Work Handbags - Our Favorite Office-Chic Styles

When you need a professional-looking bag to complete your business outfit, a briefcase or laptop tote might seem like the perfect solution. However, sometimes a business case just won’t do. It might be too bulky or carry far more than you need for your particular business situation or event. In these cases, consider a work handbag. Work handbags offer office-chic style but hold just the essentials.

Work Clutch: Clutches are ideal for dinner and happy hour - times when you don’t need to carry much beyond your ID, money, keys, phone, and some makeup essentials. For dinner, add some charm to a traditional dress with a snakeskin envelope clutch or jewel-tone handheld bag with some bling. For happy hour, consider something bright and flirty like a clutch with neon details. In both cases, the clutch serves as a surprising accessory that shows off your creative and fun side without going overboard.

Work Satchel: Satchels complement business looks well because of their structured style. They say organized, sharp, and assertive which is perfect for meetings, travel, and especially job interviews. Many satchels have interior pockets and other organization features that make them the perfect bags for holding business essentials like pens, small notebooks, and business cards and keeping them handy.

Tech Handbag: Tech handbags are the latest innovation in the fashion accessory world. Designed with sleeves to fit your iPad or tablet, these bags are great for meetings and presentations where you want something that is not only functional, but fashionable. A sparkly Nine West iPad shopper or a sleek Cole Haan tablet tote make great head-turning accents when paired with a classic business suit.

Exclusive Kenneth Cole Reaction Bags!

As you know, men’s professional accessories look a bit different today than in years past. While briefcases are still used by some, many have traded in these boxy attaches for leather shoulder bags and messenger bags that can accommodate today’s needs. These bags are just as polished but tend to have features like laptop sleeves, electronics accessory pockets, and more.

A popular brand in professional style bags is Kenneth Cole Reaction. While there are many styles available from this brand right now, we here at eBags have 3 exclusives that are worth checking out.

Kenneth Cole Reaction Come Bag Soon Colombian Leather Laptop & iPad Messenger The Kenneth Cole Reaction Come Bag Soon Messenger is the perfect bag for the commuting professional. You can carry your laptop, your iPad (in a dedicated pocket), and your other work essentials inside and do so with ease thanks to the padded shoulder strap and top handle. There are even two pockets under the flap - one for your cell phone and one that includes pen loops and credit card slots. The rich, full-grain Colombian leather exterior is available in 3 colors and offers that sophisticated look you need to complement your business style.
Kenneth Cole Reaction Not Half Bag Canvas iPad Day Bag Carry just your iPad? No need for a bulky bag then. Choose an iPad bag that holds your device and a few other essentials like the Kenneth Cole Reaction Not Half Bag Canvas iPad Day Bag. This bag in particular works well for the professional who wants a more casual style bag for everyday use. Made from coated canvas with a leather trim, the iPad Day Bag features a padded iPad pocket, padded shoulder strap for easy carrying, and several pockets to keep you organized including a top pocket with an iPhone holder and pen loops.
Kenneth Cole Reaction Bag for Good Colombian Leather iPad Day Bag If you prefer the look of leather and want the benefits of the iPad Day Bag, look no further than our exclusive Kenneth Cole Reaction Bag for Good Colombian Leather iPad Day Bag. This bag includes many of the same features as the canvas day bag including cell phone holder, pen loops, padded iPad pocket, and padded shoulder strap but comes in 3 colors of rich, full-grain cowhide leather for that polished look.

These beautiful Kenneth Cole Reaction bags also make excellent Father’s Day gifts and graduation gifts!

Women’s Laptop Bags On Sale

New year, new bag.

The beginning of a new year is a great time to get organized. In fact, being more organized is a common New Year’s resolution (although admittedly it’s not as popular as the resolution to lose weight).

Getting organized can mean different things to different people. At home, organization may involve redoing your closet or buying containers to store items better. At work, this might mean cleaning off/out your desk or finding yourself a new work bag to hold all your business essentials.

If you’re in this last group and looking for a new women’s laptop bag, tote, or briefcase, you’re in luck. At eBags for a limited time, we have a huge selection of women’s laptop bags on sale for up to 60% off. This includes laptop totes, leather cases, briefcases, rolling cases, and even laptop backpacks and sleeves.

Below are some of our favorite picks in the eBags women’s laptop bag sale.

Laptop Totes on Sale: Laptop totes offer the perfect combination of style, versatility, and functionality. Laptop totes not only offer fashionable protection for your laptop, they also hold all your work essentials neatly in an over-the-shoulder bag that virtually eliminates the need to carry a separate handbag (although you can easily stash a small clutch inside perfect for lunches out or a run to the coffee shop).

