When it comes to laptop bags, you’d imagine there isn’t much room for innovation in the design, right? Wrong.

The Moose Pros and Cons
There isn’t much that can be said in regards to the Workstation Bag that isn’t positive.
It has loads of compartments and pockets, looks nice and stylish, and is an innovative twist that could be useful for many people.
After a thorough evaluation, the only con we found was the price. At $199 once it hits retail and online stores, it’s a bit to swallow, especially if you’re self-employed.
However, if you’re one of the lucky people to receive the first batch of Kickstarter campaign bags, the price is $109.
On the other hand, there are several laptop bags that offer only a fraction of the capabilities, at a similar price.
Considering how it can improve your business travels, mobile lifestyle, or everyday workstation needs, it may pay itself off in no time.
Past, Present, and Beyond
The Moose Designs Lab was created in 2014 by a team of inventors and designers. With the help of Kickstarter, they are looking to raise funds to bring the Workstation Bag to the market.
With an aim to establish production in sufficient quantities to reduce the retail price and make it more affordable, it’s an investment that’s meant to serve their community.
Once the Kickstarter campaign is funded, the bag will be able to reach a wider audience of creators, entrepreneurs, and adventurous people.
