So how do we make them? An unused Pretoria Portland Cement paper bag is the beginning of each piece. (Have a look at www.ppc.co.za to see the original packaging.) Production takes a while, but it’s worth it. We separate the layers, remove the top and third layer of the bag and fuse them together. Bonding them with black cotton means that durability is never compromised. From there, you can treat it like any other fabric. We draw the pattern, cut it and stitch the bag together. And we’re quite pleased with the result.
The PPC Cement Laptop Bag is as practical as you can get, too. There are two sections and two pockets: carry your laptop cables in one pocket and an iPhone or mouse in the other. A padded divider separates your laptop from any other papers or notes, and the entire inside of the bag is also padded to protect everything that you carry inside it.
After stitching we coat the bag to make it water resistant – so yes, you can use this bag even when it is raining!

The computer bag is fantastic. It arrived so quickly (~7 days from South Africa to Arizona, USA) and the seller is very communicative. I am so happy with my purchase. And I will definitely buy from this seller again. The bag the computer bag came “wrapped” in is adorable to. Very satisfied!

My much loved old Wren PPC cement laptop bag finally gave up it’s life after around 300-400 flights across Africa over three years!

Thank you again for the continuous support from your side. I am using my long-awaited bag every single day and it has certainly turned many heads! My bag is of the same cement that I use for my masters research. I love it!