Holiday Gifts for Law Students

Holiday Gifts for Law StudentsIf you’ve got a law student on your holiday gift list this year, you might want to give them something that will help them in their school and career pursuit. Below are some great holiday gifts for law students that will help them look professional now and in the future.

Briefcases: Whether carrying books to class or important papers to court, a briefcase is the perfect gift for law students who want to look professional, successful, and ready to work hard. Today’s briefcases take many different forms depending on the user’s style. Traditional briefcases and attaches are ideal for formal business occasions. These are most often made from high quality leathers and give their carriers a truly executive appearance. For a more casual look, consider leather messenger bags which are still career-appropriate but slightly less formal. Leather messenger bags also have the added benefit of often including dedicated laptop sleeves perfect for students who prefer to carry computers or tablets on campus and beyond. Wheeled cases are a great choice for students who want to carry a lot without strain on the back and shoulders.

Holiday Gifts for Law StudentsPadfolios: A leather padfolio makes a statement when you’re taking notes of any kind. A law student will appreciate the professional look that a padfolio lends when in case, taking notes on a case, and interviewing for jobs. Padfolios not only include a notepad and room for loose papers, but they also often include holders for pens and room for business cards. Padfolios are also often an affordable holiday gift for law students.

Writing Instruments: A pen is a must in school and in career when you need to take notes or jot things down and a computer just won’t suffice (or a computer isn’t nearby). A stylish writing instrument makes an excellent gift for professionals including lawyers and, of course, future lawyers. Some pens are simply stylish while others, like the Nite Ize Inka Pen, are high tech offering interesting features such as watertight construction and the ability to write at any angle wet or dry. Not only are these gifts functional, but they are also conversation pieces for the recipient.

The Many Uses of Laptop Sleeves

Laptop SleevesWith the huge selection of laptop bags available including traditional shoulder bags, laptop backpacks, laptop messengers, and totes, you might wonder why laptop sleeves are still made. However, they continue to be one of the most sought-after styles of computer bags today and with good reason. Laptop sleeves offer unique functionality for a variety of purposes.

Turn any bag into a laptop bag: With a laptop sleeve, you can turn a bag without a built-in laptop compartment into a laptop bag. That means if you’ve got a favorite messenger bag, designer tote, school backpack, or any other bag that you want to use as a laptop bag, you can do so simply by stashing your computer in a sleeve first and then placing that in your bag. Laptop sleeves without a handle are best for use with other bags.

Carry just the essentials without bulk: For the times when you simply want to take your laptop and a few accessories like the power adapter with you, a laptop sleeve is an ideal choice. The laptop sleeve provides adequate protection for your computer without the bulk of a traditional laptop bag. Laptop sleeves with handles are a great choice in this scenario.

For smaller mobile devices: A sleeve is an ideal choice when you want to carry and protect a smaller device while on the go. This includes tablets, netbooks, and especially iPads. While there are certainly full-featured bags that are designed to fit iPads and tablets, sleeves are a more popular choice because they offer protection from occasional bumps and scrapes without the unnecessary bulk.

Do you own a laptop sleeve? What do you use your sleeve for? Comment below and let us know.

Look Professional With Kenneth Cole Reaction

Kenneth Cole Reaction Columbian Leather Messenger BagGone are the days of your dad’s boxy briefcase. Today’s professional men carry laptop bags especially leather laptop messenger bags to and from work. That’s because today’s leather laptop messengers offer just the right blend of business style and casual edge that complements everything from a business suit to dress shirt and jeans.

Unlike business cases of days gone by, today’s business bags incorporate features to accommodate a modern professional’s needs. Many bags include laptop compartments, organizer panels, cell phone storage, and now even iPad or tablet sleeves, making them truly functional accessories.

One top name in the leather messenger bag area is Kenneth Cole Reaction bags. Their use of high quality materials including full grain nappa leather plus the clean lines and no nonsense approach to bags keeps them at the forefront of men’s business cases. Take the Kenneth Cole Reaction Columbian Leather Messenger Bag, for instance. It’s rich, full grain cowhide leather exterior is perfect for completing your business casual look while features like a roomy and versatile main compartment and easy rear access pocket keep you organized on the go.

Another popular choice is the Kenneth Cole Reaction Leather Dowel Rod Portfolio. Another full-grain cowhide leather bag, this case completes any polished professional look and includes numerous spacious compartments and an ergonomic shoulder strap.

Even if you’re not into leather messengers, you can still look professional with Kenneth Cole Reaction Business and Luggage. They offer a variety of wheeled business cases, traditional laptop bags, and even women’s totes.
