The 13L lists for $149.75 and the 15L is $159.75.

"Besides carrying and concealing expensive laptops, the rear pocket is designed to hold a tablet and the main compartment easily fits file folders, books or binders," Think Tank Photo said. The water-resistant bag also features a smooth back panel to reduce wear and tear on your clothing.

Think Tank Photo Releases Retrospective Casual Canvas Laptop Cases

SANTA ROSA, Calif. -- Think Tank Photo introduces a retro-inspired alternative to conventional and obvious laptop cases for carrying expensive technical devices discreetly -- Retrospective Laptop Cases. Inspired by the popularity of the company's inconspicuous Retrospective canvas shoulder bag series, these new laptop cases are available in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes and three colors: Pinestone or Blue Slate in sand-washed 100 percent premium cotton canvas or Black in polyspun.

The Retrospective 13L and Retrospective 15L laptop cases' retro look mixes "Old-School" with "New-School" that is a throwback to the days when bags where visually simple but highly functional. These new laptop cases are designed for today's laptop owners whose personal style resonates with classic materials and design, as well as wanting their electronics to be readily accessible yet well-concealed.

Like all shoulder bags in the series, the Retrospective Laptop Cases are built with durability and comfort in mind. They feature premium quality YKK RC Fuse zippers, metal hardware, leather accents and a cushioned and padded nonslip shoulder strap that can be positioned for all-day comfort. A breakthrough in design is the smooth back-panel that reduces wear and tear on clothing. Besides carrying and concealing expensive laptops, the rear pocket is designed to hold a tablet and the main compartment easily fits file folders, books or binders. An easily accessible front organizer features a key tether with pockets for pens, business cards and small accessories. Treated with a water resistant coating, Retrospective Laptop Cases offers double protection from the elements with a seam-sealed rain cover.

Another attractive aspect of the Retrospective collection is the price. In fact, distressed canvas bags of comparable quality are priced up to $300 whereas the Retrospective 13L is $149.75 and Retrospective 15L is $159.75.

"The Retrospective Laptop Case is that timeless bridge between form and function," says Think Tank Photo's CEO Doug Murdoch. "While harkening to a bygone age of exotic solo travel when style mattered, it allows today's electronics devotees to keep in touch with the world no matter where they are in it."
