Nowadays, most working stiffs (not knocking it -- I'm one of them too) have to carry their laptops to and from work ,and there's nothing that'll jack up an otherwise cute outfit like a bulky, black laptop carrier with a thick-ass strap. Think about those days in the spring when you're rocking a frilly skirt, pumps, a tote and... a nasty-looking laptop case? Yuck.
Fortunately, there are all types of alternatives now -- from fancy leather and ostrich cases to these funky and one-of-a-kind designs by Rebe. Made from vintage fabrics, each laptop carrier has its very own retro personality. The Kerry Sleeve style, my personal fave, comes equipped with sturdy shoulder straps so that it can double as a handbag. BUT it's also slim enough to fit inside an oversized bag. A large pocket on the outside, designed to carry any cords, CDs, file folders, helps minimize clutter. Don't you love it when there's a practical reason to buy something hot?
The Kerry Leptop Sleeve retails for $88. Visit http://www.myrebe.com
