Grab a laptop bag for gals
TO OUR READERS: You know you want it. But do you know where to get it? This column aims to help. Watch this space weekly for information on all things timely, trendy, useful or unusual.
Girls just want to be stylish.
That’s why fashionistas will dump their masculine black laptop bags when they see Abbi New York’s stylish numbers.
We like the Sienna, a messengerstyle bag made of water-repellent silk brocade with a floral pattern. It features a detachable ComfortGel shoulder strap and has Duraflex padding for computer protection. Other features include metal feet, inside pockets for a wallet and cell phone, pen holders and zippered compartment for keys or cosmetics and a large, easy-access back pocket for files and magazines.
The bag weighs about 2 pounds and measures 15.5 inches long by 13.5 inches tall by 4 inches deep. It can accommodate a laptop with a screen up to 15.4 inches wide.
Choose from three colors: Jade (green), Sienna (lavender) and Ella (blue). It costs $89 at www.abbinew york.com and $88 at Gloss, 1845 Briargate Parkway, in The Promenade Shops at Briargate. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty from any manufacturing defects.
A portion of the sale of each bag is given to World Vision, a relief and development organization dedicated to ending world hunger. |
