Framework on the move.
11th Gen Batch 5 laptop’s been to Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Indies. I needed a bag that could survive the jungle and still look good in the city. I pack light: backpack travels in overhead, bag stays with me.
Arrived in Paris last night and will be around France for the next week. This trip I’ve been testing out my new (have to prepare myself to write the name) NutSac Satchel 13. Hate the name, love the bag.
Waxed canvas and full-grain leather with obvious attention to detail. Guaranteed for life and I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t last at least that long. Stitching, zippers, everything is top-notch.
Inside is a zippered back pocket which I use for travel and event papers. My “world traveler” Framework 13 sits in the main compartment, leaving room for a book, noise cancelling headphones, snacks, and a small water bottle. Two pouches sewn in the compartment front hold my wallet/travel notebook and an inflatable travel pillow. Outside on the front there’s a zippered pouch for my harp (harmonica, G or A, if you care), tiny flashlight, tissues, and pen. The whole bag zips shut and is securely covered by a flap with a magnetic and snap closure. The shoulder strap was comfortable through three airports and several hours of putzing Paris chocolate shops.
There’s not a lot of cushion on the bottom, so it would be a good idea to put the laptop in a sleeve. I don’t put my bag down much, so I haven’t bothered. Darned nice bag.
