bagweek-main

We pay a lot of lip service to high-tech gadgetry and gizmos on TechCrunch, focusing on only the latest and greatest for your edification. But what abou the stuff that barely gets any notice? What about the straps, bags, and sacs that carry our devices hither and yon with nary a scratch. That’s why we’re holding our annual Bag Week this week and that’s why we’re going to be reviewing a cavalcade of bags, from photo bags to laptop bags to backpacks. Why, you ask? Because it’s Bag Week, people.

Bag Week will be the big run up to our annual Holiday Gift Guide series and, since Thanksgiving is a little over a week away, it’s high time we start thinking about gifts for the loved ones and not so loved ones. Until then, we’ll be running through two or three bags a day this week, so you can follow the entire thread here and watch for great giveaways as well.

If you’ve come for bags this week, you’ve come to the right place. I guess you can say… we’ve got it in the bag.
