What's more cheerful than shiny, red patent retro goodness? Very little, I say - would you agree? I finally had a chance to do my full review of the Black Candy laptop tote from Rainbrooke Designs...
It's summer and surprisingly hot here in coastal Vancouver. So I've been wearing my hair in a ponytail lately. And sporting rolled up jeans and oversize white oxford shirts. And I realised that I've been transported to the 50's and have become Ritchie Cunningham's little sister. Sock hops, slicked hair and poodle skirts are all the rage. And my saddle shoes are swell.
But I've got one thing Joanie didn't have - and that is the rockin' Black Candy laptop tote from Rainebrooke Designs.
The Black Candy is a split-style laptop tote. One side holds your laptop and has a removable sleeve for extra padding. The sleeve holds up to a 15" laptop - but if you remove the sleeve, a 17" will fit on the laptop side. The Black Candy is very well padded, so even if you don't have the sleeve, I don't think you need to worry about your laptop.
One of the VERY smart things about the Black Candy is that each of the sides of the tote has it's own zipper - so you don't have to have the laptop side opened when you're digging through the bauble side - and vice versa.
If you're a fan of rockin' retro styling, check out the full review of the Black Candy - in addition to the full scoop, there are some special pricing codes for an amazing discount on the Black Candy!!
Looking for an excuse to pick up the Ballistix AURA, or perhaps the Velocity MATRIX to tote along on your summer adventures? Well, right now Slappa is offering 10% off all products, as well as free shipping on orders over $75.
We loved the AURA and the MATRIX, and even if you're not planning any covert ops over long summer weekends, these road warrior ready bags come highly recommended. Check out the sale here.
Euro-cool is now available this side of the Pacific - Skooba is now the exclusive US distributor of Proporta cases and accessories. Talk about sleek!
In addition to being the gadget-case incarnation of continental cool, the iPhone and iPod cases blend the luxe eye-candy of a leather case with the screen-protection of a hard shell, courtesy of an aluminum panel. Top-stitched and available in a range of candy hues (in addition to your standard classy neutrals), these sort of make me wish I had an iPhone or iPod Touch. But not to worry...they make them to fit the Classic and the Nano as well!
Who says practical can't be sexy? What, don't believe me? Have a look at the Celisling from the Canadian girls at Celi Inc. and prepare to have your world rocked.
If your protective PDA case and favourite catch-all purse had a baby, they could only hope it would come out looking like this pretty little thing - with all the compartmentalized storage your case doesn't offer, in a size that's not likely to give you back strain (unlike, say, my catch-call purse).
Celi Inc. also offers the Celicase, which goes even more minimalist than the Celisling while retaining the functionality. All in all, a neat little Canadian company making some wonderfully (practically) sexy bags.
Did you find yourself drooling over the Endo? Would it make you happy to find out that it's roomier cousin, the Mojo, is currently 40% off? Allow me to deliver the happy news!
Spire is having a close-out sale on it's Mojo Messenger Bag, a sturdy tote that can take your 17" inch laptop and anything else that's thrown at it. Whether your trek drags you through the mountains, or just in from the suburbs, you can keep your tech-baby safe in this thing - anything with 'ballistic nylon' in the description just inspires confidence, I find.
Head over to Spire now and pick up your Mojo before there is Mojo-no-more.
Violet May, purveyor of luxuriously drool-worthy gadget bags, has created a limited edition selection of Blackberry Purses for the upwardly-mobile fashionista. The leather wallets feature a silver stingray print with pink accents, and can be personalized with one of three gold embossed mantras: Never Knowingly Underdressed, Rising Star, or Yes We Can!
Violet May is definitely on the more luxurious end of the tech-tote spectrum (and are priced accordingly), but they're just so pretty - and indulgence is healthy from time to time, no?
