Rawlings Leather Messenger Review Posted

Mmmm ... so delightful, so sexy, so chic .. a laptop bag from baseball leather!  Perfect bag for the sports fan in your life!  From the review ...

...(the Rawlings Messenger) is a great-looking bag - sleek and inherently touchable; you will be the envy of everyone in the boardroom. Ladies - that grey haired ol' boy CEO will likely now let you in the club. Gents - expect the next promotion to go to you, not to Johnson down the hall. But seriously ... the leather is gorgeous, the brass hardware is very stylish, and the shape is classic and compact.

Check the review of the Rawlings Leather Messenger over on my Laptop Bag Lens!

Your Blackberry Need Some Bling? Violet May is in the House!

Just got the head's up from Violet May that they have a new glamour line of Blackberry Purses for us gals who want something nice to stash our Blackberries in when we're headed to dinner, the opera, the Oscars - whatever.

Now, they will run you likely as much as your Blackberry ($390 - includes VAT, US & CDN customers have this deducted so you're only paying $321.75), but hey, can you ever put a price on style?  Also, it's made of Italian leather and lined with satin, so you can't really go wrong.  The Blackberry Purses are 17cm x 12cm x 3.5 cm and have the following features:

• 5 slots for bank or business cards
• Internal slot suitable for Blackberry/iPhone/iPod
• Coin compartment
• Internal bank note compartment
• Extra compartment for receipts or passport

I expect to see a lot of these on the red carpet this year!

Have a New MacBook Air? Waterfield Designs has It Covered!

The cool folks over at Waterfield Designs have been working flat-out to get some new cases ready for all the MacBook Airs that will certainly be acquired.  They actually have three very cool options:

1. The new HardCase - sleek with serious protection.  All black, or, even better, with Kiwi or Pink interior leather!  $239.
2. The Racer-X - solid bag, great grip.  Reviewed over on my Squidoo lens.  Black with some high-colour accents. $169.
3. The SleeveCase - when you just need that slip of protection inside another bag.  Black.  Starts at $39.

If your new Air needs some laptop bag lovin', check out what Waterfield Designs has for you!  I think my fav is the new HardCase, Kiwi accent, shown below.

The Over Drive from Buckle Bag - Review

Buckle Bag is one of my new favourite bag companies - they make bags (all kinds .. handbags, school bags and more) from seat belts!  I reviewed the Over Drive on my Squidoo lens.  From the review ...

A bag made out of seatbelts is charming and delightfully ironic - I smile every time I see it. Especially since the closure is, in fact, an actual seat belt buckle. That says "Press".
