A minor obsession...

I have a confession. I'm bag obsessed. Not the $12,000 designer bags that are made of some practically extinct species of animal. No ma'am ... I'm into function. As a product designer this is hardly a huge surprise I guess.
That said, I have a love affair with technical bags - amazing, indestructible, cleverly designed and epically functional.
A company like Crumpler makes me weak in the knees.. Let's run the list and see why:
 Insanely functional - √
 Fantastic aesthetics - √
 Cheeky British design sensibility - √ √
Yeah, that'll do.


While we're at it ... let's talk about Timbuk2.
A San Fran based messenger bag company that's basically the cats pajamas. They make bags so durable and well-designed, you can take your Macbook Pro out in the rain without having a conniption. 
Fully custom design available √
American made + excessively durable √
Amazing pockets, accessories and options √

Let's be honest here ....

I'm an ametuer foodie. This much is obvious if you spend more than 4 mins in my presence. Especially around meal times. 

Just thought I'd share a bit - so here we go. A tall cup of TRUTH for you guys.

Have a watch. absorb the info. figure your 'ish out.
