Hello researchers,

My girlfriend is a big fan of Angelina Jolie, and has given me lots of
not-so-subtle hints that she would like a backpack identical, or very
similar to, the one worn by Angelina Jolie playing Lara Croft in the
Tomb Raider movies. I have been trying to locate one for sale on the
web, but so far have not had much luck. I'm looking for a source that
will ship to a US address. One last thing, I am intending for this to
be a Christmas present, so the source must be able to ship in good
time for Christmas.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

A leather "Tomb Raider" backpack was once part of a promotional
package for Ericsson phones:

"The film opened to a mix of lukewarm reviews and box office
enthusiasm, but for the past six months, Alpha Marketing has been
working to develop a theme for the company's marketing activities. The
idea: Highlight the link with 'Tomb Raider.' Those efforts resulted in
a prerelease support kit for Ericsson salespeople featuring a 'Tomb
Raider' backpack filled with film merchandise and a direct mail,
interactive invitation to private screenings of the movie.

Steve Greene, president of Alpha Marketing, said his company's role is
part of an overall international campaign by Ericsson. But much of the
work generated by Alpha Marketing was done right here in Maine, such
as the support kit for Ericsson salespeople.

That kit included a leather backpack imprinted with the 'Tomb Raider'
logo and filled with a variety of 'Tomb Raider' merchandise: a
cellphone, a Lara Croft action figure toy and a 'Tomb Raider' candy
bar. Although the merchandise was manufactured at sites around the
country, the items were shipped to the Down East Horizons MDI Workshop
in Bar Harbor, where workers packaged and distributed them."

I haven't seen any evidence that such a backpack was ever issued
commercially. Promotional items like this one sometimes appear on
eBay, so you might check there frequently.

I have not seen tomb raider in some time, but if you mean the pack
with the vert ammo reloader then I think it may be a customized Nike
pack. That can be found here:

actually looking for the bullet capicty of the orginal...well then
