For style you have Tumi



Filson



and Chapman bags


For functionality you have the Air Boss by Red Oxx



A different kind of animal.

Here you can read a little more on what are the requirements for a bag to be functional:

http://www.onebag.com/business-bags.html
http://www.onebag.com/leisure-bags.html
http://www.onebag.com/dual-purpose-bags.html

One is stylish - the other is functional. Two different worlds.

Actually, there is a market for those people who want stylish but also functional:

But what is the solution here?

As for style, the above three pictures are all acceptable, though not practical design.

Pls. take a look at the links I posted of what consists of a functional design. Also take a look at those 2 links pointing to the FlyerTalk discussions all people want a functional and stylish design.

Feel free to post whatever you thing would work for me or for the matter for anyone on the 2 linked forum thread.

You are welcome.
