Hey guys, my wife and I designed two leather travel bags that we are launching on Kickstarter, and I need your opinions! Please be honest.
I wanted to design a bag that was rugged and manly, but wasn't ridiculously heavy and uncomfortable. The Journeyman is the result of that. And the Lillium was for my wife who wanted a hands-free and sexy way to carry her stuff around town.
Here's the link to the Kickstarter campaign with more details: http://kck.st/1dO4LVI (what do you think of the video?)
The Journeyman is a minimalist messenger bag that fits a full sized iPad, Macbook, and iPhone, with room for their chargers too, and more. It features an innovative suspended laptop/iPad pocket that keeps the bag from "bricking" when you put the Macbook in. Instead, the bag forms to your body and stays comfortable even when full. Plus... I think it looks pretty manly...
Journeyman Features:
Cross-body messenger design
Rugged full-grain fully vegetable tanned boot leather
Marine grade nylon stitching (used in parachute construction)
Solid steel hardware
Herringbone lining
Suspended floating laptop pocket

The Lillium fits an iPad Mini and iPhone with room for other essentials you'd need for a day in the city. It has a slim design and can be worn 3 different ways that contours to your body and leaves your hands free. A hidden zippered passport pocket on the back is perfect for keeping your cash and valuables close and hidden.

A ton of work went into these bags, we even took them to the Himalayas in Nepal to field-test them. I'd love to hear you guys' thoughts and comments. I need input!
