Tom Bihn Introduced The "Imago" Notebook Bag with MacBook Insert

Tom Bihn, a designer, manufacturer, and retailer of notebook bags, backpacks, messenger bags and briefcases, has introduced the Imago, a new small messenger-style bag available in two distinct styles and six unique color combinations. The Imago features an optional laptop insert for the 13" MacBook.

The Yin Imago, made of 1000 denier Cordura, features a sexy recurve on the flap and is available in color combinations Cocoa/Cocoa/Wasabi, Plum/Crimson/Steel, and Olive/Steel/Wasabi.

The Yang Imago, made of 1050 Ballistic nylon model, has a more conservative look, and is available in color combinations Black/Black/Wasabi, Steel/Kiwi/Deep Blue, and Crimson/Steel/Crimson.

The Imagos feature the same internal architecture and accept the optional Soft Cell laptop sleeve or Brain Cell laptop case, both of which are available in Size 6 for the 13" MacBook and Size 5 for the 12" PowerBook G4. Adding the Soft Cell or Brain Cell turns the Imago into a small, efficient notebook messenger bag.

On both sides of the bag are small pockets designed to securely carry portable electronic devices such as cell phones, iPods/MP3 players or PDAs. Lined with Ultrasuede and closed by #8 YKK "splash-proof" Uretech zippers, these snug little pockets also provide scratch-free storage for eye glasses.

BTW, we recommend Tom Bihn bags and Brain Cells. They are very well designed and manufactured. We have used them for years with our PowerBooks and now our MacBook Pro. [Bill Fox]
