COTEetCiel reviews

http://www.carryology.com/2010/10/28/road-test-cote-et-ciel-rucksack-part-1/

where to get this?

 

[redification]

I'm pretty much set on getting the cote et ciel messenger. it's suitable when I'm going for internships and stylish looking. unless I find a similar bag design at a cheaper price.

 

[skye..]

cote et ciel-s are for people who like to carry their laptops and light documents everywhere they go
they are not very practical for any other usage/s
doesn't fit very much more than a laptop and accessories despite looking like a giant cape (rucksack)
as for the messenger, you're really just better off with a timbuk2 with divider paddings in it
like the rucksack, it's meant to just hold a laptop and accessories and not much else

i personally regret having bought both the messenger and rucksack as a casual go everywhere kind of bag

lol i thought only chrome messengers got this issue. the bag's kan pua tough cordura ate majority of my t-shirts

can try makr, jack spade, project shop, porter tokyo or if you can wait lexdray looks pretty good but doubt its out anytime soon

i feel waxcloth material looks pretty good

quality wise is it better than crumpler? Because $200+ is really (to me)

 

[ITretard]

quality i think is good. the zip is nice i like. and its make from recycle plastic water bottles.. claim from cumulus SA. tt dude tell me tt even the french having hard time purchasing this bag due to the productivity. they dun produce much too..

hmm, the skin of the bag seems to be somehow 'furry'. If for let say my milo drink accidentally spilled onto my bag, it's gonna leave a stain

 

[wilflare]

it's made from recycled PET bottles.
so milo stains should have no issues being cleaned off.

but if you get the toffee brown one, it is made of canvas and thus will get dirty

 

[ITretard]

furry meh? if touchie touchie it. it feels very plastic. water proof. no stains if milo spilled. (i think)
