Looking for a practical everyday bag that is vegan and environmentally friendly while still looking stylish? There’s a new kid on the block that will give you just that – the Montage bag.
Designed in Los Angeles, California, MONTAGE is a rectangular-shaped bag that is made out of premium Portuguese cork. It was designed with the aim of being a comfortable and versatile everyday bag which can be worn in multiple ways – as a backpack, tote bag or a briefcase style bag / laptop bag. The style of the bag can be altered by simply adjusting the straps.
The Montage bag was designed with organisation and ease of access in mind. The interior of the bag comes with the following compartments:
- Main compartment which is large enough to hold a 15″ laptop
- Water bottle holder
- A slip pocket at the back which is large enough to store documents or an iPad and has a magnetic closure
- A smaller slip pocket on the opposite side which is divided into two compartments
- Two zipper pockets
- Two pen slots
On the exterior of the Montage bag, you will find a zipped slip pocket on the front which is great for easy access. The back of the bag features a double zippered pocket which doubles up as a sleeve that can be used to place the bag on luggage while travelling.
Besides being eco-friendly, the fact that the bag is made from vegan leather makes the bag extremely light (about three times lighter than real leather), yet still durable and resistant.
The Montage bag comes in one standard size and is available in three colours – dark green, burgundy and black.
Overall, the Montage bag is a good looking, environmentally friendly and comfortable everyday bag. It’s a good fit for anyone who tends to carry a lot of things around and would like to store everything in one comfortable bag.
