You know when you see a celebrity carrying a great bag you'd love to have, but part of the reason you love the bag is that there isnt a huge eyesore of a label on it? So you totally don't know where to get that bag?

Ever since I got a laptop, I've been looking for something cool to put it in while I jaunt from cafe to cafe, pretending to be an urbanite. A while back I stumbled upon this nifty bag from Tarqus, but for those of you looking for something a little more upscale, let me introduce you to Zegari.

Founded in 2004 after the owners fled corporate life for a European "design tour," the company set out to create bags based on "simple, clean design with attention to detail and constructed with an eye-catching blend of leather and other rich, innovative materials."

I'd say they were successful.

The Barcelona Bag (pictured at right) is the bolder of the two, with a striking line of color that pops out from the otherwise uniformly sleek exterior. The company also offers The Minimalist, which seems perfect for the well-heeled, but more subdued among you. In addition to their good looks, both appear to be highly functional, featuring protected laptop compartments, along with an assortment of hidden pockets and zips for all your smaller bits of techno-related gadgetry.

Classy.

Several months ago, I made a list of laptop bags that went beyond the boring black ballistic nylon that blends in with everyone else. One of the bags was from Plastic People, a line of bags designed by Shannon South, who uses vintage vinyl. Her bags are absolutely adorable, and totally appropriate today, the day of all think pink and heart. I mean really, how do you not talk about bags that are called "Supreme Love Story" today?

Plastic People is actually giving away one of the laptop bags to a random winner. My favorite, naturally, is the pink bag with white trim and heart, but don't worry, not all of Plastic People's bags are pink. Just head over to this contest page, to find out how to enter and win one of the bags, which is valued at about $175.

You know you hate it, so why don't you just do yourself a favorite and get rid of it? No, I'm not talking about your manager's tie or the mail guy's bad pick-up lines. I'm talking about that drab laptop case you bought way back before the dot.com bubble burst.

Now that we're in Web 2.0 (what does this mean by the way?), you should consider getting yourself a laptop bag 2.0 to match.

And trust me, nothing says "New Media" like the Supremelove story laptop bag. In fun punchy colors, the Standard Sally bag will make toting your notebook that much more bearable. Of course, like all other It-bags, the Supremelove story laptop tote comes with a 6-week waiting list. So queue up, ladies.
