As soon as I saw The bobara Laptop Bag, I fell in love with it! I have been searching for a bag for awhile now and I didn’t want to go with a plain old bag. I am so lucky that I was able to get one of these to review. The bag I choose was The Lady Lindy in Barcelona, it is sophisticated and brings a bit of class to this everyday mom. The fabric used on the Checkpoint Friendly bags are all 1950s inspired. bobara accessories add vintage elegance to high-tech devices. The bobara bag enables you to go through security quickly and easily, without ever removing your computer from its protective compartment or your liquids from your bag.
So what makes this bag TSA Checkpoint Friendly?
Only your laptop can be inside of the bag. If you include other items (phone, keys) then you will more than likely be re-screened. When you are ready to go through security, unzip the middle zipper and unfold it like a book and lay flat. There is a clear plastic pouch to store a few small items, like liquids. You just need to flip it over so it hangs over the edge of the bag. to security screeners, this is the same as removing your liquids. Once you are cleared, re-zip your bag and you are good to go.
Inspected by the TSA, bobara bags both functional and chic with an array of practical features:
- – Padded computer compartment (the large size fits the 15” and 17″ MacBook Pro, while the small fits the 13” MacBook Pro).
