Modelled on the format of classic messenger bags, the Taipan slimcase uses lightweight materials and discreet visual details to provide a business bag for creative professionals. Contemporary details such as the plush-lined laptop compartment, concealed compartments on the front and rear, and the integrated key holder reveal themselves only on closer inspection. They underline the bag’s business-oriented and therefore practical approach.
Like all booq bags, the Taipan slimcase has an elegant, restrained appearance. Available in brown and black, the 13-inch MacBook, 15-inch MacBook Pro and 17-inch MacBook Pro, along with comparable PC models, fit into the S, M and XL size variants.
Plush is suitable for business
The right mixture makes the difference: as classically cut as popular leather bags, the booq Taipan slimcase combines new materials with a proven shape. Instead of leather, water-repellent polyester protects valuable contents against downpours or spilled drinks. The notebook rests in plush inside a separately padded compartment for protection. A removable shoulder strap reinforced in the centre improves carrying comfort.
Plenty of space need not be heavy
Alongside the separate laptop compartment, the Taipan slimcase provides numerous compartments. A narrow item such as a passport or boarding pass can be kept readily accessible in a compartment on the large flap that protects the interior from rain or prying fingers. Beneath the flap is an interior finished in grass green or dove blue. A large accessory compartment and several small pockets sit alongside the padded main compartment. Releasing a button gives them additional volume. The rear of the Taipan slimcase has a large compartment for important documents or magazines. A removable key holder inside is particularly practical. Empty, the bag weighs less than 1 kg.
Quality is not unaffordable
The Taipan slimcase is available from EUR 69 through the booq online shop and selected German specialist IT retailers. ComLine is the distribution partner for German retailers.
