This is a big bag for art students who need to carry their laptop, books, and craft materials (especially for knitting) in one bag. The laptop pouch is intelligently designed to hang in the middle, so that the wool and soft materials protect it. Takka found knitting very helpful in prison as it is mindful and rehabilitative. He is also capable of knitting whilst walking the streets of London. He designed this bag to allow students to walk while knitting too – on the way to college, for example. The bag has a special compartment for needles or brushes of different sizes.
Anti-theft element: The most valuable element, the laptop, is protected and camouflaged among craft materials. In addition, the flap covers and protects the main zip and the pockets are placed at an angle, making them harder for thieves to access.
