Dubbel Duffel is a travel bag that can unzip to double its carrying capacity. It greatly meets the real need of people who’re travelling around: on their way to the destination when they don’t have too many things too take, they can just leave the duffel zipped-together so that they could keep items separately with the dual-compartment interior storage; while on their way back home when they’ve bought some souvenirs, they may then open the zipper to expand the bag. As only 30 in each color in each size is available, the Dubbel Duffel is actually limited in its quantity: if you love it, you must get it!

Honestly we seldom see laptop bags redesigned with many new functions, not to mention a bag that actually serves as a charger as well. This amazing design comes from Brad Ascalon, which utilizes wireless charging technology to convert a laptop bag into a charging machine. Now have a look at the bag: its inner tray is in fact the charger and its carrying strap actually contains USB male connector at one end and a plug on the other. So once connect the strap end to another computer or an electrical outlet, and then you can get your laptop recharged wirelessly. That’s not all! The same USB port allows the laptop bag to work as a thumb drive on its own too.
