May 05--Olden-days leather-and-brass briefcases may have looked classy, but they weighed a ton. Enter the tastefully wrought but lightweight Booq Saddle laptop bag. The tailored polyester shoulder bag is spacious enough to accommodate a 15.6-inch laptop in a padded compartment while also offering a place for file folders, electronic devices, water bottle, coffee mug and other accessories in an efficiently organized array of zippered, slip and mesh pockets. Adjustable shoulder straps, double carry handles and a luggage-trolley pass-through strap on the bag's back offer a choice of carry modes. The black exterior is scuff-resistant. The 2.2-pound bag is 16.5 inches long by 12.2 inches tall, and expands to nearly 6 inches deep. It costs $130. Info: www.lat.ms/1P0CqsG
