The Look for Less in iPad Cases and Laptop Bags

 

Who doesn't love "The look for less" in magazines and on those fun reality shows?  I thought it would be a great way to introduce Careerbags.com new laptop bags and iPad cases for 2012.

 

So it is time to look more polished for 2012 and what better way to show up looking uber elegant than with a laptop sleeve or laptop case from Knomo that looks like Chanel or how about the iPad Case from Skooba available in three sizes from an iPad to a 17 inch Laptop Tote. 

Only Karl Lagerfeld will know the difference. The Chanel Sleeve is on the left and we do not sell this bag at www.careerbags.com but we thought it looked an awful lot like some of our great finds.

Fall Fashion Colors Perfect for the Office

I know it was 107 degrees last week here in Texas but I dragged my girlfriend out to shop for Boots because I couldn't wait another day longer. 

Every year I splurge on the September Issues of all of the fashion magazines. I love them and mark the pages of all of the yummy sweaters and jackets while I dream of living in a place where I can wear my new boots the first week of September. 

I do purchase the magazines for work so that I can help all of you choose just the right laptop bag to go with your new fall wardrobe and I even chose a new laptop bag for myself from Theresa Kathryn to go with my new Riding boots.

When I first decided to design Business Totes and Laptop Bags for Women back in the early 90's, it was the color Burgundy that drove me to make the decision. I went into store after store trying to find the perfect Business Case for an important meeting and all of the sales people showed me the same and only Burgundy small brief case.

After 10 stores I knew I had to help all of those women out there just like me and design a line of briefcases for women. I had to save them from the same Burgundy experience since I had nothing in my closet to go  with a briefcase that color. I eventually sold my company to follow that dream and have been saving women from boring business cases for almost 20 years.

And now ladies, BURGUNDY IS BACK! and we have some beautiful Rolling laptop bags and laptop totes that will make you look like a million bucks.  

. 

Red and Black shown together was all over the magazines and I have had quite a few customers ask if we had any laptop bags that are red with black trim and the answe it is YES.  One of our favorite brands called Jack Georges has some terrific styles as well as a few other brands

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another great laptop bag that would be perfect for this season that is well priced, made of yummy mahogany colored leather, can hold a 15.4" laptop computer and all of the essentials to go with it.                             

 

 

Rich deep brown, camel, black and Animal prints seemed to rule the runway as well for Fall 2001 and we have a fantastic assortment of laptop bags that will  compliment all of those colors.

 

Let us know what your favorite Fall 2011 trend is and we can find you just the right laptop case.

New Designer 17" laptop Bags and Extra large laptop Bags

The larger the laptop the less expensive the price these days. So many of our customers are getting these huge laptop computers from their companies, friends, and family and the designer laptop bags to fit these little monsters was very limited until now.

One of favorite vendors and one we have worked with since we started www.careerbags.com is Clark & Mayfield. Lauri the designer never fails to come up with the best and the brightest. I like this bag so much that I would even consider buying one these 18.4" Laptop Computers just to get the bag.Also available in Navy or Black If weight is an issue how about a new Rolling laptop Bag in Camo Pink?

Laptop Bag or Laptop Sleeve or Laptop Tote?

Chosing the type of laptop bag to carry all of your business, personal and techie stuff is getting a little bit overwhelming these days. I recently took a road trip and even I was trying to figure out what the best bag would be for all of my items. Here I sit in my office at www.careerbags.com surrounded by the latest, greatest, coolest bags on one side a a pile of stuff that I needed to pack on the other side.

I have a Rolling Duffel that I can fit just about everything I need as far as casual clothes and toiletries for a weekend trip but for business my list seemed to get longer and longer as I began to pack.

I had to bring my:

• 13"Macbook
• Verizon Wireless five Spot
• I phone
• Ipod nano
• Kindle
• Camera
• Powercords
• Notebooks
• File folders
• Reading glasses
• Sun glasses
• Distance glasses

 

 

I tried a few different options. Could I just put my Macbook in a sleeve like my favorite little neoprene laptop sleeve from laurex and  put everything else in accessory pouches?

I do love my Accessory Pouches  from Coakley Business Class and never go anywhere without them these days. In fact I have so many power cords and techie equipment that I have been using two sets in different colors.

 

I decided to go for one of my favorite Laptop Totes from Coakley Business Class and since I love to make sure that my colors are all working together, I opted for the

15" Laptop Bag  Timeless Tweed - Lilac

It looked great over the luggage handle of the Rolling Duffel with the embroidered flowers since one of the best  things about a Coakley bag is the "pass thru pocket" that fits over a a luggage handle. The inside had all of the pockets that I could possibly need for just about everything on my list above.

The lilac color was fresh and summery looking but it still looks professional and elegant and it doesn't look like a laptop bag at all.
