I’ve always liked the bags from RedCampers with their signature ‘vacation slides’ as decoration. But these new laptop bags seem to bring quality and functionality to a whole new level. First they are made from original vintage car upholstery …so you know this bag will last forever. In addition, the bag is made up from original airplane seatbelt clips and seatbelt webbing along with original vintage slides of someone’s vacation. Do you have extra vintage slides hanging around your house? You can send them to RedCamper and they will make your bag out of them!
