Visit any coffee shop in Los Angeles (or any other major city, for that matter) and you’ll find that laptops have become entirely ubiquitous – they’re the ultimate productivity tool for the college student, business person, writer, and of course, the blogger. It only makes perfect sense that the laptop bag is one of the most important accessories to have when you’re working on the go. We couldn’t think of a bag that fits the bill more than the Apolis x Filson Philanthropist Laptop Briefcase, a collaboration between the contemporary philanthropic clothing line and the outdoor goods company.

Apolis Activism works with the non-profit Invisible Children to encourage education and economic independence in areas of conflict through projects such as the Philanthropist Laptop Briefcase. The briefcase is made of Ugandan canvas to encourage cotton manufacturing in Uganda’s developing economy.

Sleek, sturdy, and incredibly attractive, the Philanthropist Briefcase features Apolis Activism’s signature red stitch and leather shoulder strap for convenience. The bag is available in Fall 2009, and you can find out more about it here.
