Small Offices, Big Bags

As office cubicles continue to shrink smaller and smaller, there's no problem with losing file space since the work is mostly electronic. But we miss space for our family photos and concerns abound with no room to stow our big purses.  We're starting to see gallery hangings of gorgeous purses in the aisleways outside our offices. Is this the silver lining to losing our private personal space?  Our office aisles are becoming purse art galleries.

Here we see Louis Vitton hanging casually outside the Project Manager's office.  Notice the beauful, gentle leather pleating in this style,.  The pleating is on both sides.  In fact this bag is identical on both sides.  So comfortable to carry because it folds right in against your body.  The leather straps with the red detail accent alongside the stitching is eye catching.  Inside there's a matching shade of red lining, so you can easily see all you are carrying inside. There's no outside pockets, but a big inside zip pocket, along with two slip pockets for easy access to cell phone and glasses and keys. There is also a matching long shoulder strap, but that was not used today.

Here we see that the Relationship Manager has arrived at the office for the day, so LV has been joined in the aisle by Calvin Klein.  CK is a combined large bag/briefcase, easily accomodating a full size laptop, papers, notebook, and a novel for relaxed reading on the bus commute.  A big bag indeed, yet so easy to carry either by hand or using the comfortable shoulder strap.  The large outside pockets are great for easy access items, and even for stuffing in a tote umbrella.  Inside it's the signature CK lining.

CK and LV will be hanging around together all day.
 

Down the hall, a fleeting picture of a colorful, generic shoulder bag.  The electric blue is outstanding against the silver hardware.  Love the braided shoulder straps.  Just hanging around until time to head home.
