While some may consider pink a spring and summer color, I think it’s fabulous year round. I personally tend to choose either richer (almost purple, brown or burgundy) or more subtle shades of pink in the fall, and the great thing about laptop bags is that they are inexpensive enough (many of them anyway) that you can switch them every season.

Many of the leading fashion color forecasters are including shades of pink in their fall/winter color trend forecasts.

Just look at these gorgeous pink(ish) palettes from CIFF (Copenhagen International Fashion Fair), PremierVision, Stahl (the left one looks gray on screen, but it’s actually a nice, pale lavender) and TFL (whose description of their pinks I just love: “drunken scarlets”):

I have selected some my favorite bags and cases this fall and hope you find one you like among them.

Mango Tango has three different designs of their stylish pink laptop bags: 2 in faux suede (one quilted, one plain) and one in canvas with grey, brown, green and pink stripes. Sounds a bit garish, but it’s really cute. And they’re all on sale at the moment!

The dark pink faux crocodile laptop portfolio from Mobile Edge is just adorable. It fits laptops up to 14.1″ and comes with a matching shoulder strap.

Another Mobile Edge bag that I really like is the Maddy Powers-designed “Sheba” in black and pink with a cool 50s pulp magazine picture on the flap. It comes with a removable laptop sleeve (in pink & black) and lucky seven dice.

The shiny hot pink laptop bag from Ice Red has lots of compartments and pockets, fits laptops with screens up to 17″ and is so very cute.

If eco-friendliness is important to you, you have to check out the bags from Urban Junket. All the bags in their T.O.T.E. line (To Observe The Earth) are made made with 100% organic cotton and natural dyes, and the linings are made from recycled plastic water bottles. My favorite is the magenta convertible laptop tote, which can be used both as a tote and a backpack and comes with an adorable separate clutch. The bag fits larger laptops, up to 19″, and is expandable, so you can even fit a MacBook Pro in it without problems. They donate $1 from each sale to carbonfree.org.

If you want something custom made, look on Etsy. Not only are there a huge number of pink laptop bags, sleeves, totes, etc. to choose from, but many sellers will gladly make a special one just for you.

If you have extra cash sitting around and want to spend it on a laptop case, check out the pale pink, oval hard shell polycarbonate X2 Flash 18″ from Titan Luggage. It fits laptops up to 15″, weighs only 3.3 lbs, and comes with a lifetime warranty. A few of the colors (pink among them) are currently on sale for $309 (regular price is $445).

And last but certainly not least, the brown and pink hand beaded vintage-looking tapestry bag “Phoenix” from Mellow World is understated, elegant and practical. It’s currently on sale at eBags, AND they donate 10% of the price ($79) to Susan G. Komen.
