For years, I lugged around a boring black microfiber briefcase that looked exactly like every other briefcase. Functional and practical– my husband still owns one exactly like it.
I wanted something more fashion forward, so I bought a leather briefcase from Coach for more than $300. It looked fabulous, but the thin leather straps dug into my shoulder with even a moderate load of stuff (laptop, wallet and notebook). Being stylish wasn’t worth an aching upper back, so I eventually switched back to my dowdy old briefcase.
One day in the airport, I spotted a woman carrying a beautiful green silk brocade laptop case. I figured it was one of those things annoyingly perfect women stumble upon in a cute boutique somewhere and had no hope of actually getting one for myself. But she told me that she found it at eBags and that it cost her less than $100.
I bought one in lavender, and I get complimented on it everywhere I go. The bag looks sleek, but it holds my laptop, laptop powercord, iPOD, cellphone, wallet, notebook, folders, essential makeup, and a small bottle of water. Most importantly, the padded wide strap doesn’t hurt my shoulder. Even better….selling the Coach bag that hurt my shoulder on Ebay more than paid for it.
