Bellroy Laneway Crescent Bag 12L - Sleek, capacious crossbody bag for travel and EDC use

The Bellroy Laneway Crescent Bag 12L is a cross-body, crescent shaped bag that dances along the lines of a sling/messenger/boho bag and even purse, but combines it with some pretty clever built-in organizational pocketing and sleek accommodation for modern devices including even up to a 14" laptop. 00:00 - Start 02:51 - Overview/Disclaimer 03:29 - External Design & Materials 09:18 - Rear Laptop Compartment 13:59 - Water Bottle Pockets 17:03 - Main Compartment - Toolbelt Drop In Pockets 19:01 - Main Compartment - Central Capacity 22:25 - For/Not For 24:23 - Also Consider Its strengths include: Simple and lightweight at only 300g and rolls up quite small for transport but is surprisingly full-featured Quite a high degree of organization and carrying capacity for such a simple bag - it can comfortably carry a 14" MBP or similar computer plus has a ton of drop-in pocketing for multiple EDC small item organization Pretty simple/casual in-and out access on the go with a single zip and tons of upward facing drop in pockets + a big main compartment - we weren't expecting to like this bag as much as we did for on the go ease of use but it really surpassed our expectations Conversely, some possible things to consider include: More of general limitation of the form factor but in the 12L size when you load in a heavier laptop + a water bottle and other content it can overwhelm the simple single strap load carriage system The design is undeniably a bit more feminine (especially with the lighter colours/smaller sizes) so while not necessarily an area for improvement, the design might put it out consideration for some There is no quick access pocket so access to anything other than the laptop requires you to open up the main compartment Bellroy Laneway Crescent Bag 12L https://bellroy.com/products/laneway-...
