LTT OFFSITE LAPTOP BAG
WHY WE DESIGNED IT
The OFFSITE LAPTOP BAG was created to solve a common problem—traditional laptop sleeves often lack the storage needed for everyday tech essentials. Designed with tech enthusiasts in mind, it features a functional and organized pocket layout to carry everything from chargers and cables to a mouse, tablet, and adapters—all in a sleek, portable form.
USER RESEARCH
We started with competitive research to explore design opportunities—looking at brands that offered tech pouches, laptop sleeves, and bags built for carrying computers and tablets. Then we interviewed laptop users to better understand the gear they typically travel with. We asked what features mattered most and what influenced their bag choices. Many valued slim profiles, easy access to essentials, and compartments that made organizing accessories effortless without adding bulk.
DESIGN PROCESS
Design and layout were refined through sketches, 3D mockups, user wear tests, and real-world feedback. We paid close attention to material selection, comparing options against what existed in the market to improve both durability and feel. One addition we made was an internal elastic strap to secure accessories in place—keeping things tidy even when you're on the move.
SAMPLES AND ITERATIONS
I explored multiple layout options for pocket placement and carefully evaluated material choices. By combining Stretch Knit, Mesh, and Repreve Canvas, we achieved flexible storage that adapts to a variety of tech accessories. This material mix allowed components of different sizes to fit securely, while the built-in organizer maintained a slim profile without compromising functionality.
CONCLUSION
The OFFSITE LAPTOP BAG was a product that received great reviews for its slim profile, organizational layout, and lightweight construction. Users noted the inclusion of a removable strap, which proved to be useful during their commute/work. Given the chance for further revisions, I would have opted to explore a more modular pouch system as an added feature or the use of a more durable lightweight fabric as a material choice.
