During this past months, I tried to introduce you some innovative and original bags: bags that would not only be trendy but also practical. So you don’t waste your money in buying a useless accessory just because it looks cool ;) Thus, to close this month out, I would like to show you a very handy yet stylish creation from “TravelTeq”.

Based in Amsterdam, “TravelTeq” is a young company created by a group of (globetrotters) friends that designs and conceptualizes unique accessories. As you can imagine, the products are particularly made and thought for travelers.

TravelTeq’s first product is called the « Trash » as you can fit and jam this bag with all your belongings. Laptop, (sun)glasses, (smart)phone, documents, and even cigar can fit all together. In fact, the « Trash » features eight compartments of which three are zipped. It also has additional outside (and discreet) slots for your plane ticket and business cards. And for more practicability, you will appreciate the leather strip on the backside to hold the bag on your trolley case.

Last but not least: the “Trash” is waterproof, handmade with a high quality leather (Italian Florentine Vachetta). It measures 40(w) for 30(h), and 8(d) cm, weighting 1.2kg (about 2.64 lbs). You can find it in fox brown, but I personally like it in black panther ;)

Unlike other branded accessories of that kind, the “Trash” combines all the advantages you can expect from a travel bag. It is small, stylish, handy, intelligent and shock resistant. You can surely satisfy all your travel needs with it (well it would for me :)

The “Trash” is only available on TravelTeq’s website for €365 with worldwide free shipping. Check it out, it is worth it: http://www.travelteq.com
