The Crossbody Laptop Sling bag, from the London based company Grams (28), is the newest addition to the men's luxury accessory line of essential leather goods for today's urban professional, who understands quality accessories enhance the image.

The superior distinction is evident from the moment the package arrives with the message, "Obviously you made a great choice," imprinted on the exterior of the box. Once the box is open, the bag itself is inside the dust bag.

The Laptop Sling Bag, along with all the travel bags and accessories from Grams (28) are made from Environmental Certified Full Grain Italian Leather made in Arzignano, Italy, and simply running one's hand over the exterior, it is obvious the exquisite craftsmanship that went into creating the product.

"You have to make leather products by hand to give them soul and depth," according to Grams (28) founder Benjamin Chan.

With many luxury leather goods, the unique detailing is often the feature that elevates the attraction and with the Grams (28) Crossbody Laptop Sling bag, the characteristic that immediately caught my attention on the exterior of the bag was the use of the main pocket hidden zipper.

The use of this style of zipper creates a seamless line from front to back, which may not be the most enticing quality of the bag for some, for the discerning eye, the seamless closure creates a fluid, flowing appearance, and while the nuance may not even register at purchase, the attention will be drawn to the subtlety.

For the young urban professional knowing when to upgrade from the leftover college backpack to the sleek, stylish, sophisticated, and professional image enhancing sling bag, can be challenging, and choosing a luxury laptop bag can be a daunting task, understanding the design and function of the Grams (28) bag is essential.

The Laptop Sling holds a 14" laptop, a tablet, water bottle, phone, headphone, electronic essentials, such as power cords and cables, external power bank, and USB's or external drives. The main compartment is designed with a padded tech sleeve. Additionally, along with the two interior mesh pockets, the compartment provides enough space for other essentials such cables, cords, and a water bottle.

Multiple pockets are available to accommodate larger items like a phone or charger. A convenient pocket is positioned right under the opening for quick access, maximizing the bag's capacity. There's a front pocket for thin items and a discreet back pocket for valuables. A back strap is provided so users can slip the bag over any luggage handle. The adjustable body strap is sewn into the sides of the laptop bag and does not fasten into external hooks.

Men’s Fashion: The Best Cold Weather Essentials

The Grams (28) Crossbody Laptop Sling bag is crafted from genuine leather and with that has special care instructions, which should be considered for any genuine leather goods. Most important, keep the bag clean, regularly dust the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, gently dab with a damp cloth and let the bag air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, always store leather goods away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent fading and drying.

Rainy days will happen to everyone. Should your Grams28 Crossbody bag get wet let the bag air dry away from heat sources. Lastly, store the Grams28 bag properly. When not in use, store your leather products in a cool dry place, ideally in the dust bag provided or any padded container to maintain its shape.

According to Grams (28), "GRAMS28's name comes from the film 21 Grams, whose title in turn comes from the idea that a soul weighs 21 grams. Our creations have been masterfully and painstakingly constructed by artisans who put their heart and soul into their work; every stitch and every fold has been made with intention. We hope that you can connect with our products, and that they can become a lifelong essential for you: a companion, 7 days a week."
