When Julie was in Calgary, she bought me a new messenger bag from some hipster boutique. It’s called the Dirty Harry, from a Canadian company called Matt & Nat. Their site is built in crazy frames, so here’s a peculiar page from their online shop, and a bigger image of the bag itself. Oddly, they don’t show the nice olive-green woven shoulder strap that goes with the Dirty Harry.

Here’s the interesting thing about Mat & Nat–their products are all vegan. I found that hard to believe when I first saw the bag–it totally looks like leather (see for yourself). I’m neither here nor there on leather clothes and accesories–I have so few. Still, it’s neat that there’s a stylish choice for the leather-eschewing vegan.

The bag doesn’t have any built-in support, so it’s kind of floppy with only a laptop in it. I’ve got a little laptop sleeve, so I may use that to add some structure.
