Shopping Halp

When you're transporting documents, in a presentation, doing lawyer-type things, or for just general business use, what kind of tote do you carry that accommodates files and documents?  I have a wonderful women's leather computer bag that looks very professional, but it is way too bulky to use for just paperwork.  Please suggest totes/briefcases that aren't too bulky and have short handles; my budget is $75.  I don't need it to have a laptop section or sleeve.I'd like something as functional as this, but I think it's too manly:[url]http://www.solocases.com/item.aspx?id=1311[/url] or

Don't buy that. It is ugly. I will be back with suggestions soon

I have a Liz Claiborne tote that's perfect for files and I can barely squeeze my laptop in it in a pinch.  I bought it a few years ago but I think it was around $75.  I'm pretty sure I got it at Macy's on sale.Anyway, since it's surely not available and this isn't remotely helpful, check Macy's and/or Liz Claiborne.

You're right, it's either too manly or just fugly.I got a great case at the Coach outlet nere here, I think it was a bit more than $75 but under $100.  Are there outlet stores near where you live?

I kind of like this one [url]http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/APC-Litigator-Leather-Executive-Briefcase/2669841/product.html[/url] but it is sold out.I am traveling to Reno soon and will be doing a week of presentations & business meetings.  I don't want to seem sloppy or unprepared.  I am not usually the one in my company who travels for these things - I am going in someone's place due to a scheduling conflict, so I am not completely prepared.

I know you don't need it to double as a laptop bag but this is nicehttp://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Nunzia-Designer-Womens-Laptop-Briefcase-Emelia-Red/2654969/product.html http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=409088&CategoryID=46028&LinkLoc=26846&LinkType=SiteAd&AdID=508980 http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=405371&CategoryID=46028&LinkLoc=26846&LinkType=SiteAd&AdID=508980 http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Latico-Leather-Double-Handle-Tote-Bag/4188303/product.html http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Nunzia-Designer-Francesca-Black-Buckle-Laptop-Tote/3314091/product.html

OOT, there is a Coach outlet in the city where I live - maybe I will make a trip there this weekend.

Mod, I love the last one you posted - I will probably get that one!  Thanks so much for helping me - I have been searching for a while and haven't found anything I loved.

take a look at the measurements it might be pretty bulky for what you want but I like it too. Also check your Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxxes
