As a writer, I pretty much lug my laptop everywhere. I lug it to the coffee shops and to the libraries. I lug it to my car and to my work. It’s like I’m back in college holding overweight books again.  But I would be oh so cool if I had this “over-sized” leather messenger bag by Beth Springer. It’s strong enough for a laptop yet lightweight and is a great travel companion whether you are going across town or half way across the world. Plus, it’s also made out of vegetable dyed leather so you know it’s strong.  I think my favorite thing about this bag is its color though. I’m a sucker for colors commonly found on vegetables and this spinach green is just bold enough to be striking without being too over the top.  I can’t eat it but carrying it would be the next best thing!

Navoh Handbags "Christopher" messenger in beige.

Many people may not agree with me, but I like Pamela Anderson. Mostly known for her work in Baywatch and Playboy, Pamela is not known for her work as an animal activist. She is a huge advocate for animal rights, urging people to boycott goods and foods that hurt or abuse animals.

This “Christopher” messenger bag by Navoh Handbags is a small satchel with a top zipper closure and a back zip-up pocket. It has two cell phone compartments and can be carried on your arm or over the shoulder. Peek inside, and you’ll see lovely yellow and blue flowers looping their way across a plum background. And you don’t have to kill any animals to get it. It’s made of the finest faux leather.

Pamela would be proud.
