S. Stein Workbags, Handbags of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Sherry Stein originally starting designing custom workbags for herself and her family members because they each needed to lug very specific equipment around (she herself was an Industrial Designer and her two sisters were each a photographer and a fashion designer) and they wanted to do it in style. Inspired by the functional and utilitarian bags found in hardware and Army surplus stores, she uses natural materials in her designs so that as they get used, aged, and weathered they build character and become even more appealing. In her words her bags are "designed for working, living, and going 'for the long haul.'" $270-$380

Filed under: Handbags

Form and function make the best combination, as we have seen again and again. The Ultimate Totebag from S. Stein is a practical tote that is big enough to carry a laptop, file folders, small bags on shopping trips or even a towel and sunblock for a quick beach trip. It makes a great day bag or carry-on if you're traveling. The bag is made of canvas and ultra-soft, brilliantly dyed suede, with a cotton lining. The webbed shoulder straps are removable, which makes them easy to clean, and the large front has a button closure. Color combinations include: Wine/Parsley, Burgundy/Berry and Black/Espresso. Price: $275.
