Charleston Fashion: The Alesya Bag

by Amber Evans on August 3, 2011

Today we are featuring a fabulous find: the Alesya laptop bag.  And may we say, “Hello, gorgeous.”  This laptop bag says, “I Want To Be Your Next CEO” while also saying, “Doesn’t this just go great with my skinny jeans and floral tank?”  That’s because it embodies the best two things about women: power and beauty.  It’s not clunky like other laptop bags; in fact, it looks just like a fabulous bucket bag.  It has a shallow pocket so that you can avoid digging for your keys or parking pass for what-seems-like-hours in the sweltering Carolina heat, and a medium pocket for less immediate needs.  Did we also mention that they are designed in Charleston?  So check out Alesya Bags; your Tory Burch flats will thank you.

Alesya laptop bags come in eggplant, tan and kelly green.  Can you guess which is my favorite?

Alesya is conducting an Alesya Bag Ambassador search.  She is giving away a free bag for fab women who want to carry it and shout it from the rooftops (or, you know, tweet & blog about it).  Interested?  Apply here.
