Pretty and smart.

Brenthaven’s new Elite bag, co-design by Teague, has finally hit store shelves! Inspired by origami and constructed for smart expansion, Elite offers sleek laptop protection without compromising aesthetics. At last, a laptop bag that still looks great when actually used as a bag!

The process began with paper folding, a la origami, and pattern making to configure the structure; these experiments eventually became a food for thought for the professional pattern makers, and heavily influenced the final design. Because Brenthaven’s bags are known for setting the standard for protection, the team aspired to strike a balance between protection and aesthetics—which is no mean feat. Ultimately the solution maintains the original design intent and provides just enough protection to keep laptops safe and sound.

We hope people enjoy using the Elite as much as we enjoyed creating it!
