A few weeks back at ETech, I was hanging out with Phillip Torrone who was sporting his “Guardian Angel” bag by Vlieger & Vandam that is embossed with the shape of a gun. Here’s a photo of Violet Blue modeling Phil’s bag.
They also make bags embossed with knives and Dachshund shaped bags.
David Pescovitz noticed the bag as well and posted about it on Boing Boing.

Wonder how long it would take for some concerned citizen to call the police when they see you carrying that bag? Looks like another one of those “innocent citizen tazed by officer” stories just waiting to happen.
I think its cool though, I would buy it.
in case anyone’s wondering, Phillip did indeed check this bag to fly from NY to San Diego — it wasn’t a carry-on (I had to ask because you never know with Phillip; he might have a terrific story about getting the bag through security…). and the “gun” is a Glock. so hot, but sadly these bags aren’t cheap! I was totally coveting…
@violet blue:
It’s a Walther P99! Even more hot than a Glock!

@Jon: wups! duhrrr. thanks for the correction!
An excellent way to get searched, on the spot. A word to the wise: don’t carry anything in those bags you wouldn’t mind going to jail over.
I have wanted one of these for years…… where do I buy one in the US?
